Your 2018 Cleveland Indians

[Urban]

Wasn't mentioned in here, but Chris Sale was placed on the 10 day DL yesterday with shoulder inflammation. I'd say Verlander is probably still favored for the Cy Young over Bauer despite Bauer having a higher WAR, but Bauer has a very very legitimate shot at it.

Bauer could totally catch Verlander in the areas in which it matters most. Sale is primed for his scheduled second-half meltdown. Fuck that guy.

Since I don’t trust the writers to extend beyond conventional stats...

Bauer and Verlander have the same record

Bauer has more K’s

Verlander has a better ERA by .1


Cy Bauer

With no additional moves here’s my guess...

Lineup
C: Gomes (Perez when Bauer pitches)
1B: Alonso
2B: Kipnis
SS: Lindor
3B: Ramirez
LF: Brantley
CF: Martin (Davis v. LHP)
RF: Cabrera (Guyer v. LHP)
DH: Encarnacion

Bench
C: Perez, IF: Diaz, IF: Gonzalez, OF: Davis, OF: Guyer

Rotation
Bauer, Kluber, Carrasco, Clevinger

Bullpen
Allen, Hand, Miller, Cimber, Perez, Ramirez, Bieber

G. Allen, Otero, McAllister, Tomlin, Naquin, Chisenhall all left off/injured. I would imagine if Naquin or Chisenhall get healthy, they’d replace Melky in the SL and kick Yandy off the roster.

Still feels like adding an everyday RF in August is very much on the table.

If everyone is healthy, that pitching & bullpen is pretty ridiculous. Hopefully, our bats dont go cold again. IMO, the staff is deeper than in years past.

Having a healthy Brantley atleast gives us another shot at getting on base while also giving us an ok OF. Hopefully Guyer continues to do his thing & hopefully Martin surprises us.

If I'm the Indians, I'm definitely contacting Shawn Kelley's agent

Tied for lead in HRs
Tied for lead in SBs

He's sniffing that MVP.

I agree and if the wheels come off totally for the Nationals, there are a few good players to try and get for the remainder of the season.

What the fuck does this mean? Non-baseball condition?

Tito called it "intestinal turmoil". People will make jokes but it doesn't sound good if he has to go on the DL for it.

Wait, did he shit his way to the DL?

 

[Urban]

Antonetti said he's out at least 10 days, maybe longer. Sounds pretty serious

Sounds like Martin good miss "weeks". Just a bad year with all of the injuries to the outfielders. Can't count on Lonnie to stay healthy even if he makes it back.
Not overly impressed by anyone on this list. Still holding on to the hope of Cutch.

Wonder what's going on with Martin...

Maybe something like diverticulitis or ulcerative colitis?
