Ralphy Valezquez, Parker Messick and the best Cleveland baseball player nicknames of all time
Q: Do you think Nolan Jones will make the opening day roster, given the competition with Halpin and Fairchild?
They assess that Jones's spot is tenuous; Fairchild offers a right-handed bat and solid defense, while Jones has shown strikeouts and inconsistency but potential upside, keeping his roster chances alive depending on spring performance.
