2 Guardians players considered in Top 10 at their position

1 of 3

An updated list of the Top 10 players at each position appearing on Bleacher Report from Joel Reuter has two members of the Cleveland Guardians making an appearance. This is an updated list after two months of the season have been played with players being shuffled in an out of the Top 10 lists as necessary.

Jose Ramirez

The fact that Jose Ramirez appears in the list of best third basemen in the league is hardly surprising. Reuter has Ramirez checking in at number seven on his list, three spots lower than where he was ranked last month. It appears that Texas' Josh Jung, Tampa Bay's Isaac Paredes, and Washington's Jeimer Candelario played well enough to leapfrog Ramirez and the Cubs' Patrick Wisdom (previously third in this list).

Logan Allen

Guardians rookie Logan Allen finds himself at number 10 of Reuter's list of left-handed starting pitchers. It goes without saying, but Allen was not ranked last month and now finds himself among the best left-handed starters in the eyes of Reuter.

Allen was named "Top Rookie" for left-handed starting pitchers by Reuter and he added the following.

Injuries opened the door for Cleveland prospects Logan Allen and Tanner Bibee to reach the majors a bit earlier than expected, and both have impressed in the early going, Allen, 24, has a 2.72 ERA with 43 strikeouts in 39.2 innings since making his MLB debut at the end of April. Who will be the odd-man out with Triston McKenzie and Aaron Civale both on the mend?
Joel Reuter on Guardians pitching

Reuter has a good point here. Cleveland's pitching staff is getting healthier and with that some will find themselves in new roles. A potential odd-man out not named by Reuter is Cal Quantrill. Quantrill's last two outings have not gone well and a move to the bullpen seems like a natural move for the 28-year old righty.
