2. John Axford, Indians: After cutting ties with Chris Perez early in the offseason, the Indians signed Axford to a one-year $4.5 million deal to be their closer after he pitched for Milwaukee and St. Louis last year. Axford saved 106 games for the Brewers from 2009 through 2012, but he didn’t save one last year as he lost the job in April and was traded to the Cardinals later in the season.
Axford needs to reclaim his closer’s job and reputation if the Tribe is going to build on last year’s 92-win season.
