Guardians Earn Fair Grade Quarter Of The Way Through MLB Season

It seems like yesterday that the Cleveland Guardians officially reported to Goodyear, Arizona, to start spring training.

However, we're officially a quarter of the way through the season, and we know much more about this team than we did on Opening Day. However, some questions still need to be answered.

Mike Axisa and Matt Snyder of CBS Sports recently graded each team for the first 25 percent of the season. The duo of analysts gave the Guardians a fair grade of "B" for their performance so far.

Axisa and Snyder fairly pointed out that," Cleveland's rotation is the least imposing it has been in some time, and when you add in a defense that rates below average a quarter of the way into the season, you get a bottom-10 run prevention unit."

The Guardians' starter ERA is at 4.34, the fourth-highest in the American League.

Cleveland doesn't have the best lineup in baseball, but they've put up runs when needed.

Even though this roster still has some concerns and unknowns, the Guardians are winning, and you can't take anything away from that.

Heading into Monday's game, the Guardians had the second-best record in the league, only behind their division foe, the Detroit Tigers.
