How the Cleveland Guardians might be able to convince Steven Kwan to sign a contract extension.

Steven Kwan is most likely going to sign with the San Francisco Giants when his six years are over in Cleveland. There is a way that might convince Steven Kwan to stay in Cleveland. The Guardians should spend a million or two dollars now, and invite Steven Kwan's extended family, to Cleveland, and purchase a few homes on behalf of Kwan's Relatives. It's truly a no brainer. If Kwan signs an extension, it will be anywhere from 50 million to 150 million depending on when the offer is made. If the Guardians offer Kwan a contract now, with Kwan still under control for 2 and 1/2 years, the offer can still be generous, and affordable.

However, if Kwan's relatives would ok with Moving to Cleveland, having the Kwan clan pick where they want to live in or around Cleveland, and the Guardians footing the bill now, could prove beneficial to both the Guardians, and Kwan, later.

The perfect MLB lead off hitter statistically revealed for the early part of 2025, Lars Nootbaar.

MLB highlights a record lead off hitter's first inning walks. A lead off hitter who can achieve a plus .100 OBP above their batting average is ideal for a lead off hitter. Lars Nootbaar has a .263 Batting Average, and a .402 OBP as of April 26, 2025. The differential between batting average and OBP is .139 points, .100 points higher, or higher, is ideal for a lead off hitter.

My Super Bowl 59 Prediction between Kansas City and Philadelphia.

I think Philadelphia is going to demolish Kansas City by a score of 41-29, the final score will not representative of how dominant Philly will be, because Pat Mahomes is such a great Quarterback.

Ichiro Suzuki elected to the MLB Hall of Fame, one vote short of a unanimous vote and why that is appropriate.

Ichiro Suzuki was truly one of a kind. Super fast, excellent defender, hit over .300, and never GIDP'd more than 11 times in a season, averaging 6 GIDP's, about half the league average, and 30 stolen bases per 162 games for his entire career.

If Ken Griffey Junior had stayed in Seattle with Ichiro, Griffey might have broken the home run record if he had followed's Ichiro's stretching regimen.

But, there is a but. Ichiro never truly fit in as either a lead off hitter, or hitting second. When a lead off hitter does not walk enough, but hits over .300, it is a waste to lead off that batter, because a walk is as good as a single when leading off a game.

But if Ichiro hit second, his running swing worked great for getting infield hits, but could result in forcing out the lead runner if there was a runner already on first base.

Hitting third hinders Ichiro's stolen base totals and his below average extra base hit totals would not work in the 3 spot. So there it is, why falling one vote short was the right thing to have happen.
