Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top 50 Cleveland Guardians.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Cleveland had a great year, making the playoffs, and showing that they have a roster that could go deep this year.  This resulted in two changes, one new entrant, and one elevation.

As always, we present our top five, which was not affected by the last season:

1. Bob Feller

2. Nap Lajoie

3. Tris Speaker

4. Lou Boudreau

5. Bob Lemon

Slugger, Jose Ramirez, climbed to #16 from #21.

The lone new entry is 2020 Cy Young winner, Shane Bieber, who debuts at #49.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

As of this writing, Shane Bieber is the top arm for the Guardians, and the second most famous Bieber.

Debuting for Cleveland in 2018, two years after he was drafted (4^th Round), Bieber was 11-5 as a rookie, though his ERA was 4.55.  He shaved more than a run off his ERA as a sophomore (3.28), and added a first All-Star while going 15-8 and fanning 259 batters. 

Bieber’s best year to date was in the COVID-shortened 2020, where he won the Cy Young, and won the Pitcher’s Triple Crown (8 Wins, 1.63 ERA & 122 SO) and was also the league-leader in ERA+ (273), FIP (2.07), H/9 (5.4) and SO/9 (14.2).  Since then, he added an All-Star in 2021, a Gold Glove in 2022, and he enters 2025. under 30, but recovering from Tommy John surgery.  If he has a bounce back season, he will rocket up this list.

Last year, Baltimore went over .500, and could be a sleeper team in 2023, however none of their players cracked the Top 50, nor were there any changes.  We still want to acknowledge that we have counted 2022 into our rankings.
