Amed Rosario presents a difficult decision for the Guardians this offseason. He’s not an elite player by any means, but he’s an elite Dude in the clubhouse at a premium position that the Guardians are loaded at in the minors. As dead-on average as a player can be, but with enough sway in the clubhouse that it wasn’t worth disrupting it to trade him at the deadline.
Listening to players talk about him it’s clear he set the table for the team emotionally and physically, even if he didn’t always get it done at the plate. He was the guy leading the charge for this scrappy bunch of young players to be aggressive on the bases and he’s always one of their loudest cheerleaders in the dugout.
