 Who is Frank though the most complete team at the American League? I'm gonna make you think about this one. This is a tough tough questions We have like three super teams in the American League this year But the one on the outside looking in right now that I'm starting to watch closely is a Cleveland Indians For some reason adding Josh Donaldson to the rest of that offensive mix along with that pitching staff They're gonna be a tough short for anyone in October So right now I'm looking at the Cleveland Indians as my complete team my sleeper to get to the World Series this year It hurts me to say this because I bleed blue, but I have to say unfortunately the Red Sox You know of all the great moves that Dave Dabrowski has made You have to think the number one best move has been Alex Cora in a market where Joel Tory in 2007 made seven point five million Alex Cora came in at $800,000 might be the best investment that the Red Sox have done in a very long time What he's done with that team is fantastic because you know talking to a lot of their Players he says this guy gives me confidence. He's a great communicator and he's also very diverse in the way we play We play the long game. We play the short game and he's very unpredictable like a poker player You don't know what's gonna be the next move for me They're dangerous in October and Alex Cora can be the X factor to take him to the championship I'm really shocked you to say that Houston Astros, but we know how dangerous the World Series champions are from last year But some reason I just can't pick them to go back to back Why it's just one of those things that in baseball you don't see too many teams go back to back Doesn't happen often they have the pitching to do it But right now I'm leaning towards the Cleveland Indians to sneak it to the World Series this year You know it's interesting when you think about the great teams I remember Pat Riley says we're gonna do it again next year with the Lakers, right? It's hard to repeat. This is hard, Frank And I know you were part of a championship team when a team wins a championship There's a small part of you that dies and what I mean by that is think about it Kevin ever since you were a little kid you first want to get a college scholarship Then you want to go to the major leagues then you want to make an all-star game then you want to win the World Series Well, that's That's the ultimate and when you reach that whether you like it or not There's a little bit of the edge that comes off I think the opposite is true when you have a big failure that you now want to have a chip on your shoulder Like you said about Donaldson that happened you guys in 09 because I'm looking at this Houston team and last year It was all about Altuve and Carrera Mm-hmm, and now it's we're talking about Bregman as the MVP of that club and a chance for league MVP So you're right about that I'm just I'm asking that question because I've seen teams they go separate ways after they win a championship It's really hard to keep that team together for a second second run I think I think we're pretty good But even if you have a 10 or 20% drop-off you cannot win in this league at 80% And what I mean by that is when you talk to the Houston Astros players, they're all great young players They have great attitudes Bregman is the epitome of he's got Pete Rose in the greatest way type makeup He loves the game. He's there at noon. He leaves at one in the morning. He's breathing in, you know 24-7 But at the end of the day are they thinking maybe a little bit more about social media following building out their brand now They're you know, it's different. Let me interject one other thing with the Astros. They're great They're talented. Certainly. They got a good chance as anybody we know that but they did something a little different That team is as good of a clubhouse. I would argue this has been in the last, you know, 15-20 years. They're so tight They're so together Well, they changed that dynamic a little bit, didn't they? You know, Jeff Luno the GM goes out and they get the kid from Toronto comes in there and Azuna who had You know the domestic abuse thing on him and he had to deal with that in the clubhouse It just seemed like a move that didn't necessarily fit and I'm curious if you think that has any effect or will have any Well, that's an interesting one because a lot of teams like the Dodgers to run other teams passed on this move and Jeff Luno has been really the gold standard of getting great players like Verlander with a plus makeup whether that's McCann Whether that's Carlos Beltran. This move was a little bit Kind of out of left field and again, they signed this young man and again I don't know much about his situation, but I do know they went like, you know, they lost, you know 10 out of 12 So again, you got to watch things like that because energy is so sensitive in a clubhouse You have 25 guys in one clubhouse You have good energy. You have to have a brotherhood and sometimes I know some players spoke out about it in a negative way So that's a great question under one of them, but yeah, well, I think it was a desperation move But they needed a closer. They had to have a closer They could not deal with jowls anymore as a closer. This kid is legitimate. You saw him in with Toronto I mean, he shut down a lot of great clubs Everyone deserves a second chance, but the bottom line is how's he gonna fit down the stretch with chemistry that close, right? And the thing is he hasn't really been their closer. I mean, he's been they've been shuffling around It'll be interesting to see how that plays out for these Astros me while guys great matchup Saturday on FS1 the Red Sox Hosting the Astros. I mean that obviously could be a preview of the ALCS Lee 30 Eastern on FS1. You can stream it live on the Fox Sports app too. Good stuff
