candyman93 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I’ve seen Dylan Lesko locked to Cleveland a lot. He’d be a steal from what I’ve read and seen. He would only slip because of his injury (needed Tommy John surgery). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Quote They selected 21 players in the 20-round draft, including an extra competive balance choice, of which 19 were pitchers. Eighteen of those pitchers were college selections. Totally forgot they did this last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone in the 38th round will probably end up being the best of this draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delauter went and tore up the Cape league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Schedule looks pretty soft in the 2nd half and we’re only 2 games back in the division. https://www.espn.com/mlb/team/schedule/_/name/cle/seasontype/2/half/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) These guys did a nice job breaking down our farm system. This franchise is set up REALLY well. Johnskey Noel is a name to remember. George Valera will be starting in our outfield next year. 1. We have our superstar locked up on a very friendly contract. 2. Bullpen is set for awhile. 3. We have young developing talent already starting for us. 4. Still have an amazing front office and staff that gets the best out of guys. 5. Fantastic farm system. https://www.mlb.com/prospects/guardians/ Edited July 19, 2022 by candyman93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic farm system. https://www.mlb.com/prospects/guardians/ I know its highly unlikely, but I wonder if the team decides to trade some of these prospects for Juan Soto since he is available. Is there such thing as being too young? Do we have too much young talent and not enough spots on the roster? Is consolidation of assets going to have to happen? I dont think the team ever thought guys like Kwon and Miller were going to perform as consistent as they have. Then you take in consideration guys like Reyes, Jose, Giminez, Naylor, Straw who are going to be mainstays and the roster openings get pretty thin. I know it comes down to $$ to pay Soto, but imagine trading 2-3 of those prospects for him and inserting him in this lineup so its not all on Jose to be that one true elite bat.

I think the problem is that it’s against what they philosophically do traditionally. #1 they aren’t going to pay him and #2 they would be giving up a pretty nice prospect ransom for a rental. With us probably not being real title contenders I just don’t see us being that type of buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they ponied up 150 million or whatever for Jose was stunning, they’re not gonna commit to anyone for half a billion. And I’m not even mad about that tbh. He’s a good player, but the idea of paying a dude who’s 23 until he’s in his late 30’s is kinda wild. Like, how many dudes who were good even 10 years ago are still good now? And not really just good, but great? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt they give him a 10+ year contract and have been likely regretting the past 5 or so years of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t trust anyone with that length of a deal. Unless there’s some crazy incentives and possible outs in the deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were torn on the contract details because they saw how much it crippled DET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
