Alright ladies! @CATS44 won in 21 and @LL3 by squeaking out the win over @TxBuckeye in 22! So onto the third season! I am hoping more people will participate!

How it works, essentially fill out the predictions and whomever is the closest at the end of the season wins the 25 dollar amazon gift card. Now this season the deadline for entry will be March 25th...

Edit: okay to clarify questions, each category is for leaders of the team. WAR will essentially be the total WAR stat from baseball reference at the end of the season. If you guys can think of maybe something to add, let me know!

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!

SB and OBP would be good adds for batting, those should both be pretty close/interesting and add more differentiators.

Boy that first one is bold since he hasn't been on an MLB roster since 2021 :chuckle:

Bold Guesses
In season player traded for- Look Below.
1st Bold Prediction -. Myles Straw, after spring training talk with Jose Ramirez about launch angles, explodes as a hitter. Myles uses his quick hands and sticktoitiveness to transform himself into an offensive monster! CDAV suffers a completely unrelated aneurysm but recovers quickly after a phone call from Myles Straw.
2nd Bold Prediction- Shane Bieber shocks Gs with trade demand. After his new wife realizes that a long-term deal means spending a 7 months a year in Cleveland, including into October most years, she issues Shane an ultimatum.
3rd Bold Prediction- ... So the Gs trade him to LA for Mike Trout and Shohei Otani! Sick of losing, and wanting to play in Cleveland in October, the two stars file a joint trade request to the Guardians. Baseball collectively shits itself. Paul Dolans suffers aneurysm after Antoinetti tells him what's still owed Trout and what Otani wants to re-sign. He recovers quickly after a phone call from Myles Straw

My favorite joke in this post is the Quantrill one, with Paul instead of Cal, and I'm only 80% sure it was intentional.
 
Being that I was ROBBED last year and the fact I didn't win was FAKE NEWS....

Lets try this again.

Pitching:

Wins...Bieber 19.
Losses...Plesac 10.
ERA SP...Bieber 2.75
ERA RP...Clase 1.47
Saves...Clase 42
Holds...Karinchak 30

Batting:

Ave...Kwan .322
OPS...Jose .949
OBP...Jose .392
SLG...Jose .557
Doubles...Jose 46
HR....Jose 37
RBI...Jose 136
SB...Straw 38
WAR...7.9
Team record 92-70

Bold guesses:

Player traded for....Laureano

1) Three Guardians with significant at bats (at least 300) will hit .300 or better.

2) Both Straw and Amed will still be starters at the end of the season.

3) The Guardians will clinch the division by Sept 20th.
 
Back to defend the crown...or at least the @sportscoach gift card as the case may be!!!

It has been a busy spring for me, but I am doing my best to keep, an eye on our team. Thanks so much to all the contributors, even as Myles Straw and Amed stay ever "topical".
