We were 1 game behind them until our top 3 SP went down with injuries. As things stand now, I don't see Cleveland on the same level offensively, but I think we can pitch with them and might even have a slight advantage when all things are considered. Especially when we have the youngest starting staff in baseball with quality depth piling up fast. I also think that any of Morris, Battenfield, Pilkington, Cantillo, or Burns could bust onto the scene and make an impact at some point next season.CDAV; Generally in line with your comments except that Chicago weathered two significant injuries for 4 months (Jimenez and Robert) yet still remained comfortably ahead of the Tribe. I just don’t see the Indians on the same level as the Chisox this season even if Bieber and Civale were healthy.
I've mentioned this before, but I can't help but wonder if Bieber, Civale, and Plesac hadn't went down with injury would they have approached the deadline differently? Would they have pulled of a trade for a corner OF bat?
Irregardless of what may or may not have happened, I feel very confident that this will be a great offseason for us Guardian fans and this lineup will be vastly improved in 22.
