We still feel good about the other guys, but he won the job." Lewis is coming off a breakout September last year when he went 4-0 with a 2.63 ERA in four starts for the Tribe. "I'm pretty excited," Lewis said. "I thought I made a pretty good case for myself. The other guys I was up against have more experience than me, so it feels pretty good to get the job. I've always been confident I could pitch at this level. But I also realize I still have a lot of work to do and a lot to learn." --RHP Anthony Reyes had a solid training camp, but he will open the season as the club's No. 5 starter, not No. 4, as was expected. After naming LHP Scott Lewis the winner of the one open spot in the starting rotation, manager Eric Wedge said Lewis will open as the No. 4 starter, with Reyes at No. 5. "We feel (having Lewis No. 4 and Reyes No. 5) sets up better for us," said Wedge, who admitted one reason for the switch is that with Lewis in the fourth spot the Indians would not have the two lefties in the rotation, Cliff Lee and Lewis, pitching back-to-back. But Reyes' history of elbow trouble was clearly another factor. He was shut down the last month of last season because of a sore elbow but has pitched pain free this spring. The Indians will open the season with a rotation of LHP Cliff Lee, RHP Fausto Carmona, RHP Carl Pavano, Lewis and Reyes. --RHP Carl Pavano struggled through his first five starts of the spring before finally having his first good outing in his sixth start, vs. San Diego. Pavano, who missed most of the last four years while with the Yankees because of injuries, has been healthy this spring, just not very effective. "I'm cognizant of the fact that I haven't been out there in awhile," he said. "You have to be patient that things will come back. You want it to be now, now, now, but you've got to build off every outing." In his start against the Padres, Pavano pitched six innings, allowing two runs on seven hits with two strikeouts and no walks. "Up until this start I was getting frustrated," Pavano said. "I tend to want things to come quicker than they do. "It's unacceptable for me to tell myself that I haven't pitched in a long time. I don't want to use that as a crutch.
