This looks not unlike James Whitmore circa Shawshank.

You need to do this by Category: 1) Trade acquisition that Avila was needlessly hyped over, but ended up as nothing but Hot Garbage: Dawel Lugo 2) Worst Starter on the market that Avila somehow felt was worth making a #3 starter. Who was, indeed, the worst starter on the market: Mike Pelfrey 3) Pitcher coming off an arm injury that seemed to be OK but also quite risky with recent underperformance compared to career norms in addition to the injury risk... That Spectacularly Blew Up in Avila's face: Jordan Zimmerman 4) Over-drafted "hitter" that had ZERO hit tool, some power, and a complete inability to field any position: Christin Stewart 5) Over-drafted "hitter" that had ZERO hit tool, some power, with a hit tool so bad no MLB, no ability to get to said power, Mendoza-like even in the MINORS, drafted in the top 2 rounds, and now every no-hit Tigers prospect is now compared to: Rey Rivera. 6) Awesome potential but injuries destroyed any chance to see the guy in MLB, immediately after we just traded our HOF Pitcher Justin Verlander for this key prospect: Franklyn Perez. 7) Below Replacement Level but we held onto him anyways because Avila couldn't find anyone better so he ended up with vastly more playing time as a Tiger than he EVER would have deserved with ANY other team in MLB: 4-way tie between Buck Farmer, Niko Goodrum, Christin Stewart, Harold Castro. (Feel free to expand this list to your heart's delight). Or add as many additional categories... as needed.

Those jobs posted yesterday all appear to be additions, not backfills, at least based on snooping social media. That just means there is growth coming to the analytics, biomechanics, and software engineering departments.

Toledo is expected to have a strong team this year...could be a nice landing spot for him developmentally.

My favorite thing of the hearings so far...

Yeah, their whole routine of "Nancy wanted this to get worse so she didn't call for the National Guard" was exposed for the BS that it was. Turns out, she did and that Mitch wanted them there on the scene too. But the Traitor In Chief didn't want them deployed. Almost everything MAGA accuses someone else of they get caught doing themselves, including here.

time for Biden to tell Musk that if he keeps jerking the Ukraininas around on Starlink, the US will nationalize it.

Chris better warn Spider that Pesci is gonna shoot him.

Manipulating stock prices??

Obvious one, but Jordan Zimmermann for me.

Mike Pelfrey.

Yep. All the vice signaling from the usual suspects may be as much about future cases centered around the propagation of vicious conspiracy theories. Including involving one of the largest media outlets in the country.
