Re: Minor Matters

Here’s the Guardians’ Spring Breakout roster (Thu., 2 p.m. ET) Notable position players The Guardians’ position player pool includes three of their top six prospects on MLB Pipeline’s Top 30 list: shortstop Angel Genao (No. 3 prospect, No. 66 overall), first baseman Ralphy Velazquez (No. 4, No. 89) ...

Re: SPRING TRAINING 2017!

Valera remains out; it's been about 10 days; and games last only through next Tuesday. It looks more and more likely that he'll open as usual on the IL. One among Jones, Halpin and Fairchild will be the final OF. Gaddis is throwing but not yet in a game. He may well need some time on the IL too. Bul...

Re: SPRING TRAINING 2017!

Any injury for Valera could well keep him sidelined for weeks. Petey Halpin could step in for his roster spot. Schneemann's injury reveals that we're surprisingly somewhat short on middle infielders major league ready. Brito really should get more time in AAA but could step in for awhile. NonRoster ...

Re: GameTime!™

I have to hope that the non-hitless days by Jones and JRod on Friday don't boost their chances; Nolan doubled and walked; Rodriguez with a couple singles,he has no extra base hits in 30 appearances. I'm pretty sure he's a certainty to depart. Jones could get a reprieve if Valera remains out. Althoug...

Re: SPRING TRAINING 2017!

The article on Jones tried hard to put a positive spin on his efforts, but I'm afraid it's not convincing to anyone, including Fink and Vogt and really most importantly Jones himself who leads the team and perhaps the league in selfdoubt. "The once top-hitter in the league is in the same conver...

Re: Minor Matters

Guardian minor league in the World Baseball tournament Israel starter Ryan Prager got off to an impressive start, retiring the top of the Dominican lineup in order. But there were warning signs, namely loud outs made by Ketel Marte (97 mph exit velocity) and Juan Soto (99.3 mph) that must have stuck...

Re: Articles

MLB’s new ABS challenge system was made for Guardians leadoff hitter Steven Kwan GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Steven Kwan watched a 3-0 fastball from Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Roki Sasaki sail past home plate on Tuesday afternoon. The heater missed the zone by nearly three inches, but the umpire ruled it a s...

Re: SPRING TRAINING 2017!

A post I think on the Athletic discussed 10 interesting position battles in spring training camps. One was the CLE OF. Noting DeLauter, Valera, Kayfus and Jones in competition. One posted comment was incisive: "Jones is having a good spring" observed the knowledge fan. Perhaps he posted th...

Re: SPRING TRAINING 2017!

"predicts that Chase DeLauter will get 510 at bats" Unless he is DeLauter's doctor he has no reason to make that prediction. It seems extremely unlikely. He hasn't even played back to back days in March and he''s been shut down briefly twice already. 400 at bats would be a satisfactory res...
