36; Jered Weaver; R/R; 30; Strikeouts down in 2012, but 20-game winner led AL in opponents average (.214), WHIP (1.018), hits per 9 IP (7.0).

33; C.J. Wilson; L/L; 32; All-Star in first half (9-5, 2.43 ERA) of 2012; looked lost in second half (4-5, 5.54 ERA, 11-game winless streak).

55; Joe Blanton; R/R; 32; Struck out 166, walked 34 in 191 innings last season; stuff isn’t overwhelming but usually keeps team in game.

57; Jerome Williams; R/R; 31; Long reliever, spot-starter needs to keep sinker down to be effective; he didn’t this spring.
