Lindor also became the third-youngest shortstop in Major League history to hit 100 homers and play at least 90 percent of their games at short.

Alex Rodriguez - 23 years, 16 days
Cal Ripken Jr. - 24 years, 356 days
Francisco Lindor - 25 years, 163 days

Not bad company.

One note of encouragement, the Indians were 15-12 after 27 games last year. Their run differential (runs scored minus runs allowed) was minus one. They own the same record this year after 27 games with a run differential of +1.

No way, the Twins added offense. And some of their very young guys (Kepler, Buxton etc) are showing signs of taking their next step.

Still their rotation is a long way from ours. Interesting.

Who would have guessed that Kluber would be the weakest link in our rotation? It looks like we should have dealt him last winter, if reasonable offers actually had been made. Then again, we have every reason to expect him to straighten out and stop walking guys with the bases loaded and line up nicely behind the younger guys in the rotation.
