Yet, all of these above inconsistencies were apropos when Salazar was stringing together an All-Star appearance in 2016, and an All-Star caliber season in 2015. The Indians can look fondly on 484 innings of a low-end No. 2 starter or high-end No. 3 starter production and wonder where it has gone in 2017 during Salazar’s 47 innings of mediocrity. A 5.55 ERA and 4.75 FIP scream concerns while a 3.33 xFIP would have fans believe that better things are to come.1
