Ever since Nick Gilbert sat on stage two years ago in Seacaucas, NJ, rocked a swagged out bow tie/glasses combo that would make Urkel proud, and brought home the much needed first pick in the draft the NBA lottery has had new meaning in Cleveland. Before the ping pong balls fell Cleveland’s way in 2011 it was a lowly time to be a Cavalier fan. The team had just finished a historically bad season and now we had to sit back and watch the one we made king try to win a title for that all white wearing, Backstreet Boy looking fan base in Miami. Desperate times called for desperate measures and Dan Gilbert delivered. Along with his son Nick, Gilbert flew to the lottery with an entourage that was best described by the Machine Gun Kelly lyric “so Clevleand it’s a god damn shame”. Gilbert flew with the ultimate cleveland hero, Bernie Kosar, who represents all of us Clevelanders longing for the glory days even if we were never alive to see them. He flew with Josh Cribbs, whose loyalty and rare talents allowed us Clevelanders to anoint a kick returner the new king. And to complete Gilbert’s entourage was Browns’ cornerback Joe Haden who exemplified Cleveland’s need for a new star to cling to after the losing the sun a year earlier. Gilbert’s crew, most notably Nick, succeeded in their task. They went to New Jersey with nothing but confidence and brought home hope. The formula worked so well in 2011 that they ran it back in 2012. Once again Bernie, Cribbs, and Haden joined the Gilbert gang in Jersey, along with the Irvings who were attending their second straight lottery as well, but their first as a part of team Gilbert. The results this time around failed in comparison to 2011 but the Lottery was now a date circled on the Cleveland sports calendar. When I asked my buddy if we were having a watch party for the lottery, “I mean, why wouldn’t we” he replied. Which brings us to Tuesday’s lottery. Gilbert once again brought an entourage with him. This time there were no Irving’s, Cribbs, Haden, or even Bernie. Instead, Gilbert’s crew consisted of the aforementioned Machine Gun Kelly, ESPNCleveland’s Tony Rizzo, Iron Chef Michael Symon, a lucky fan, and of course the Cavs’ lucky charm, Nick Gilbert (bowtie and all). 8:30 – The great Jay Bilas gives us a quick breakdown of Ben McLemore’s game, but refutes from uttering the words “wingspan” which keeps fans of the NBA draft drinking game at bay for another month. 8:33 – Heather Cox begins her interview with Anthony Bennett. My living room has already turned into a panic room. “Would we seriously take the guy in the sling that no one has ever heard of!?” 8:36 – Bilas continues to touch on some of the top prospects in the draft. My buddy’s girlfriend asks the obligatory question for the only girl in the room to ask, “Wait is this Cody Zeller related to Tyler?” We all give her props that she knew who Tyler Zeller was in the first place and begin dreaming of the Zellers vs. Hansbroughs rivalry that could develop between Cleveland and Indiana. 8:40 – Bill Simmons and the NBA Countdown crew give us their “Karma Lottery Power Rankings”. The Cavs are nowhere to be found, with Detroit taking the top spot. As much I have disdain for Detroit sports after living with a Detroit fan in college, it’s hard not to agree the Motor City deserves a break after watching Detropia. 8:43 – The whole room starts grilling me on why Scott hates the lottery. This is the most excited this room has been for Cavaliers basketball since Kyrie took down the Thunder a couple months back. 8:45 – Heather Cox begins to announce the representatives on stage for each team. Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal, Andre Drummond, and Kevin Love are all on stage. The first three make sense coming off strong rookie seasons, but it appears Love was there

The Diff is your weekly Wednesday WFNY look into the amazing world of sports statistics. For a complete log of articles, click this link. Last week, The Diff was on vacation in sunny Tybee Island, Georgia. Apologies for the lack of content. Now, we’re back this week with more MLB stats. In a roundabout way, your 2013 Cleveland Indians somehow sit in a very familiar position: a 26-18 record through 44 games. For those with a poignant memory, that’s exactly where the team was through 44 games in 2012, too, before embarking on one of the worst collapses in baseball history. Today, my plan is to look at what all of the 26-18 teams have done by perusing the deep, dark pages of the MLB record books.   Research background In order to answer this question, I utilized the fantastic “Best n-games streak” function within the Play Index tools over at Baseball-Reference.com. I only subscribed to that website a month ago, but it’s already been one of my favorite sports decisions ever. There is limitless information within just a few mouse clicks over there. I couldn’t possibly recommend a subscription more highly. So, I was able to search for all of the 44-game start-of-season stretches in baseball history. Obviously, schedules have been all sorts of different lengths. My limit for the data below is only for seasons of 144+ games. For the rest, it’s just not comparable enough. I’m also limiting it to teams that started exactly 26-18 in their first 44 games, since ties also used to be a thing. Overall, there were 23 teams that started 26-18 but didn’t finish with 144+ games. Also, there were 41 teams that might have started 26-18 in their first 44 decision, but had a tie in there, so I was unable to truly track it down easily. The results Skipping right to the tables today, here are the results of my search for the 26-18 starts in 44 games for teams with 144+ games in their season in the amazing Baseball-Reference.com database. The rest of today’s article will cover what all of these numbers mean: Future Wins for 26-18 MLB Teams Record # times Avg Pct Per 162 26-18 116 0.552 89.4 Max Q3 Median Q1 Min 104.7 96.6 90.0 83.0 68.0   Playoff Odds for 26-18 MLB Teams Date Range Playoffs Teams Odds From 1898-1993 21 81 26% From 1995-2012 18 35 51% Total 39 116 34%   Run Differential Since 1962 (78 Teams) Max Q3 Median Q1 Min 65 39 26 15 0 Future Correlation: 0.362 Here’s your quick disclaimer for the non-mathematically inclined 1 . Also, here’s your baseball-related statistical disclaimer 2 . The reason for picking 1995: That’s the year the first-ever Wild Card system was put into effect, dramatically increasing the potential for making the playoffs. Then, the reason for later picking 1962: That’s the year the 162-game schedule became the standard in both leagues, hence setting the stage for a relatively reasonable data set of modern baseball history. The 2013 Indians and other research The 2013 Indians, the ones who are currently 26-18, also own a +33 run differential. More on that and how it compares in a moment. It’s also notable to remember that the Tribe started the season on an 8-13 stretch (-17 run differential) and have been 18-5 since (+50 run differential). It’s been a tale of two polar opposite streaks so far from slightly-below-average to best-in-baseball. Last year, I spotted this link from the wonderful John Dewan that described the meaningfulness of the first 10 games of the season. I’d encourage you to check that out and see how it compares to the 44-game stretches I’m looking at for this post. Future Wins Now going into the three detailed sets of stats from above, I’ll begin by looking at the storylines behind the maximum, Q3, median, Q1 and minimum season-wins for teams that started out 26-18. Max – 1963 NYY (104-57): These Yankees weren’t all that impressive to

Yesterday, as WFNY’s Scott Sargent was announcing his trial separation with the NBA Draft Lottery, I found myself nodding along in agreement as I consumed every word of it. Scott is exactly right. The Draft Lottery is the worst. It was kind of fun the first couple years, dreaming of top picks and thinking about potential. In previous years I’ve spent countless hours playing the lottery machine, reading about the top 2 or 3 prospects, and dreaming of what winning the top spot would mean for the team. But the more time you spend wallowing in the murkiness of luck, lethargy, and the tantalizing siren song of the NBA Draft Lottery, the more you realize it’s not a scene you really want to be a part of. As much as I love seeing Nick Gilbert proudly represent the city of Cleveland and the Cavaliers franchise, I’d be perfectly content if I don’t see him on TV again until it’s on a podium holding a trophy. And thus, shortly after Nick Gilbert told the national audience that he, too, was tired of being there, the Cavaliers won the #1 pick in the draft. And in doing so, the Cavaliers opened the door to a world of options and opportunities. The team may or may not be in the lottery again next year, but you have to believe that at worst Nick Gilbert will be sitting in the top row instead of his usual front-left spot on the stage. That’s the fun part of this. Thinking about all the options and potential for roster improvement is exciting. But the reality is, with so many options in front of him, choosing the right move is an enormous responsibility for GM Chris Grant. Of course, there’s also a darker reality to this situation. The truth is, this is the worst draft to have the #1 pick since 2006. There’s no real, clear-cut choice at #1. The decision of who to pick at #1 will require weighing factors such as team need, injuries, immediate impact, long-term upside, etc. In most drafts, there’s an easy choice at #1. This year, it feels a little like picking the lesser of two evils. The good news for Cavs fans is that Chris Grant has done this before. It’s easy to forget already, but just 2 years ago, Kyrie Irving wasn’t the obvious #1 pick that everyone makes him out to be today. There was a lot of debate back then about whether taking Derrick Williams first and someone like Brandon Knight 4th wasn’t the better route for the Cavaliers. Thankfully Grant and Company made the right move then, and the hope is that they make the right move now. But what is the right move for the Cavaliers? That’s a tricky question. In some ways, winning this lottery almost feels like a cruel joke, because the best fit for the Cavaliers right now, at this moment in time, is probably Otto Porter. Porter, of course, would be considered a reach at #1. But Porter fits the biggest immediate need. As a SF, he is a solid two-way player who can help space the floor a bit on offense while buying in to Mike Brown’s defensive scheme. But does Porter have the highest long-term upside? Probably not. The player with the most potential and brightest future might be Ben McLemore. But McLemore isn’t a need for this team right now. Drafting a SG in the top 4 of the draft in back to back seasons is a bitter pill to swallow, even if McLemore is the best player available and the smartest pick 1 . The consensus #1 prospect, however, seems to be Nerlens Noel. With Anderson Varejao getting older and constantly being considered in trade rumors, selecting the center of the future is appealing. And Noel’s raw defensive ability is mesmerizing. But his wire-thin frame is an enormous concern. I’m uncomfortable with the amount of footage I’ve seen of Noel being abused in the post by NBA prospects like Mason Plumlee and Alex Len. Preying on mediocre collegiate talent by using your superior athleticism is one thing, but banging in the post with the NBA’s elite centers when you weigh 206 pounds is a completely different beast. And then there’s also Noel’s surprisingly abysmal offensive skillset. Noel

A report came out just after the draft lottery was completed that the Dallas Mavericks are interested in trading out of their lottery pick. Dallas missed the playoffs for the first time in a decade plus, but want to save the salary cap space that the 13th pick in the draft would get in order to pursue Dwight Howard. Hearing from multiple sources that Mavs likely to trade the No. 13 pick. Want to save cap space for Dwight Howard run … — Chad Ford (@chadfordinsider) May 22, 2013 “Multiple sources told ESPN.com’s Chad Ford that the Mavs are likely to trade the pick to help create the cap space necessary to make a run at Dwight Howard in free agency. The 13th overall pick has a cap hold of $1,655,300.” [ESPN Dallas] The first round draft picks come with a cap hold. That means that any player the Mavericks draft at number 13 would count $1.66 million against the cap. If they were to trade that pick for any pick in the first round, they would have at least an $880K hit against the cap. (The Cavaliers’ 19th pick has a cap hold of $1.22 million.) However, in the second round they could draft any player they wanted from Europe, keep their draft rights and it wouldn’t count a dime against the cap until they came over to the states to play. Here’s why that is particularly interesting to the Cavaliers- Cleveland owns the 1st and 3rd picks in the second round. Truth be told, these picks might hold the most value to a club looking to take a chance on a European, letting them develop overseas. And the Cavaliers have two of the first three. Could anyone offer Dallas a better deal for pick number 13 that wouldn’t include a player counting against the cap? Maybe. But then again the Cavs could also offer a future draft pick, which they have plenty of. There is the infamous Sacramento pick in the Hickson/Casspi trade. The protections on that pick might make it worth flipping now. They also have extra first round picks in 2015 from Memphis and Miami. What’s the big deal about getting the #13 pick? That’s a good question. First, if the Cavaliers choose to use the pick on a player, Chad Ford’s updated mock draft has UCLA swingman Shabazz Muhammad going in that range. Actually number 14 to Utah. The Cavs could add whoever they want at #1 and potentially get a dynamic wing scorer of the future at #13. Then they still have the 19th pick. Of course, they could always package the 13th pick with the 19th in order to move up, possibly into the top 5-8? Then they get 2 of the top say 6 players in the draft. Sound familiar? Who knows what Chris Grant could do with picks #1, 13 and 19? He also has a few trade chips. Varejao and the first pick for an established young player? Zeller and number 13? Endless possibilities. But they all start with a phone call to Dallas.

I write these recaps four to five times a week. Over a full baseball season, some of them are so much fun to put together and they write themselves. Then there are others where you have to grasp at an angle because nothing really exciting happened. Then there are the ones with one or two obvious story-lines  Last night falls into the category of the latter. It was another nice night down at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario as the Indians, winners of 18 of 22, welcomed their Central Division rival Detroit to town. The Tigers have led the division most of this young season, but have been overtaken by the Tribe during this three weeks of baseball heaven here in Cleveland. With a two and a half game lead entering this short two-game set, no matter what happens, the Tribe will stay in first. While the Tigers payroll is near the top of the league, the two teams are pretty evenly matched. The Tigers rotation is superior to the Tribe’s, there is no doubt about that. However, the Indians pen dwarfs Detroit’s. Both teams have loaded lineups, but it is not hard to see where the Tigers trump the Indians there. Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder hit third and fourth. It is a 1-2 punch that is the envy of all of baseball. Once again, Cabrera would be the difference maker. The game started out well enough for the Indians. In the first, Michael Bourn and Asdrubal Cabrera singled against hard-throwing Max Scherzer. Michael Brantley lined a sac fly scoring Bourn to put the Tribe on top 1-0. Corey Kluber’s night was off to a tremendous start as well. With a heavy fastball load working, the Tribe’s fifth starter retired 12 of the first 13 men he faced. In the fifth, former Indians Victor Martinez and Jhonny Peralta opened with back to back singles, but Kluber came back strong with a big strikeout of Matt Tuiasosopo. He then retired Alex Avila and Omar Infante to end the threat. Kluber was rolling, but Scherzer was one-upping him. After Asdrubal’s one out single in the first, the Tribe didn’t touch Scherzer. An offense that has been so good for the last three weeks, looked overmatched. Scherzer would retire 22 in a row, including striking out the last three Indians he saw in the eighth inning. He left after 118 pitches, giving up just the one run on two hits, striking out seven. “That was a dominant performance,” Francona said. “His last pitch was 98. When you’re up around 115-120 pitches and you have that left in the tank, that’s saying a lot. That was impressive.” Kluber was close to matching him, but in the sixth inning, he had to face that top of the Tigers order a third time around. Andy Dirks took a fastball and deposited it into the seats in right field, which tied the game at one. Torii Hunter followed that Dirks blast with a double to the gap in right-center. It seemed that danger time was upon us. Cabrera came to the plate with the lead run on second and first base open. I said at the time I would never pitch to this guy unless I absolutely had to. I know that Cabrera is right-hander and the left-handed hitting Fielder was on deck, but with the way Cabrera is swinging the bat, I would rather take my chances with Prince. Manager Terry Francona decided to let Kluber go after Cabrera. It didn’t end up working out how either of them had planned. The reigning AL MVP and Triple Crown winner took Kluber deep to center for a back-breaking two-run homer. “If you walk him, and you have first and second and nobody out, you’re asking for trouble,” Francona said. “You’re putting your pitcher in a tough spot.” What Francona said is true, but as good as Fielder is, Miguel Cabrera is on another level right now. He is hitting .384/.455/.667/12 HR/49 RBI in 43 games. “I missed my spot,” Kluber said. “And it was kind of right where he wanted it.” Kluber would settle back in by striking out Fielder to end the sixth. He w

Seth Jones Position: DefenseTeam: Portland Winterhawks (WHL)Age: 18Date of Birth: October 3, 1994Place of Birth: Plano, TexasHt: 6'4" Wt: 206lbsShoots: Right 2012-2013 Regular Season Stats: GP G A PTS +/- PIM 61 14 42 56 +46 33 2012-2013 Playoff Stats: GP G A PTS +/- PIM 21 5 10 15 +15 4 Seth Jones is a rare prospect. He is the son of a former NBA basketball player, and as such was blessed with an insanely large frame. But, on top of that, he's also athletic as hell, thanks in part to the smartness of his father. Jones started playing hockey while his father was playing for the Denver Nuggets, and through that connection his father was able to chat up Joe Sakic about how best to get his son improved with hockey. Not a bad start, eh? Jones followed that up with figure skating lessons, and that helped form the foundation for his hockey abilities. In short, Jones is huge, but he skates like a man much smaller. Overall, Jones combines the ability to move the puck, the ability to skate very well for a large defenseman, and the size and smarts to play shut-down defense. He also has a very dangerous shot from the point. He is one of the most complete defensemen to come into the draft in a long time. If he continues to develop, he can be a guy who plays top-pairing minutes, leads the PK, quarterbacks the PP, and wears a letter on his sweater in time. Central Scouting his him listed as the #1 North American skater in their final rankings. Scouting Reports: A defenseman with an excellent frame. Jones' athleticism allows him to be a very good skater for a player of his size. He has excellent mobility and is solid both offensively and defensively. Jones gives a smart first pass and is also capable of utilizing his skating ability to bring the puck up himself. He has good hockey sense and is an assett on the powerplay thanks to his mobility, puck-handling and a very dangerous slapshot.- Matias Strozyk, Elite Prospects If Seth Jones has a weakness in his game, I do not see it... Jones is a high-end (arguably an elite) skater, who moves at a unique and unusual level for such a large man. With his very large wingspan and mobility, Jones closes gaps with high efficiency, and he can be difficult to get around. His best trait is his clearly elite hockey sense. Jones was making pro-level reads when he was 16, showing he was, and still is, advanced way beyond his years. He makes a multitude of good defensive plays with positioning, stick work and anticipation. He seems to always to be a step ahead of everyone else. This is evident in his offensive ability as well. He knows when to pinch, and he can exhibit high levels of offensive skill, creativity and vision. Jones has a cannon from the point, which can make him a very dangerous player on the power play. He is a big man with a ton of weapons. Finally, his size is a tremendous asset. He stands around 6'4'', and while he isn't a mean player, he takes his checks with the body. He projects as a top-end physical player. - Hockey Prospectus Jones is an extremely rare blend of size, mobility, skill and raw athletic ability. He already has an NHL frame, standing 6’4 205 lbs, and despite his size, has exceptional mobility and a very smooth skating stride. He uses this high-end skating ability to carry the puck out of his own end and through the neutral zone with relative ease. When he isn’t given room to skate, Seth’s superb vision allows him to identify the appropriate outlet and make a crisp first pass out of the zone to start the play up ice. His calm demeanour and high hockey IQ means he seldom makes mistakes and turnovers in his own end are rare. On the power play, Jones is capable of playing a quarterback role, but appears more comfortable as a shooter. He possesses an extremely heavy slapshot that he is not afraid to let go from anywhere in the offensive zone. His mobility allows

Just hours after winning the first-overall selection in the 2013 NBA Draft, rumors are circulating that have the Cleveland Cavaliers considering trade options which would include their lottery prize. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst points out that, while a top pick has not been dealt in 20 years, the stars are aligned for the Wine and Gold to pull the trigger in the event an offer presents itself. “The Cavs are in a favorable position to make a deal,” writes Windhorst. ”The team has more than $20 million in salary cap space, the No. 1 pick plus the No. 19, No. 31 and No. 33 picks, and a roster with young prospects that could be used in a deal.” The 2013 NBA Draft, like several that came before it, is widely considered to be a weak draft in terms of star potential. Kentucky center Nerlens Noel (who is presently pegged to go to the Cavaliers in the event the team keeps the selection) is coming off of ACL surgery and is very raw offensively. There are several wing players who could go within the top five, and two of the better frontcourt players not named Noel—UNLV’s Anthony Bennett and Maryland’s Alex Len—are presently nursing injuries of their own. Rumors have circulated that link the Cavaliers to deals with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Portland Trailblazers. Nothing concrete has been reported, however, outside of a report that the Blazers and Cavaliers had been discussing a trade that would send forward LaMarcus Aldridge to Cleveland. “You want to look at all your options and make the best decision for your team,” Cavs general manager Chris Grant said following the lottery. “This is a valuable asset that we can add to the group, whether it’s in trade or keep it and add a player.” [Related: Dear NBA Lottery, I think we should see other people]

While We’re Waiting serves as the early morning gathering of WFNY-esque information for your viewing pleasure. Have something you think we should see? Send it to our tips email at tips@waitingfornextyear.com “Yes, the Cavs grabbed the No. 1 pick in the lottery, but it’s a lousy draft. OK, it is a lousy draft … so would you rather have the No. 6 pick in a bad draft? That was the worst the Cavs could have finished in this lottery. Nope, if you’re a fan, you should be thrilled that your team has the top pick.” [Pluto/Cleveland.com] —- “Last season the team experienced some chemistry issues unlike anything we ever experienced under Mike Brown. Though the team largely seemed to get along with each other, near the end of the season there seemed to be a rift between Byron Scott and many of the players. Word leaked to the media that many players were unhappy with the way people were being played and how practices and shootarounds were being conducted. Players speaking out against the coach to the media shows a crumbling of team unity and culture that could eventually destroy an entire team’s play and trust in one another. Mike Brown’s teams in Cleveland were very close knit (except arguably near the end of his tenure if you believe the Delonte West rumors) and showed a real understanding for playing together. Hopefully this is a culture that he can bring back to Cleveland now. I have high hopes that this team will avoid the pitfalls of the last few squads in terms of their maturity and grit in critical moments.” [Bednarczuk/The Bottom Up] —- “The Indians were 30-15 when “Mike and Mike” came to Cleveland in 2011, then went 50-67 the rest of the way. Last year, Greenberg and Golic arrived with the Tribe at 17-12 — they finished 51-82. Through 43 games this season, the Indians are 26-17 and in first place of the American League Central by 2 1/2 games entering their series with division-rival Detroit. “I really hope that we are not about to destroy their season,” Greenberg said before Tuesday’s game.” [Bastian/MLB,com] —- “Wide receiver Bo Dever posted a photo of the Wolverines new footballs and while they are made in the USA (wooo, patriotism), they are not manufactured in Ohio. See, it says so on the ball. Because a Michigan man would never, ever be caught playing with a football that was produced in that God forsaken state… Or so I’m told. Personally, I’m not above finding this sort of pettiness between “The School Up North” and “Ohio” entertaining. Branding footballs is mildly ridiculous, but it will no doubt solicit an equally ridiculous reaction from Ohio State.” [Watson/Dr. Saturday] —- A closer look at Browns new WR Bess- “After breaking down and watching his film, I am confident The Browns were able to land a dominate slot receiver with their trade during the draft. Bess has shown consistency vs good defenses; great route running ability; quickness; termendous hands; field awareness and balance; toughness; power; and play making ability. These will all be welcome additions to the field on Sundays for Browns fans and our offensive gameplan. Let’s start with a double whammy. Let’s take a look at our new WR, Davone Bess absolutely tear up the Steeler secondary for a 26 yard TD with the “icing on the cake” being a very clear illustration of the Steerler’s head hunting ways. You can watch the NFL.com video of this exact play HERE.” [Krupka/Dawgs by Nature]

The Cleveland Cavaliers will select first in the upcoming NBA Draft. The Cavaliers had a 15.6 percent chance of winning the top spot, and have now won the lottery for the second time in the last three years. Before the lottery results were revealed, Cavs representative Nick Gilbert stated that this would be the team’s final visit to the lottery and that a playoff push was in the immediate future. Cleveland general manager Chris Grant is widely considered to be coveting an upgrade to either the small forward or center positions, but has gone on record to say that they are going to take the best player available (per their draft board) rather than reaching for need. Kentucky center Nerlens Noel is forecasted to be the first player off of the board in many mock drafts. “It’s a great organization and I’m really looking forward to the possibility of playing in Cleveland,” said Noel following the lottery. The 2013 NBA Draft will be held on June 27 in New York City. [Related: Dear NBA Lottery, I think we should see other people]

Cleveland Indians closer Chris Perez released an official statement following the much-discussed deactivation of his Twitter account. “The decision to deactivate my Twitter account was a personal choice I made in order to maintain the greater focus on the success of the team this season and our shared goals moving forward. We have an extremely positive and supportive group of players, coaches and staff members in our clubhouse and I want to participate in activities and routines that contribute positively to the culture we’re building here. Out of respect for my teammates, I want to minimize any potential off-the-field distractions so this is the only time I will comment on this topic. Thank you for your understanding.” Perez deleted his account following Cleveland’s 9-7 win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday afternoon. The two-time All-Star allowed his third home run in two consecutive outings which led to a slew of personal attacks via the microblogging platform.
