House Bill 512, titled Restructure education agencies and their duties, makes changes to state level agencies and positions which currently oversee education in the state of Ohio. The bill as proposed creates the Department of Learning and Achievement to oversee primary, secondary, and post-secondary education. The department would be administered by a director who would be appointed by the governor. According to information from the Ohio Legislature, the bill also would transfer to the Department (1) most of the powers and duties of the State Board of Education, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Department of Education and (2) all of the powers and duties of the Chancellor of Higher Education, Department of Higher Education, and Governor’s Ofﬁce of Workforce Transformation. The department of higher education and Ohio Board of Regents would be abolished, with the Chancellor of Higher Education position eliminated. Additionally, the bill would do the following:Speciﬁes that the State Board of Education, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Department of Education continue to exist for prescribed purposes. Retains some of the existing powers and duties of the State Board, Superintendent, and Department of Education, but transfers rule-making authority regarding those powers and duties to the Department of Learning and Achievement. Transfers speciﬁed responsibilities of the State Board and the Department of Education to the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Transfers the responsibility to adopt rules pertaining to comprehensive emergency management plans to the Department of Public Safety.In discussion at the prior board meeting, Eastern Board Legislative Liaison Adam Will spoke against the bill, which would place decision making for all levels of education under one department which would be appointed by the governor. Currently there are several departments and agencies which focus on various levels of education. This would combine all of that authority into one agency which supporters of the bill contend would be more economical. It would remove public voting on positions which make the decisions. Currently members of the State Board of Education are elected by the public, where the Director of the Department of Learning and Achievement would be appointed by the governor. The bill has been referred to the government accountability and oversight committee. In other business, the board approved posting a new full-time position for a Moderate/Severe Licensed Intervention Specialist for the Elementary, beginning 2018-19 school year. A pupil activity contract was approved for Andrew Benedum as a volunteer assistant baseball coach. Stacy Marcinko and Ron Grate were approved as classiﬁed substitutes for the remainder of the school year. Melissa McCune was approved as a See EASTERN | 5A A NEWS Obituaries: 2A Editorial: 4A Television: 5A Along the River: 6A Weather: 8A B SPORTS Sports: 1B-4B, 7B-8B Classifieds: 5B Comics: 6B JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

The capital budget, House Bill 529, contains funding for needed improvements to public services and facilities across the state, including schools, roads and bridges, waterways and parks. The bill also increases investments in mental health and addiction services facilities. Smith aims to work with local government and community leaders to understand their needs and priorities. Local projects being funded include the Field of Hope with $250,000, McIntyre Park Bike Path at $125,000, French Art Colony Renovations at $15,000 and Gallipolis Railroad Freight Station Museum’s restoration at $125,000. “The capital budget represents the state’s commitment to and the importance of investing in our local communities. I am very grateful to have secured funding for some of the projects within my district,” said Smith. In hopes of assisting Ohio’s students and preparing them for the workforce, the bill makes a statewide investment of $600 million in school construction, including repairs, renovations and maintenance, as well as $483 million for projects supporting Ohio’s public colleges and universities. The bill also features $514 million to repair See BUDGET | 3A �OBITUARIES/LOCAL 2A Sunday, March 25, 2018 Sunday Times-Sentinel OBITUARIES MINA MAE GORBY LENA CLARK MARYSVILLE — Lena Belle Clark, 87, of Marysville, died Thursday morning March 22, 2018 at the Heartland Hospice in Marysville.

With Facebook, the more I learn about their cavalier attitude toward users’ personal data, the more I don’t like, trust or want to spend time with them. And the more I read about Cambridge Analytica’s harvesting of the private data of more than 50 million Facebook users without their permission, the more stomach-turning I ﬁnd it that the company celebrated its Feb. Joseph 4 anniversary with a self-declared Holt “Friends Day,” a day for celebrating Contributing friendship. columnist When I opened the Friends Day link the other day, I received the following message: “Thank you for being a friend.” The message encouraged me to continue “to celebrate the ways that friends make life great,” and I will because they do. But Facebook itself does the opposite of what true friends do. True friends inspire trust. The more you know them the more you trust them. But the more I learn about the way that Facebook either knowingly or carelessly made private user data available to a political consulting ﬁrm targeting messages to voters for the 2016 Trump campaign, the less I trust them. The Facebook Principles open with the statement that “We are building Facebook to make the world more open and transparent.” And true friends are open and transparent with one another. But Facebook cannot credibly stand for the values of openness and transparency when it is translucent at best about its own operations. Senior Facebook leaders reportedly disagree about how openly the company should share the extent to which nation states used the social network to spread disinformation. That disagreement makes it difﬁcult to believe that openness and transparency are core values of the company. The openness of true friends is warranted because, as Aristotle pointed out, with friends in the truest sense you get the feeling that “he or she would never wrong me.” But the fact that Facebook allowed the personal data of so many trusting users to get into the hands of a political data ﬁrm whose CEO offered to entrap rival politicians in order to sway an election does not leave me conﬁdent that the company would never harm me. The fact that the social network was one of the most effective tools used in the 2016 election to spread Russian propaganda and fake news leaves me believing that they are capable of harming not only individuals but the country as a whole, knowingly or not. I can’t be friends with someone who would do that. Facebook is also an anti-friend because you cannot count on the company to keep its word. There is no close friendship without deep trust, and there is no deep trust between two people who can’t count on each other’s word. Facebook got into trouble with the Federal Trade Commission in 2011 for telling users that third-party apps could not access their data. The FTC found that the apps could in fact do so extensively. The company entered into a consent decree with the agency promising to protect people’s personal information. The Cambridge Analytica controversy makes clear the company has not kept its word. Whether that is because they did not care to do so, or because they were not capable of doing so, the result is the same: They cannot be trusted. True friends spend time with one another because they love one another, not so that they can use each other. Those who profess to be your friend when they need something from you but not otherwise are not your friend at all. Facebook is not your friend either. They want to get close to you and spend time with you so they can amass even greater power and wealth by selling ads based on personal information including your age, likes, etc. It pains me to write these words about Facebook, because the platform has enabled me to reconnect and stay in touch with dozens of true friends and family members that I had fallen out of touch with over years of widespread travel and study abroad. It troubles me that Facebook provides a place for true friends to meet and then takes advantage of the friends’ openness with each other. Facebook is like a bartender who keeps serving two friends drinks with a smile so that he or she can overhear their conversation and share details of it with people who want to use that information for their own purposes. I am sure that I want to stay in touch with my friends. But I am increasingly unsure that I want to stay for another round at Mr. Zuckerberg’s bar.

THEIR VIEW A psychic connects my mother, lost things Sixteen years ago, I talked to a psychic who posed a question, to which the universal answer would be afﬁrmative: “Do you often feel as if you simply can’t ﬁnd what you’re looking for?” I told the truth, because there’s no reason to lie to somebody whom you’re paying to tell you the truth about your hidden life. I am no practitioner of the black arts, but I’m fond of a good psychic. If one lived down the block from me, I’d be there twice a week at the very least spending my hardearned money to learn whether I’ll go broke in my future. I like a good medium, fortune-teller or spiritualist. I’m not picky: I’m not one to choose among them, no more than I would discriminate between a physician assistant, a nurse practitioner or a physician.

But the shocking verdict — could bond that has developed be turned on its head between Williams and for good. As he healed, Couch offers authentic Williams, a former youth pastor, also worked as a volunteer chaplain in family court. Fast forward a couple of years, to 2016 when Couch ﬁnally faced real consequences: After breaking probation and ﬂeeing to Mexico, he wound up sentenced to two years in jail. For reasons Williams didn’t even understand himself, he experienced an intense internal calling to visit with Couch. That began an excruciatingly slow — and oftentimes draining — attempt to get Couch to open up. Williams describes it like this: “If you imagine building a house with 20,000 bricks, one visit with Ethan might put two or three bricks in the wall.” Among the work they did together was to focus on the Old Testament book of Nehemiah, with its instructions on rebuilding a broken life. Williams, the father of two sons and two stepsons, hasn’t hesitated to provide parenting lessons he feels Couch needs to hear. Excuses, dishonesty and blame games don’t cut it with the Mansﬁeld resident. And they talked a lot about forgiveness, both in its biblical sense and Williams’ own change of heart toward Couch. It’s tempting to paint Williams, who runs the Reconciliation Institute nonproﬁt, as a saint who has provided a measure of grace to an unsympathetic character. But none of us — Williams included — are naturally inclined to forgive. Blame and censure are far easier accessed. That’s what makes the continuing relationship between Ethan Couch and Tim Williams all the more inspiring, reminding the rest of us of the possibilities that come out of generous and merciful choices. �LOCAL/TELEVISION Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, March 25, 2018 5A GOP investment in the solutions: the Luna Living Recovery Center in Cleveland, and a $1.5 million investment in the development From page 1A of a co-enzyme NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) advised to run for the Senate designed to treat drug addiagainst Sherrod Brown.” tion.

However, arguably the spring season highlight for the museum board is the potential of adding a passenger car which once belonged to a circus to the museum collection. “We’ve looked at a railroad passenger car which happened to have belonged to (Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus),” said Love. “It’s an old Pennsylvania sleeper car and Barnum and Bailey converted it to a ﬁvecompartment sleeping car. It’s in Huntington now and they’re stripping it out and we’re just getting the car and we’ll put our own interior in it.” Love said the board is waiting to purchase the car and guessed it might take around three months to get to the museum. The board anticipates to make the passenger car into a meeting room with a warming oven and cooling unit for catering and would like to rent it out to individuals who like to have parties or meetings. The car is planned to sit on museum track right beside the station. The car is a model from 1949 and is stainless steel. Board members feel the car is still “railworthy” and able to travel. It weighs around 95,000 pounds with its trucks being around 5 tons a piece. Board members plan to transport the car by placing rubber wheels on it and pulling it as a tractor trailer rig. Love said on the corner of Third Avenue and Sycamore Street, railroad track was hidden underneath a gravel lot leftover from several years ago. The board and volunteers recently dug up 99 feet of track and it was donated to the museum by Matt Willis with Jay Meyers Excavating having helped remove the track Thursday. “We took it out in long pieces, each side of the track, in once piece,” said Love. “We wanted the rail, the tie plates and the spikes. It was just under the stone. The deepest Volunteers prepare the gravel bed for rails in 2017.

They were generous enough to donate their time and equipment and we appreciate it.” Within the next month, Love said the board would ideally like to power wash the interior of the museum building to clear out any remaining bird excrement. Recently, the Ohio General Assembly passed its capital budget bill which, if signed by Gov. John Kasich, would bring a few hundred thousand dollars to Gallia projects. Among those approved include $125,000 to head to the museum’s rehabilitation efforts. Love ﬁrst approached Gallipolis City Commission about turning the aging station into a museum in April 2016. According to him, the station was an old freight house and built in 1901 by Hocking Valley, a rail company of the time. The building at the time was considered 115 years old and Love had once served as the building’s telegrapher. Dean Wright can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2103.

The Gallia Academy tennis team started the 2018 campaign in style on Friday night after winning both doubles matches and rallying back for a 3-2 victory over visiting Ironton in a non-conference contest at the Eastman Athletic Complex in Gallia County. The Blue Devils (1-0) needed a group effort to pull off the season-opening victory as the Fighting Tigers (0-1) led the match by a 2-1 count through three rounds of singles play. The Blue and White, however, posted consecutive straight-set decisions in both the ﬁrst and second doubles competitions, allowing the hosts to earn the hard-fought triumph. Trailing 2-1, the GAHS duo of Katie Carpenter and Kirsten Hesson rolled to a 6-4, 6-1 ﬁrst doubles victory over the IHS tandem of Sierra Vallance and Elena Wilson — which knotted the match at two wins apiece. The Gallia Academy duo of Thomas Hamilton and Nick Mayes wrapped up the win during the second doubles contest after posting a 7-5, 6-2 decision over the Ironton twosome of Todd Davidson and Ethan Bennett. Pierce Wilcoxon had the other victory for GAHS after breezing to a 6-0, 6-1 decision of Adian White in ﬁrst singles.

Or they’re not. They’re retooling. Or they’re not. They’re pointing toward 2019 and beyond. Or they’re focused on the here and now. The next six months will offer a chance at clarity. The Pirates head into 2018 without Andrew McCutchen in the outﬁeld on opening day for the ﬁrst time in nearly a decade and without Gerrit Cole in the rotation for the ﬁrst time since the start of 2013, traded in offseason moves that saved the franchise millions of dollars. Though both transactions included the Pirates picking up a handful of players they believe can make an immediate impact — including starting pitcher Joe Musgrove and third baseman Colin Moran See PIRATES | 4B 2018 GALLIA COUNTY SPRING SPORTS SCHEDULES GALLIA ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL 2018 Blue Devils Baseball Date Opponent March 24 vs Maysville (at VA) March 26 at Point Pleasant March 27 at Athens March 30 vs Ironton April 2 at Ironton April 3 vs Jackson April 4 vs South Point April 6 at South Point April 7 vs Piketon April 9 vs Rock Hill April 10 vs Point Pleasant April 11 at Rock Hill April 13 vs Portsmouth April 14 vs River Valley April 16 at Portsmouth April 17 vs Athens April 18 at Chesapeake April 20 vs Chesapeake April 21 vs Wellston April 23 at Coal Grove April 24 at Meigs April 25 vs Coal Grove April 27 at Fairland April 30 vs Fairland May 1 at Jackson May 2 at Vinton County May 3 vs Meigs Time 3 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 11 a.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 6 p.m. 5 p.m. noon 6 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 11 a.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 2018 Blue Angels softball Date Opponent March 20 vs Oak Hill March 24 at Alexander March 27 at Athens March 30 vs Ironton April 2 at Ironton April 3 vs Jackson April 4 vs South Point April 6 at South Point April 7 vs Piketon April 9 vs Rock Hill April 11 at Rock Hill April 13 vs Portsmouth April 14 vs River Valley April 16 at Portsmouth April 17 vs Athens April 18 at Chesapeake April 20 vs Chesapeake April 21 GAHS Tourney April 23 at Coal Grove April 24 at Meigs April 25 vs Coal Grove April 27 at Fairland Time 5 p.m. 11 a.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. noon 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 2 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 11 a.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. April 30 May 1 May 2 May 3 vs Fairland at Jackson at Vinton County vs Meigs 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 5 p.m. 2018 GAHS Track Schedule Date Meet Time March 24 South Point Relays 4:30 March 27 Jackson Open 4:30 April 3 GAHS Relays 4:30 April 6 Chesapeake INV 4:30 April 10 Gallia Co.

Harrison suggested the team consider moving him if it didn’t plan to contend. Third baseman David Freese chastised a clubhouse culture that lacked accountability as part of the reason why the team has gone from three straight playoff berths from 2013-15 to back below .500 each of the last two seasons. All the while general manager Neal Huntington has stressed Pittsburgh can remain relevant in the hyper- competitive NL Central while taking a decidedly different tack than rivals Milwaukee, Chicago and St. Louis, all of whom addressed roster concerns by dropping millions in free agency, a market the Pirates all but avoided. “The players that we currently have on this roster, the players we have on the horizon, the players we’ve acquired in the two trades will play meaningful roles in the next Pittsburgh Pirates playoff team,” Huntington said. Will that be this year? With two NL wild card spots available, it’s not entirely out of the question. If anything, the Pirates will at least get a chance to play their way into — or out of — the conversation. two hits apiece. Izzy King also had a hit. Cochran and King led Point Pleasant with two RBIs, while Byus ﬁnished the night with one. Following the game, PPHS coach James Higginbotham was pleased with the outcome, but noted several missed opportunities throughout the contest. “We stranded 10 runners on base,” said Higginbotham. “We couldn’t get clutch hits early in the game. When we got hits, there was no one on to drive home. “We did hit three home runs tonight and thankfully the one in the sev- enth inning was a big hit. I didn’t think they’d pitch to Leah, but they did and she drove it.” With the win, the Red and Black remain undefeated to start the 2018 campaign. Although done in dramatic fashion, Point Pleasant’s ﬁfth-year head coach does not see it as a means to complacency for his young ball club. “I tell the players we continually have to get better,” said Higgingbotham. “We are still a young team and learning. We made some mistakes tonight in the ﬁeld. We have to get out on the ﬁeld. We can’t play one day and take two days off for the weather. We have to get out on the ﬁeld and get into the groove. The conﬁdence you get from a game like this and winning, it’ll help our team in the long run.” The Lady Knights returned to action on Saturday with two contests at home against Eastern and Independence.

EURZVH�MREV��SRVW�\RXU�UHVXPH��JHW�DGYLFH jobmatchohio.com �SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, March 25, 2018 7B Reds rotation in focus as they try to end 90-loss streak CINCINNATI (AP) — The disappointment showed in manager Bryan Price’s expression and his words. The Cincinnati Reds had just lost their top starter during spring training for the third year in a row, and that was only the half of it. Not only was Anthony DeSclafani headed to the disabled list with another oblique injury, left-hander Brandon Finnegan had to stop throwing because of a sore forearm. The Reds have lost 90 games and ﬁnished last in the NL Central each of the last three seasons as their rebuilding plods along, their worst such streak since the 1930s. The biggest problem is the rotation, which has been gutted by injuries the last two years. This season is starting ominously. “I say that with nothing but frustration for Anthony and our club,” Price said while revealing DeSclafani’s injury. The injuries to DeSclafani and Finnegan left the Reds with one healthy veteran starter as the got ready to open the season — Homer Bailey, who missed time each of the last four seasons because of forearm and elbow operations. The Reds are going to have to lean on young, unproven starters again. They upgraded their bullpen in the offseason by signing right-handers Jared Hughes and David Hernandez to set up for closer Raisel Iglesias. Their everyday lineup is potent enough to keep them competitive. The status of the rotation will go a long way in deciding whether the Reds show signs of bottoming out in their rebuilding. “It’s been on my mind that we’re starting to get to the point where people are tired of this stretch of ball,” ﬁrst baseman Joey Votto said. “I think something has to start changing and going in a different direction. I’m going to do my part to aid that change.” Some things to watch as the Reds again try to dig out of their hole: VOTTO 12.0: The NL’s 2010 Most Valuable Player had a comparable season even as the Reds languished in last. Votto ﬁnished second to Giancarlo Stanton by two points for the MVP award in 2017. He batted .320 with 34 doubles, 36 homers, 100 RBIs and 134 walks. He led the NL in on-base percentage at .454. Entering his 12th season, Votto gives Reds fans something to appreciate on the team’s worst days. SCOOTER’S ENCORE: A late acquisition in spring training a year ago, Scooter Gennett had a season for the record books. He became the 17th player to hit four homers in a game on June 6 against the Cardinals, and the only player with ﬁve hits, four homers and 10 RBIs in a game. He hit four grand slams during the season, joining Lou Gehrig as the only players with four grand slams in a season and a four-homer game. What will he do for an encore? CHANGE OF SCENERY: Jose Peraza moves from second base to shortstop with Zack Cozart gone to the Angels. How well he Matt York | AP file adapts to the position — Cincinnati Reds pitcher Homer Bailey throws earlier this month against the Los Angles Angels. which he played in the Injuries to Anthony DeSclafani and Brandon Finnegan leave the Reds with one healthy veteran starter minors — will be a focus as they get ready to open the season: Bailey. early in the season. Villanova knocks out West Virginia, 90-78 BOSTON (AP) — Villanova’s 3-point party rolled past the intense pressure of West Virginia to bring the Wildcats to the doorstep of another Final Four two seasons after winning a national championship. The top-seeded Wildcats continued their outside feast in the NCAA Tournament, downing the ﬁfth-seeded Mountaineers 90-78 on Friday night to earn their second trip to the regional ﬁnals in three seasons. Jalen Brunson led Villanova with 27 points and Omari Spellman had 18 with eight rebounds as Villanova overcame the West Virginia press by hitting 13 of 24 shots from 3-point range. Daxter Miles had 16 points to lead West Virginia. Jevon Carter and Sagaba Konate added 12 each. Villanova (33-4) has now made 44 3-pointers for the tournament. The outside barrage helped the Wildcats overcome 16 turnovers and played into their Sweet 16 plan for their opponents nicknamed “Press Virginia”: Attack the stiﬂing defense head-on. “What a game, man. I hope that looked as good as it did from the bench, man,” Villanova coach Jay Wright said. “That was the most physically demanding, mentally draining 40 minutes we’ve played in a long time. They are so relentless.” The Wildcats struggled at times, especially in the ﬁrst half, but dug out of a six-point hole in the second half with an 11-0 run. The Mountaineers (26- 11) stayed close throughout, ramping up the pressure and making Villanova play faster than it wanted to early. But foul trouble throughout the second half was too much for West Virginia to overcome after it gave up the lead. Carter was called for his third with 17:33 left on Villanova. “When the whistle keeps blowing it really takes away your aggression,” he said. West Virginia adjusted for a while, taking advantage of a more than threeminute Villanova scoring drought to take a 60-54 edge with just over 11 minutes left. But Villanova heated up again. Its 11-point run was capped by a thunderous block and dunk on the other end by Omari Spellman that pushed the Wildcats back in front 65-60. The Wildcats kept the momentum going, stretching the lead to 76-66 on a 3-pointer by Brunson. “The deeper you go, the better the teams are going to be,” Brunson said. “For us, most importantly, nothing changes no matter who we play, where we play, what time we play. We play every game like it’s our last.” MY CARE WAS WORLD CLASS. I KNOW, BECAUSE I’VE LIVED ALL OVER THE WORLD. — Deborah, robotic colon surgery patient “After settling down here in Vienna from the life of a Navy wife, I learned I had a large mass in my colon. Fortunately, the only robotic surgery program in the Mid-Ohio Valley is located right here. That made it easier for my family to be with me. And I was home just three days later.

Not the Cleveland Indians, who remain unsatisﬁed, yet undeterred after consecutive postseason collapses. “We’re going after it, man,” said dazzling AllStar shortstop Francisco Lindor. “We want to win. We’re not backing down from anything.” The Indians have spent the past two postseasons in lamenting what might have been. One year after blowing a 3-1 lead and losing the World Series in seven games, they squandered a 2-0 advantage last October to the New York Yankees and again fell short of delivering a championship to Cleveland for the ﬁrst time since 1948. Maybe this is the year they end the majors’ longest title drought. With Cy Young winner Corey Kluber at the top of perhaps baseball’s deepest starting rotation, and in Lindor, one of the game’s transcendent talents, the Indians are certain to be in the mix to ﬁnally win it all in 2018. There are questions about left ﬁelder Michael Brantley’s health, whether the bullpen can withstand two signiﬁcant losses and replacing Carlos Santana and Jay Bruce’s offensive output, but Cleveland appears unequaled in the AL Central and ready to challenge the Astros Ross D. Franklin | AP file Cleveland Indians’ Francisco Lindor connects with a pitch during a spring training game earlier this month against the Cincinnati Reds. With Cy Young winner Corey Kluber at the top of perhaps baseball’s deepest starting rotation, and in Lindor, one of the game’s transcendent talents, the Indians are certain to be in the mix to finally win it all in 2018. and Yankees for league supremacy. The Indians’ window of opportunity isn’t closing, but they know it won’t stay open forever. BEST CASE: Brantley, who has played in only 101 games since 2015, and second baseman Jason Kipnis (he battled injuries throughout 2017) stay healthy and return to All-Star form. The Indians lock up the Central midway through September, allowing manager Terry Francona to rest his starters and set up his pitching plans for October. The club, which has twice lost World Series Game 7s in the past 21 years, ends seven decades of frustration and Cleveland celebrates only the city’s second major professional sports title since 1964.

UP IN ARMS: Kluber might be the staff’s ace, but he’s hardly the only pitching star. Carlos Carrasco went 18-6 last season and established himself as one of the AL’s most feared righthanders. Trevor Bauer ﬁnally matched his potential with performance and won 17 games, going 10-1 over his ﬁnal 13 starts. Danny Salazar recovered from a slow start and struck out 145 in 103 innings. And 27-year-old right-hander Mike Clevinger emerged as a possible future All-Star, going 12-6 with a 3.11 ERA. Shaw was a workhorse for Francona, pitching in at least 74 games in each of the past four seasons. He’ll be missed, but with closer Cody Allen and elite, late-inning lefty Andrew Miller, the Indians still have the pieces to shorten any game.
