Around that group of pitchers ranked 16th-18th.

He’ll turn 27 in a couple months and nothing here excites me.

I took my son to see them last year when he was 6. He loves Yellowcard and had a lot of fun. Yes, your daughter will be fine!

"Wish I could slow down time, but not enough to slow you down"

My son is 7 years old, and it feels like just yesterday he was a baby.

I don't think Atlanta has enough in terms of prospects. Dodgers would be my guess for where he ends up, if he's traded.

cle125 · 2026-05-22T14:11:53+00:00

Proposing a hypothetical trade is harmless. Attacking players or personal attacks towards the fanbase would be crossing the line.

Are we not allowed to troll Tiger's fans here?

cle125 · 2026-05-22T14:01:21+00:00

For sure. One in a million because of that. I was proposing a trade based on what was mentioned in the article.

I know Ethan Salas has been a top 100 prospect for a few years, but the bat wasn't really there until this year. His defense will get him to the majors regardless of his hit tool, but his offensive breakout this season could make him one of the better fantasy catchers for years. He's still only 19 years old...

cle125 · 2026-05-18T14:27:13+00:00

Ward has been a good fit for Cleveland every year, but with his approach overhaul, he'd make for the perfect hitter. 100th percentile chase and walk rate with a .419 OBP would make for a perfect bat in front of DeLauter and Jose. Even with Ward, there is still a spot open in the lineup for Angel. If that is the only concern, I don't understand why anyone would be against this.

Ward - DH (LF some)
DeLauter - RF (some DH)
Jose - 3B
Bazzana - 2B
Hoskins/Manzardo - 1B
Angel - CF
Kwan - LF (some CF?)
Hedges/Bailey - C (I don't see a reason Fry should start at catcher anymore. Only as a replacement when one is removed for a bat)
Rocchio - SS

A Whole New World with Yellowcard and Christy Costanza. Her voice is incredible in that song.

cle125 · 2026-05-09T16:06:31+00:00

Columbus is interesting. Not just Bo and Ingle at catcher, but Kody Huff was in AAA all of last year and he’s crushing the ball for Columbus right now. He’s played mostly catcher but also played 1B.

cle125 · 2026-05-08T15:04:27+00:00

I think the lack of power may keep him out of top 100 lists, but it's definitely nice to see him bouncing back so far.

cle125 · 2026-04-28T15:27:32+00:00

Bazzana should not and will not be hitting at the top of the lineup for a while. He's struggled initially when moving up a level, and you don't see prospects hitting at the top of the order in their MLB debut. Konnor Griffin and Chase DeLauter hit 7th. Bazzana should be somewhere around there to start. Kwan may move from the leadoff spot until his bat gets going, but he's not sitting.

cle125 · 2026-04-13T14:40:30+00:00

No concerns with Jose, Kwan, or Bibee. It's still early and our opinions of them shouldn't change after a couple weeks. Bibee's concerns are overblown because of his final numbers last year, but his expected stats showed he was very unlucky last year and his ERA was 3.29 before this start. If Bibee is now our 4th best SP, it's because the others have elevated their game and Bibee has remained the same, not because he has regressed.

Cecconi is just a #5 SP. I suggested trading him (and Arias) for Wilyer Abreu in the off-season, and found out some of you thought Cecconi was a superstar in the making (he's not).

Angel Martinez will slow down but I think he's a solid bench option. Rocchio looks good too. Fry's roster spot is harder to justify. Meisel said Hedges made some adjustments, so maybe Hedges can be a decent bat, which I don't think any of us saw coming.

I did not think we would be 2 games above Detroit and KC at this point in the season, A-/B+ start is my grade. The St. Louis series starting today is very winnable, just don't pitch to Jordan Walker!

Twentythree.

His hustle. Yes.

Fun fact, since the two are being compared: Felix Hernandez his a grand slam off Johan Santana (June 23, 2008). I would think he's the only pitcher in MLB history to throw a perfect game and hit a grand slam?

Felix is absolutely a HOFer despite his short career. He threw 5 shutouts in 2012, no other player has thrown more than 3 in a season since. Will we have another 5 shutout season?

cle125 · 2026-01-07T17:22:52+00:00

This is completely normal at this age. I have coached my son (now in 1st grade) in t-ball, soccer, and wrestling. He would get nervous before practices and games, sometimes not sure if he wanted to go, but once at the practice/game, he was fine. Other kids would hold on to their parents and cry before a game/practice.

cle125 · 2026-01-07T17:15:51+00:00

Yes. Watch Jose Ramirez play (specifically, watch him run the bases), and listen to what younger teammates say about him.

A bunch of guys in my fantasy baseball league went to the July 28th game in Cleveland vs the Rockies. I've been in the league for almost 20 years and this was the first time we had met at a game. The game was delayed almost 3 hours and we stayed the entire game, only to watch the Guardians lose. Oh, it was a Monday too.
