Kelvin de la Cruz is a skeletal left-handed strike machine buried in the Indians' farm system. A fastball specialist who rose through three levels of minor league play iback in 2008, he found some floor since, most recently posting a pedestrian 5-6, 4.19, 1.48 line in 86 AA innings (16 starts and 7 bullpen gigs) for Akron. He's still got crazy-good stuff, but he's running out of time to show that he can harness it and make it do what he needs it to do: hit the strike zone. 95 strikeouts in those 86 innings last year sounds great, until you factor in the 57 walks.
