CLEVELAND, Ohio – As the shock wears off, here are my Guardians scribbles about the Andres Gimenez deal with Toronto. They also sent reliever Nick Sandlin to the Blue Jays:
1. Gimenez is the best defensive Cleveland second baseman I’ve ever seen, and that includes Robbie Alomar. I loved his all-around game. He stole 30 bases in each of the last two seasons. He can bunt. He is one of the best defensive players at any position in the Majors, according to several analytics sites.
