Cleveland Indians/1995 Indians Starters

Question
Hi! What was the starting pitching staff for the Indians at the start of the season in 1995 and was it the same at the close of the season?

Answer
Hi, Randall.  Sorry for the delay, but your question took some research.  

I've identified at least four of the starters at the beginning of the 1995 season: Orel Hershiser, Dennis Martinez, Charles Nagy, and Chad Ogea.  I did a lot of looking for the other, but my best guess was that it was "by committee."  I found one guy named Roa who started 1 game, and Albie Lopez started 2 games.  

This situation is most likely what led to the Tribe acquiring Ken Hill in midseason.  He was the fourth starter for the postseason games.  The others, in order, were Hershiser, Martinez, and Nagy.

Have a great weekend!
