Monday, May 6, 2024 • Duration 42:01

The Guardians are finally calling up Kyle Manzardo, but it comes at the expense of Steven Kwan.

But, what does Kyle Manzardo bring to the Guardians? What does he do well and what should we expect from his skill set and tools?

I dive into that, discuss the return of George Valera, as well as another injury to Chase DeLauter.

Also get into observations on Trenton Denholm, CJ Kayfus, and Alex Mooney from my latest trip to Lake County.

I also cover Matt Wilkinson and Alex Clemmey in Lynchburg, as well as what to look for on the ACL Guardians club.

And finally, I talked about why I like the day two college pitching in the 2024 MLB Draft.
