Bold predictions:
In season player traded for- IDK but they'll be a borderline top 50 prospect.
1. Guardians lead the league in stolen bases
2. Tyler Freeman ends up batting 2nd most days by June 15th
3. Detroit wins the division by 7+ games.

@sportscoach - Not that it really matters, but do we keep counting stats for players after trades? Or is it purely their Guardians stats (it should be IMO).

Let's just do Guardians stats!

Bold Guesses
In season player traded for - Not seeing too many specific names, so I'll say a right handed outfielder.
1st Bold Prediction - Carlos Carrasco anchors down a starting spot for the entire season and finishes with a sub-4.20 ERA.
2nd Bold Prediction - Ramirez, Josh Naylor, Kwan, McKenzie, and Clase are all-stars.
3rd Bold Prediction - Bo Naylor hits 26 home runs.
BONUS - Austin Hedges has a two home run game at some point this season.
 
Also this season for bold guesses they cannot be contradicting each other. One saying a player will be traded then the next the player not being traded. Pick one side of the coin!

Essentially the due date is the start of the season! The person with the best prediction wins a 25 dollar Amazon Gift card!

See quoted text for my prediction.

**Bonus Bold Prediction (that hopefully won't happen)- Neither of the Manzlaughter boys end up in the big show this year

ROLL TRIBE!

1. Guardians lead the league in stolen bases
Do we have any sense of the Vogt philosophy on the running game? I think we certainly have guys who can steal some bags and take some extra bases, but I am unsure on the Manager's perspective. I am hopeful he will make use of this asset!

I don't have any insight on Vogt's philosophy, but think the league as a whole will be running wild this year...

Here is a good one... Who will have more stolen bases?... Bo or Josh? I'll go with Bo!

Give me Josh in the Naylz on Wheels contest...he wants it more! :cool: I will say Josh/ 10 Bo 7
 
Josh, easy. That boy likes to steal!
So does Bo though (lovin' these rhymes today) - Fun fact, the most steals Josh has had in any season was 11SB and 4CS as a 19 year old in A ball back in 2016. Bo had 20SB and 4CS in 2022 across AA/AAA.

Josh went 10/3 in 495 PA last year and Bo went 5/0 in in 230PA.... Should be close!
