They're stuck with him through the rebuild at this point...not unlike Benintendi. Zero surplus value as he nears arbitration years.

Guardians' base running has been pretty bad this year compared to last. Anderson saved a run by stopping the ball from getting through.

Gordon Beckham? Now Benetti is using it for pitches and at bats too frequently.

Great another reason to criticize dumping SoxFest is provided by Stone and Benetti...

Was he ever good?

Jinx is on... he's been hitting quite a few key homers over the past 2-3 weeks.

A little Benetti goes a long way this season...

Up til this point, Torkelson.

We knew Burger was going to have his slumps...very streaky hitter. Robert still hitting at least. You can cancel the postgame show.

Minus a Naylor or Ramirez three run homer...

Well, JR is at least celebrating not paying Rodon and Abreu...just have to hack away another $75-100 million in payroll.

Or a 2B. Or a LFer that can hit at least 15-20 homers. Or a catcher internally developed.

Brennan barely avoiding getting sent down at the moment. Only because Oscar Gonzalez suffered same fate after being so good last year with RISP.

Hahn doesn't want to provide yet another reason to criticize him...but surely Clint Frazier will save the day.

Guardians basically a carbon copy of 2014-15 Royals' model.

It's going to severely punish any 1B who isn't an exceptional hitter and at least a solid defender.

83rd/90 MLB players 26 and under for fWAR...over 100 plate appearances.

Playing CF at GG level except for last year returning from injuries. Any position up the middle of the diamond... 3B and RF as well, to a lesser extent.

1:06 pace seems fair to fans suffering with both these offenses. Not so good for the concessions seller who rely on seasonal tips...

Benintendi fortunate he didn't play that into a double and an error...

Hopefully two hour game but that's unusual with Dylan typically throwing so many pitches.

Clang. Shaky.

Not the greatest of starts out of the gate. More youngsters making plays...Arias is/was normally a 3B, at least in the minors. Almost snuck out oppo.

Should be the highest on base guy, in theory...or #2. Like the Boston Red Sox version of Youkilis.
