2K24: Cleveland Guardians

[DMT]

Nomar has cooled off but won Rookie awards for April and May so I think he's still in the lead, with Fullmer 2nd.

Clearly moving towards the inevitable:

"The Indians delivered yet another round of bad news about Brantley and his surgically repaired shoulder. The team announced he was examined for "a recurrence of right shoulder symptoms while progressing through hitting activities late last week," and president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti confirmed surgery is a possibility."

And finally, the inevitable:
Brantley needs shoulder surgery and will miss the remainder of the season.

Brantley, Peralta, Puig and Gomez were 4/5 of my OF. Yep, I dumped early.

Another devastating injury for the Tribe as Carlos Carrasco breaks his hand today.

So what's the story with Michael Brantley? He's playing everyday, just hit a HR, says he's feeling great -- is he going to start the year with the team, or do an extended spring training?

I am here at spring training and he sure looks healthy to me if I wouldn't know any difference he looks just like one of the guys . Out on the field no special treatment - no kid gloves . One more game to see today vs the Cubs - if he is in the lineup tonight I would say full steam ahead.

Danny Salazar demoted to the bullpen.

Bauer gets his start shortened by rain, then gets moved up in the rotation, so he goes @COL instead of against the White Sox. I had a feeling this was going to happen, too, but I left him in my lineup anyway because nobody reported that it was a possibility.

Sooooooo...Carlos Santana just isn't good at baseball anymore, or....?

I keep thinking this too. But he is on pace for aroun 20 hr, 90 rbi and 90 runs. His average is horrible though.

i CAN'T STAND THIS BUM.

Have Bour coming off the DL and, while I can't believe it, almost three months is enough to see that Carlos Santana inexplicably sucks at baseball this year. So I'm actually thinking of dropping him for Bour. Thanks for nothing, Carlos...

The odds say that would be irrational. Who else can you drop?

Sadly, no one really. He's the only glaring black hole in my lineup providing help in zero categories aside from MAYBE runs, where I have a giant lead. Shit power, AVG, OBP; meh, RBI...I have Maybin and Mallex Smith but need them both for SB. And Bour plays his same spot (1B/CI) and has just crushed Carlos so far.
