The Guardians will be again searching to fill the hole in right field they’ve been trying to address since Michael Brantley left after 2017. Let’s take a look at some of the potential answers who will get a chance to seize the role this Spring:
The Betting Favorites: A Platoon of Will Brennan and Jhonkensy Noel
Will Brennan has a career 104 wRC+ against RHP with a 12.5/4.8 K/BB%. Technically, that is above average production against right-handers. He was also very good defensively in right-field in 2023... and terrible defensively there in 2024. He had a 122 wRC+ in Columbus in 2022 and was 15 of 16 in stolen bases.
