GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Jensen Lewis and Rafael Perez seem to go unnoticed by Cleveland Indians fans - until they fail.

Both relief pitchers received plenty of unwanted attention in 2009, as Cleveland's bullpen went bust. The Indians converted only 25 of 43 save chances, a 58 percent success rate that tied Baltimore for worst in the American League. It was a key reason for a 65-97 record, Cleveland's worst since losing 105 games in 1992.

Lewis and Perez have blazed a trail of success thus far this spring, pleasing new manager Manny Acta. He knows how important the duo is in handing a lead to closer Kerry Wood.

Wood's talent often went unused a year ago as the Indians blew leads before he even warmed up.
