caulfield12 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Minnesota at +9, Guardians at +5 and rapidly closing with the easiest June schedule. Sox at -1 before a really tough week, then Baltimore. CLE with best overall player, Minny with two stars and a deeper lineup when healthy, Guardians with better rotation of the two (Civale the biggest weak link) and clearly the best closer. Guardians with a lot more valuable trade pieces in their system and theoretical financial flexibility compared to having Correa on the books. Arguably the best manager in the division who consistently gets the most out of his underdog/cinderella teams. Both swept Sox early, and Naylor game has to be in their heads a bit…not to mention how tough the Guardians played the Sox for the last decade, but 2020-21 as well.

KrankinSox Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Sox have the easiest remaining schedule in all of MLB. If they can't find a way to win this weak division, it will be their own doing. Get healthy, beat the piss out of Minnesota and Cleveland head-to-head. Win this damn division. Twins and Guardians ain't shit. Fangraphs actually projects the Twins to have about a 44% chance to won the division, Sox at 35%, and Guardians at 21%. I think Cleveland is about to fade fast with a tougher schedule coming up. They've feasted on dogshit teams for the last month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 They only thing they have to fear is fear itself...and their manager. Injuries, lack of a good roster, and TLR will be much more impactful to losing the division than the other teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Deep Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 We should fear ourselves. We can't seem to get out of our own way with injuries and sometimes stupid decisions, sometimes stupid play in the field. If we can find a way to stay healthy for the rest of the year, to the ear, play better baseball than there is no one in our division that is going to beat us.

Snopek Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I mean, the answer is clearly themselves. But I'm also not gonna pretend that they're superior to the other teams until they can, you know, beat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hopefully the next stop is ambassador, nothing that involves franchise decisions. Shake some hands, show off your rings, continue with your charities.

GreenSox Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Close call. Minny has more resources; Cleveland has the better front office. Both front offices, of course, tower over the Hahn and Haber show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
