Would actually be nice, tbh.

He looks like he's about to go into a funk though. Will be interesting to see what his final numbers look like this year.

Cannon didn't miss a ton of bats in W/S, this shouldn't be a surprise. He has to come up with an out pitch.

Burger is basically HR or K though.

Well now is as good of a time as any to conduct that experiment. I wonder what his fielding metrics look like when there's a big enough sample size.

Good, so can we move on from the bust Vaughn and put Burger at 1B?

I'm well aware, I haven't thought that in a while. I accepted he wasn't that good in 2021 but thought he could still be slightly overpaid until this year. 2022+2023 led me to finally give up on him as a hitter. Moustakas had more power than Yoan does now but is otherwise a very good comparison as a player and highly ranked prospect.

Moncada peaked with the moonshot off Strasburg in 2019.

Not that they'd do it, but in a sane organization Vaughn would be a non-tender candidate, right?

I really thought he was gonna be a Jose Ramirez clone. This is a guy that used to hit 115 mph HRs and stole 40 bags in AA. He's one of Baseball's greatest enigmas.

$29M if you include his buyout.

93 mph from Cease. WTF. He injured?

They already moved Reyes to the Pen? Yikes.

It's amazing how the Guardians can pull starters out of their ass.

If we're being honest, Burger doesn't have a position either.

Jake Burger is basically Rob Deer.

When was the last time Cease's ERA was under 4.00? And it's not like the Sox D is hurting him because his xFIP going into today was 3.95 Team is so dumb hanging on to him.

Would not shock me if Cease looks a lot like Kopech next year.

The further Cease gets away from 2022, the more his value drops. Trade him, Rick. Idiots.

I know.

Like now, before he loses his s%*#.

I know this might be unpopular, but I think Cease is what his ERA says he is outside of 2022. Also, he throws 94-95 now and no longer has plus velo in this day and age. I think WAR overrates Cease. He's basically Rich Harden if he stayed healthy. So if someone wants to trade a haul for him, be my guest.

No need to deny reality. I was wrong, take the L , move on.

You're right . Their reluctance to trade Cease is baffling. I don't understand. I understand if they're not ready to trade Robert yet but they should be discussing it next July.

I don't think Jerry has the patience for another rebuild. Anyone expecting anything other than 2014-16 level bullshit going forward is gonna be disappointed. Cease and Robert will get traded eventually. All I can ask is that they don't trade Montgomery, Schultz, Quero level guys.
