4 and 5. Call up Kyle Manzardo and George Valera

This is something that has needed to be done for quite some time, and if this does sound familiar, yes, this was previously covered but it is worth reinforcing yet again with how things continue to play out. The longer the Cleveland Guardians wait to bring two players who could and should be able to help make up for the lack of production from other players on their roster remains a mystery. Kyle Manzardo and George Valera should have gotten the call a long time ago but have been relegated to playing in Triple-A Columbus.

There is also another aspect to this suggestion. Cleveland needs to find out what they have in both Manzardo and Valera, a task that can only be accomplished by having them in the majors. Letting them continue to rot in the minors is not only a disservice to them but to the others on the big league roster who know they are in need of help at this time.

At this point, it really comes down to trying something else than what they have been trying, because what they have been going with is not working well enough. Giving Manzardo and Valera the shots they have earned seems like a very easy decision for this front office to make.
