I've been a JRod hopeful for many many years, but now that I've seen him in big leagues, only a bit I realize, I have lost my faith in him I drop Jones and JRod. I guess I keep Noel since we need SOME RH bats although his career arc looks a lot like Oscar Gonzalez' Otherwise I say goodbye to Kent [c...

Yes Wilson may be a world series star for someone in 5 years!
I assume Jones will get unanimous votes off the island

What about Kent and Nikhazy?

they need to drop at least 3 to get to 40; and will need to add a few new names, too

Would Forum like to vote on who to dump from the winter 40 man roster; there are 43 at present including guys on 60 day IL who are counted in again shortly. I assume Matt Kroek and catcher Nunez will be dropped. Reliever Franco Aleman had a very bad season in Columbus What do you think we should do ...

That surprises me. I would have thought he'd look for a multiyear deal somewhere. Sone pretty nondescript pitchers signed similar or better deals last winter [Alex Cobb got $15M from Detroit]; Reliever Tanner Scott got $72M for 4 years from the Dodgers.

as noted before, LaViolette, Walton, Schuber; along with Caceres, Rosario, Antunez, Chourio and Robert Arias give the Guardians a large number of OF among their top prospects and will once again test their ability to develop any of them into major leaguers, not exactly the system's strength over the...

GUARDIANS PROSPECTS Alfonsin Rosario (RF, Surprise): 1-3, 3 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 SB - While Rosario trio of trips to the basepaths on Tuesday included a base hit, his second RBI of the autumnal campaign came on a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the eighth. Winter batting average: 120 OPS 410 Ju...

so since 2025 season is over, here come the first projections for 2026. At espn, Tigers ranked No. 10, Royals No. 11, 16. Cleveland Guardians 2025 record: 88-74 Final 2025 ranking: 10 I know, I know ... underestimate the Guardians at your own peril, so we'll rank them here in the middle. They won a ...

Giminez drove in a run and concluded a decent postseason although not so hot in the Series until that at bat. Previously his day was highlighted by a Giminez Special: sticks his arm in the path of an incoming pitch and earns a "hit by pitch" and started a bit of on-field riot. I couldn't s...

Ok I'll post the report today Joe Lampe (CF, Surprise): 1-3, BB - Lampe moved into the leadoff spot and had a good game. He actually had two of the five hardest hit balls in the game. The hardest hit ball, 110 MPH was a lineout. His single was 105 but had a -2 launch angle, so his hardest hit balls ...

Guardians Prospects Trenton Denholm (SP, Surprise): 3IP, 5H, 4K - Yes, Denholm was on the mound for an AFL game that ended in a 0-0 tie. They don’t play extras in the AFL, so somewhere there are ties in baseball. Denholm threw five knuckleballs in this one. That’s the most he’s thrown in a game so f...

See in Minor Matters, Denholm threw 8 knuckleballs yesterday. Making progress? perhaps

Good to see him healthy; playing; and hitting.
Chourio is meeting only 2 of those 3 criteria.
Brito none

It's been a nice Series for the Guardians North Branch

Chourio continues to underperform.
Meanwhile Espino is looking worthy of a boost up into the prospect top 10 for the Guardians again.
He's currently listed No. 30 of 30

Daniel Espino (SP, Surprise): 1.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, BB, 2 Ks - Espino continues to look sharp as he elevates his workload in the Arizona Fall League. This was the first time that he has spanned multiple innings this fall and he preserved his shutout streak to nearly five straight innings. Espino’s velo...
