I kind of thought the teams were mirror images of each other. The three most destructive players for the Guardians were Kwan, Rocchio and Lane Thomas. Rocchio is a Jake Rogers type hitter who hit .500 in the series. Kwan is a really good player but not .600 BA good. Lane Thomas was their deadline addition, but he is a Matt Vierling type hitter. That's baseball, seeing eye singles are better than line drives sometimes. Cleveland is better but not by much, too many Ks by the Tiger hitters.
They signed or acquired 4 pricey players last year. They will have to do some trades and a couple free agents additions. If I were to guess 1 starter, 1 reliever and a third baseman. Their outfield is good, the infield got better when Baez went out and Sweeney went in. But they need a good right handed hitter who has power but is not a dead pull hitter and 3rd base is the obvious position.
