Back-to-back AL Central titles, but the Guardians barely did anything this offseason and the offense ranked 28th in runs per game last year. Emmanuel Clase is gone. Rhys Hoskins was a late add for right-handed thump. And beyond Steven Kwan and José Ramírez, there's a lot of question marks with the linup. Chase DeLauter is the prospect everyone's watching, but he hasn't been able to stay healthy. Travis Bazzana is lurking but has had his health issues as well.

We break down the crowded outfield competition, the six-starters-for-five-spots rotation battle between Gavin Williams, Tanner Bibee, Logan Allen, Joey Cantillo, Parker Messick, and Slade Cecconi, and whether Cleveland's "trust the pitching and let the kids figure it out" strategy can hold up for a third straight year.
