Locked On Guardians - Daily Podcast On The Cleveland Guardians

The Cleveland Guardians injury report gets a little bigger with Sam Hentges' shoulder inflammation making him "week to week" at the moment. What is the level of concern for Hentges and the Guardians bullpen as a whole, with injuries to Cody Morris, Enyel De Los Santos, and Nick Sandlin already dealing with other injuries?

George Valera joined the injury report with soreness in his right wrist where he had hamate surgery in December, his second surgery for that. What is the level of concern for Valera for 2023 and long term? What is the concern for the team's outfield depth?

Roman Quinn is the talk of the Guardian's spring training camp lately. Can he break camp with the team? Should he? Where does he fit on the Guardians roster and who would be hurt by that decision?

The Cleveland Guardians played their first two spring training games of the 2023 season. If you're looking for overreactions to those first two games, well, you will just have to listen to find out. We cover James Karinchak's first pitch clock violation and why it wasn't a big deal, Zach Plesac's first start, and which prospects played and made the most of their opportunities. We also touched on why the Guardians might be uniquely suited to be prepared for the rule changes.

1. Steven Kwan mentioned to Zack Meisel of The Athletic that he would be open to extension talks with the Cleveland Guardians. What would a Kwan extension look like? What does Cleveland and Kwan need to consider when weighing extension vs. arbitration?

2. MLB released its top 100 players right now. How many Cleveland Guardians landed in the top 100? Where did they land? And where will they appear on this list a year from now?

3. Eno Sarris of The Athletic put out an interesting projection list for MLB pitchers in 2023. Where did the Guardians pitchers fall on his list and how do his projections work?

4. On YouTube only, we debate MLB saying they will "crack down" on stick stuff for pitchers...again. We give a quick update on the upcoming Locked On Guardians fantasy baseball league and what we are watching for this weekend in Guardians spring training games that are finally happening!

1. Finally, an episode where we have no new injuries to update on! And Bryan Shaw is back, but not with the Guardians.

2. In light of the injuries to Daniel Espino and Cody Morris, we debate whether or not shifting an oft-injured pitcher to the bullpen actually keeps them healthy and if there are any examples of that.

3. We run through some "what if" type scenarios for the Cleveland Guardians 2023 season. We go through what has to happen for the Guardians to repeat or build on their success from 2022, and go further. And, what could prevent them from falling short of those goals?

4. The fallout from Espnio's injury on prospect lists, and how to handle the pickoff rule in a strategic way.

5. On the YouTube only portion, we talk about our favorite baseball sounds, the Akron RubberDucks promo schedule, who should be on a potential Guardians jersey sponsor patch, and the Rule 5 situation with Noah Song in Philadelphia.

1. The Cleveland Guardians spring training injury bug takes a bite out of Terry Francona. We discuss that and quickly touch on Myles Straw's seemingly mild ailment out of the gate.

2. What are the spring training storylines for the Cleveland Guardians? Breaking in a new starting catcher in Mike Zunino, finding a backup catcher, building their bench, finding who the eighth reliever will be, and adjusting to the new rules. We break all of those down in today's episode as spring training games are on the horizon.

3. Very quickly, we want to know if Locked On Guardians listeners are interested in a fantasy baseball league with us and if we should create one for the podcast and all of you. Let us know.

4. On YouTube only, we discuss the possible beginning of the Jaison Chourio hype train, why Cleveland seems to be interested in a multi-inning reliever, a Cleveland legend coaching for another team, the Lake County Captains fun promo nights, and a fun Akron Zips baseball player having a good start to the college season.

1. Try to panic, but more Cleveland Guardians prospects are in the news with injuries - Daniel Espino's shoulder is giving him problems, as is 2022 1st round pick Chase DeLauter's foot is as well. We talk about trying to stay measured about these injuries until we know more.

2. Cleveland has taken some risks with their draft picks in recent years with Espino, DeLauter and others. We talk about the Guardians approach to the draft and these injuries, and how things have played out for those picks.

3. A beloved Cleveland baseball player, Jason Kipnis, officially retired on Monday. We talk about his history and Cleveland how we will remember his time here fondly.

4. In the aftershow on YouTube, we discuss Tyler Freeman joining Gabriel Arias getting some outfield reps, who will start the first four spring training games for the Guardians on the mound, Steve Cohen not being bothered by the "Cohen Tax" or the Economic Reform Committee, and the best baseball comeback of all time - hint, it is a baseball game involving Cleveland.
