MLB Draft Update -1.1 Race Heats up & 3B Position Preview: How Many Great Years Remain for Jose?

It was a big weekend in college baseball with Travis Bazzana and Charlie Condon making headlines with big games. After not being able to get to it Monday, we give a college baseball/MLB Draft weekend update on the battle for the Guardians top pick as conference play begins.     We also discuss some other good performances over the weekend including Corey Collins, Luke Holman, Kavares Tears, and Brian Holiday. We also get into some more interesting Jac Cagliaone data.   And we put our 3rd base position preview for the Guardians into the second half of this episode, because what more can we say about Jose Ramirez other than he's great and how many more great years does he have left? We debate that, talk about the lack of third-base prospects in the system and some potential draft prospects at that position as well.     Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!   Amazon Fire TV Fire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

Myles Straw on Waivers and What Comes Next as Guardians Set 2024 Opening Day Roster

Myles Straw was reportedly placed on waivers by the Cleveland Guardians as they set their initial 26 man roster to start the 2024 season. How did the Guardians arrive at this move now and what it mean for Straw and other players like Tyler Freeman and Estevan Florial. Also, is the influence in the clubhouse as much as we previously thought?   We also get to why neither Kyle Manzardo and Deyvison De Los Santos didn't make the initial roster.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!   Amazon Fire TV Fire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

Impacts of Recent Guardians Roster Decisions and Decision Day on Some Roster Spots Coming Soon

Opening Day is just a week away. And while we say it's sort of an artificial deadline, it does have some effect on roster decisions leading up to the announcement of the Opening Day roster.   Birthday boy today, Carlos Carrasco, has an opt out in his contract for this weekend and Tyler Beede is able to opt out if he's told he's not on the Opening Day roster. What will the decision be for those two arms with Cleveland's current injury situation?   We also discuss not overhyping spring training performances and taking stats too seriously, and that includes everyone's prospect fixation, Chase DeLauter.   Also discussed is the Twins recent pitching injury news, Guardians minor league injury news, and some recent cuts from the minor league roster in Cleveland's system of significance.         FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.

Which Guardians Bullpen Options Are in Question and Which Could Be Emerging?

While we're waiting on the news about Sam Hentges' finger, we wonder if his Opening Day status will also be in doubt, and we also talk about why Opening Day isn't a real deadline, and the sky isn't falling yet.   In that same vein, we also talk about a Guardians relief prospect that could be emerging quicker than we previously thought.   Shane Bieber went 5.2 innings in this latest outing, and with that timing, does it look like we are getting closer to Stephen Vogt naming him the opening day starter.   We also talk about the lack of promotion about the Guardians spring breakout game over the weekend, and a brief college baseball/MLB Draft weekend update.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!   Ibotta Right now, Ibotta is offering our listeners $5 for just trying Ibotta by using code LOCKEDONMLB.

How Will the Guardians Navigate the Sudden Rash of Long and Short Term Pitching Injuries?

The Cleveland Guardians got some rough pitching injury news on Thursday, losing Trevor Stephan for the 2024 season with elbow surgery, as well as another lost year for Daniel Espino, as he underwent a second shoulder surgery. Gavin Williams and Sam Hentges appear to have short-term injuries, and James Karinchak is stuck between short and long-term injury status. How will the Guardians replace Stephan in the bullpen and how much impact does it have on the Guardians playoff chances? Are we more concerned about Williams' elbow? Who will fill in for him in the short term? What should we expect out of Espino when he returns? We also discuss the Justin Campbell situation briefly. And what to watch for in baseball this weekend - NOT the Guardians prospect breakout game, but college baseball.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!   Robinhood Robinhood has the only IRA that gives you a 3% boost on every dollar you contribute when you subscribe to Robinhood Gold.

2024 Cleveland Guardians Position Preview: The Fab 5 Starting Pitchers & Where's the Depth?

We're rolling through our 2024 Cleveland Guardians position preview series, discussing the Guardians starting rotation. Will the Fab 5 make the majority of starts in 2024? Will Shane Bieber and Triston McKenzie stay healthy? Will Bieber finish 2024 in Cleveland? We also look at the standout sophomores of Tanner Bibee, Gavin Williams and Logan Allen, to see if they'll take a step forward in 2024, or succumb to the sophomore slump. Below that, we take a look at the depth options for the rotation which are...tough to imagine. And of course, we dig into the pitching prospects in the system, while not as deep and exciting as years past, but has pitchers we like, such as Ryan Webb and Ross Carver. We bring you some more Guardians pitching prospects deep in the minors and of course, we make time to talk about some of our favorite MLB draft targets for the Guardians among this year's pitching class.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Stephen Vogt claims he's not beholden to the shortstop battle being two players. So if it won't be Gabriel Arias and Brayan Roccio, who could slide at SS?

The hottest rumor of the day for the Cleveland Guardians is that top prospect Chase DeLauter has a chance to make the Guardians out to start the year. We dig into how often a player with his experience level makes the majors as well as explaining why even if he doesn't start the year with Cleveland. He could be an exciting addition in the near future.   We also dig into the struggles of Estevan Florial addressing why it is he is likely to make the team no matter what he does in spring training.     We reach out to the listeners for what they love or hate about spring training.

Is Caglianone the Top Lefty Pitcher in this Years Class? Can he Challenge Bazzana for the Top Spot?

After an interesting weekend of college baseball, we dig into some of the top performs like Travis Bazzanna of Oregon State, Jonathan Santucci of Duke,  Hagen Smith of Arkansas, Jac Caglianone of Florida, Chase Burns of Wake Forest, and Ohio boy Riley Huge of Winthrop. I have several hot takes. The big one focused on how impressed I was after watching Jac Caglianone pitch in particular.     We get into the debate of Charlie Condon of Georgia vs. Nick Kurtz of Wake Forest. And why it is becoming Condon ahead of Kurtz to many.   We also get into the Guardians potential bench brigade, and show there is a limited number of spots left, and how the shortstop position will have a big effect on the bench, and who makes this team. Could there be another rookie of the year candidate than Manzardo for Cleveland this year?     Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Who Will Step Up in the Pen for the Guardians With Spring Injuries to Stephan, Karinchak?

Trevor Stephan is shut down for three weeks with a deep bone bruise in his elbow, in addition to James Karinchak's shoulder fatigue keeping him out. Neither reliever seems likely to be ready for Opening Day. Who will fill in the open spots in the bullpen in the wake of the injuries and who will step up? We go over the options and who is most likely to emerge in the short term and long term. We also discuss the Guaridans' adjusted approach to try to hit for more power and if it will work. And with Tyler Freeman playing some centerfield, we look at how that option could change the composition of the roster and who will man the outfield spots.     Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!   eBay Motors With all the parts you need at the prices you want, it’s easy to turn your car into the MVP and bring home that win.

2024 Guardians Position Preview: What Kind of Leap Will Bo Naylor Take in Year 2 at Catcher

Spring training is in full swing, so we're starting our 2024 position previews and starting at catcher. We discuss how big of a leap Bo Naylor can take in year 2, and if he's the most exciting young player on this roster. We also debate if the time to extend him is now, and how much that would cost. What is Austin Hedges' role, how much should he play, and where does David Fry fit? We also get to talk about the future of Ralphy Velazquez and if he'll stick catcher, and other catchers in the system. At the end, we throw out some catcher names in the draft as well.     Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!   eBay Motors With all the parts you need at the prices you want, it’s easy to turn your car into the MVP and bring home that win.

Early Guardians Spring Training Buzz and Hagen Smith and Travis Bazzana Have Huge Weekends

The Guardians are finally playing actual baseball games in 2024, even if they are exhibition games. We quickly went over a few things that were notable from the opening weekend of spring training for the Guardians. We also talk about the impact of the George Valera injury and why it puts him and the Guardians in a tough spot regarding his future.   Stephen Vogt has mentioned Joey Cantillo by name twice already this spring and we get into what he said about the young left-handed prospect.   We also dig deep into a big weekend in college baseball, talking about Hagen Smith's meteoric performance and if that puts him into the 1.1 conversation, along with Travis Bazzana's big weekend, and other notable performances to take note of.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!   Backblaze Receive a fully-featured no risk free trial at Backblaze.com/lockedonmlb.

Should Jose Hit Second? Who Should Hit Leadoff? Should We Even Talk About Spring Training Lineups?

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt talked about where Jose Ramirez might fit best in the young lineup this year, leaving it open if he could hit second or where he might be most comfortable. So we get into where he should hit in the lineup and end up throwing out some off-the-wall ideas about who should actually hit leadoff to start the year. Before that, we also get into if the 2024 draft class is being unfairly compared to last year's potentially historically good class and why the 2024 class still looks better than some drafts within the last decade. And we wrap up by trying to make sense of the Royals most recent trade and if their pitching staff actually is going to make them division "contenders' in a division where almost anyone could and should be a contender to win.
