If they're all evaluated based recent performance then I would think Zimmer is top dog, followed by Mercado and Johnson is the odd man out.I highly doubt that both Zimmer and Mercado survive the winter as Guardians, maybe neither. The same for Johnson.
Does the combination of Straw, HRam, and Naylor give you a warm fuzzy feeling? We'll be lucky to see Naylor start the season and reality suggests that he might not be able to run as well as he did prior to the injury. Not that he was a burner or anything.Zimmer, Mercado, Johnson or O. Gonzalez, Benson, Kwan? Who makes the 40? Probably only 2 or 3 make it with Straw, Harold, Naylor as locks.
Johnson has an option left, the other two don't, so they're playing for their 2022 spots as Guardians
Is none of the above an option?Zimmer, Mercado, Johnson or O. Gonzalez, Benson, Kwan? Who makes the 40? Probably only 2 or 3 make it with Straw, Harold, Naylor as locks.

Chang needs to get off the 40 man for starters. Better not lose a kid because of him.
There is no 60 day IL roster exemption after the World Series/ until spring training…Naylor would move back on to the 40 man roster.Naylor will stay on the 60 day dl meaning they don’t have to 40 man him. I do think he has long term potential.
im not sure Harold is a lock for the 40 either.
