Things have not gone well for the Cleveland Guardians as of late, and they are running out of time to get back on the right track. This is a team that has proven throughout this season that they are capable of playing much better than what they have shown over the past couple of weeks. In order to get back to that level, there are a handful of decisions they can make to help their chances and put the best possible group of players on the field together.
1. End the Anthony Gose experiment
Anthony Gose may have only made two appearances on the year, but the Guardians' fascination with him continues to be incredibly puzzling. Gose continues to get let go and brought back into the fold on a routine basis and for reasons that are impossible to comprehend. The former outfielder turned reliever has not proven to be anything remarkable in the major leagues and is probably best suited as a minor league arm or a relief arm on a non-competitive team. With the Guardians looking to make a postseason push, they need to be a little more serious about who they choose to have in their bullpen mix. Cleveland has decided to designate Gose for assignment (again), but now is the time to bring the position conversion experiment with him to an overdue end.
