Go for it, he's closer to the majors than Andrew Miller of Detroit. However, if either Yovani Gallardo of the Brewers or Homer Bailey of the Reds should be taken.
I really like Miller. I like him more than Lincy. I'm not sure what Clevelands' plans are with him though? I'd like to hear where he stands as far as coming up or not.
Andrew Miller and Bailey are both allready in yahoo and can be grabbed anytime. if you have deep bench spots, is that a good move on either of them?
Adam Miller and Gallardo are not yet in yahoo, so one has to wait on them and likely use your waiver priority to get either of them.
With Carmona pitching very well i would say Adam isnt too close unless another injury were to occur. When he does come up he is worth a claim for sure though
Carmona, fine. But like I mentioned, is there any reason why Cleveland should show loyalty to a young, struggling Sowers? Adam Miller is just a year-and-a-half younger than Sowers. So what benefit is there for Cleveland to let a guy with more walks than strikeouts play over a guy who is dominating and clearly ready as Miller is?
Indians wont take Sowers out of the rotation until at least Mid June In my opinion. His stellar 2nd half combined with the fact that his numbers are skewed by a bad outing @NYY and his most recent start @Orioles. If we get to June 1, and hes still struggling to find consistency, then theyll consider making a switch.

Westbrook is only going to miss a few weeks on the DL, and they arent taking him out of the rotation after having just signed an extension for him for 3yrs/$33M.
CC, Byrd, Lee, Westbrook, 5th starter (Sowers, Carmona, Adam Miller). Once everyone is healthy, this is how the rotation will look absent some kind of prolonged meltdown by someone.
