Still - goes to show you this market. Get ready for Hahn/KW to say how they didn't anticipate it. Which again - that is fine - but than read and react, you don't get to punt multiple off-seasons, multiple deadlines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 800-ish OPS the last 2 seasons, guy probably faced the shift a lot, gives them a lot more weight in the middle of that order. Had a bad 2020 and an excellent 2019. Just puts them in a better position to compete with us. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been searching for a long time. If you have one, please show me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Josh Bells career high fWAR is 2.1. As Krueger would say on Seinfeld, I'm not worried about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Guardians will add a catcher also. Really, really solid lineup with Kwan, Rosario, Ramirez, Bell, Gonzalez, Gimenez, Naylor, catcher, Straw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Cleveland has actually spent money on a 1b three times since 2015. The last two wound up with the White Sox and were awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) At that price you throw the dice if you're the guardians. the commitment is short, price is reasonable. But we have our own 1B/OF juggernaut in Gavin Sheets. Edited December 6, 2022 by he gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 The Guardians add a hitter while the Sox lose their best hitter. Things are going great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
