I present to the listening public my ideal Cleveland Guardians lineup based on players who could be potentially in the running still. I defend Steven Kwan hitting fifth in my lineup, go through each position explaining what else could occur, and defend why I made the choices I made. I also explain the value of Bradley Zimmer, while also explaining why I would prefer for him to be traded to another organization due to his perceived value in Cleveland against what I hear when I talk to others connected to teams or who write about the game. 

We talk about the 40 man mess and the newest injuries that have occurred. With the moving of Cody Morris to the 60-day disabled list, there is no one for the Guardians to move around the next injury addition will mean a cut has to occur. We talk about the injuries to Luke Maile, James Karinchak, and others. We talk about the Teres Major, the muscle that is the Guardians' bane. We also get into why inactivity is not an option and why the Guardians need to be more like the Rays right now. 

We look at payroll, there is different data on the payroll at every single site. We use the Fangraphs one which seems to have the best data. The Guardians rank an embarrassing 29 out of 30 teams, we get into why I think it is they ended up not spending at all in free agency. We also talk about what the hold-ups could be on any big moves for the organization. I also own up that I was wrong to preach patience as the season is drawing near and it is clear that this team is what it is.
