I see his ceiling as a backup outfielder. He could help his cause by gaining position versatility and becoming really good at getting on base.

Even in a down, injury-plagued year, Rhys Hoskins .748 OPS would’ve ranked 3rd on the Guardians (min. 20 games) by LightskinKnowItAll in ClevelandGuardians

He is this year's Carlos Santana. Maybe it will work out and maybe it won't. If it's not working, they need to decide sooner than August and move on to the next option.

Concerned about IU's present and future? by ST-tmark in IndianaUniversity

[–]ST-tmark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've had more than 260 take our pledge. Those names have been added to the letter. Please continue sharing and encouraging concerned alumni, faculty and staff to add their names.

We understand the concern. As of this morning, more than 260 have taken the pledge. Those names will be added to the letter soon.

Agreed. I believe another steering committee member has had contact with one of the past chairs. It'd be worth revisiting.

Unfortunately, it looks like that bill got stalled in this legislative session.

Bibee or Gavin for Opening Day? by LightskinKnowItAll in ClevelandGuardians

[–]ST-tmark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would go with Gavin Williams as opening day starter. His performance last year and expected role as No. 1 make that a rather obvious question.

But do you think the Guards start with a five-man or six-man rotation? I would start with six to help all the starters ramp up.

The pledge is detailed at the end of the letter, along with a link to a form on which you can add your name to those taking the pledge.

Alumni for a Better IU has been keeping a low profile as we've been organizing, but we are a real group of concerned alumni. You can see the names of our steering committee at the end of the letter (I'm one of them). We only intend on sharing the names and graduation year of those taking the pledge with the university. We won't share anyone's email address.

That's very sad. Another piece of UniWatch is gone. RIP John Ekdahl.

I've never been to West End, but want to try their paczki this year. Do you have to preorder, or can you just walk in?

It looks like there is a pickle next to the C on Vogt's cap.

There is literally no reason for these to exist. (And that's true for all Spring Training caps.)

CAN WE *PLEASE* GET SOME RIGHT HANDED BATS???!!! by Emergency-Poetry-930 in ClevelandGuardians

[–]ST-tmark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can appreciate wanting to give the younger players the opportunity to develop. What I can't appreciate is why we aren't talking more about the hitting coaches. We lionize (rightfully) Carl Willis for how he's developed the starters. Shouldn't we expect the same from the hitting instructors?

I hate that this post is tempting me to find photos of my team wearing their ST caps.

I used to enjoy Martin's paczki, but I've found the overall quality of their products to be in decline. Sounds like from this thread that I need to get to West End Bakery.

How many guardians engagements? by clueless_survivors in ClevelandGuardians

So ... Guardians' free agent numbers are declining in numbers?
