I am 100 percent on board with acquiring votto this offseason.
Great bat, a little power but mostly a huge clubhouse leader. And in my mind that is what we really lost when Ortiz retired. We need someone to lead our zombies and Get them focused,
I feel that if price is healthy, he could really contribute as a reliever during the playoffs.
It has to be tough for porcello not knowing if his two seamer will sink or not every time he throws it. Long relief seems like the perfect place for him during the playoffs.
Getting back to the playoffs for a second.
If the Guardians finish with the best record, in the al followed by Houston and us and the Yankees with the wildcard game.
Would we have to go to Houston for the first series and the Yankees go to Cleveland?
His wrist will determine if bogey can bounce back and start hitting this season.
For as hot as benintendi was in early to mid august, he is that cold in early september.
Mookie continues to mystify me. For all his talent, he just is not performing with the bat like he is capable of.
Not sure Wright will ever be the pitcher he was two years ago.
Desperate dave got burned very badly at third base this year thinking a veteran could get back to what he was before. I doubt he makes that mistake again.
I imagine a relief pitcher or two as part of a package will need to go to get a quality starter or hitter.
I think we could see some relief pitchers move on this offseason as desperate dave has to come up with a hitter and possibly another starter. (Depending on price's elbow)
I am a huge Maddox fan when he is throwing in control. Love the delivery and the late movement he gets on the heater.
In my perfect world we sign wade Davis and ransom Kimbrel to the nationals for turner, Robles and fedde.
I thought bogey was starting to put together a hot streak, but he has looked pretty bad lately.
I think the wrist is still bothering him so dropping him to 9th makes a lot of sense.
If what you are saying is true, and we are a couple games into the start of a cold spell.
And if each cold spell last 10 to 12 games. This might be the year we enter the playoffs on a hot steak.
