★ CLE wins #1 pick / MLB DRAFT ... a 2% chance ( oh, I FOUND PRE-ORNAMENT picks. )

You can’t win if you don’t score
The pitching has been great for years and they haven’t won the World Series.
The Rangers were in the top 3 in OPS,Slug, runs, RBI, Avg. They were 18th in ERA.Hitting wins more then pitching does
Tell that to those 90s Indians teams.

That was a different era. Starters back then were dominant. They are not even close to that now
It’s all about offense now and to some extent relief pitching.
A dominant starting pitcher, nowadays, is almost extinct. Drafting one first overall would be a mistake. IMO -

A dominant starting pitcher, nowadays, is almost extinct. Drafting one first overall would be a mistake. IMODo you really want to compare offense now to offense in the mid 90s - early 2000s?
I mean, feel free to, but you are going to lose that debate badly.
But from what I've seen, as of now, it seems more likely that the Gs would take a hitter from what is available in the upcoming draft. Of course, things can change during the coming college season, but it seems like a hitter heavy top of the draft.

The 90s INDIANS we as scary or more scary than the '29 Yanks -but- they did not have a true #1 starter. And repeatidly could not win game 1, a tough assignment in playoff baseball.
The recent INDIANS were just snakebit.

And we're actually talkin' baseball in December not just February or March of next year .....
...... is that cool or what ! Well virtually stealing the #1 pick in the MLB Draft will do that.
I'm still in shock after seeing that tiny Christmas ornament with the tiny 2% on it, oh yeah. ?

The pre drawing Cincinnati Reds. 0.9% almost pulled off a pretty big miracle, in fact at Pick #2 did OK.
But they didn't win the OH-IO. poll.

Holy shitballs, this is fantastic (potentially) news!
Holy shitballs, this is fantastic (potentially) news!
*Yes, the morale of this entire MLB 2024 Draft story ..... and the repercussions that might go on for this year and maybe for years (and trades) to come. With a clever FO and staff a team like the Cleveland GUARDIANS might do alright. Especially with an office and a chair for a recently retired manager that will just hang around in "an advisory capacity" just looking for something to do. Eh ? Catch my drift ?
And the next part, the (pontentially) fantastic news, putting it all together. Taking the good luck and the pieces and making it work ..... even better !
Take what happened already ......
*The Mets held the seventh-best odds in the 2024 lottery, the Padres 14th and the Yankees 15th, but the twist was they needed to win a top 6 pick in the lottery to avoid having their picks moved back 10 slots because they exceeded a certain luxury tax threshold. And since none of them had a ping-pong ball fall in their favor, they will now pick 19th (Mets), 24th (Padres) and 25th (Yankees).
▪︎ Full 2024 MLB Draft order ●--> featuring the *AL Central
★ 1. Cleveland Guardians ..... an incredible stroke of GOOD luck to start the 2024 season.
2. Cincinnati Reds ...... a great pick BUT still could not win the state of OH-IO .... lol.
3. Colorado Rockies <--> Rockies
4. Oakland Athletics
● 5. Chicago White Sox ..... not bad.
● 6. Kansas City Royals ...... not bad.
● 11. Detroit Tigers ...... still rebuilding.
● 21. Minnesota Twins ..... 20 picks behind Cleveland, and a lot of good picks will go by...... lol.▪︎ Keep on going for the original PRE-ORNAMENT Guardians at 2% long shot chance to #1, right.
An incredi-bull piece of golden good luck for Cleveland.
Like the '83 NFL QB Draft ? Why not.

And one more fine piece of this 2024 Draft puzzle, the original to final draft positions.
1. Oakland Athletics (18.3%) → ★ Guardians
2. Kansas City Royals (18.3%) → Reds
3. Colorado Rockies (18.3%) → Rockies
4. Chicago White Sox (14.7%) → Athletics, moved from 1 to 4. Not huge moves except for CLE and MIN (the ALC loser.)
5. St. Louis Cardinals (8.3%) → ▪︎ White Sox, moved from 4 to 5
6. Los Angeles Angels (6.1%) → ▪︎ Royals, moved from 2 to 6. DET ended up at 11, not a huge deal.
7. The Washington Nationals -
