That’d be the best thing to happen right now.

Interesting. I thought Baltimore had serious interest in Whitaker and Cleveland had serious interest in Trammell in their final years. I don’t recall the Whitaker and Atlanta tango.
-
Not in spotting distance of the top of the list?

Vina. That’s an awesome pull.

I understand what you’re saying about extra seasons tacking on WAR. JAWS is a measure of the best 7 seasons of a players WAR, so by that measure it ignores the “hanging on” effect. Whitaker is at 56 and Kent is at 46. And I don’t mean to be critical of a guy playing an extra season. If a guy can do it, by all means do it. Ichiro Suzuki couldn’t pull himself way from the game. He ended up as a 5th OF with the Marlins. So what? He’s still a hall of fame player. One of my favorite players to watch in his prime.

Whitaker hit leadoff. Not a lot of RBI opportunities there.

I have a feeling he’s going to age not gracefully. I’m certainly no expert. I just think his value won’t be higher given his age, production, and contract. They could find another corner OF if need be, maybe even in the same deal. I’ll admit this is probably contrary to my opinion of keeping Skubal and getting into the playoffs this season. But I think it’d be easier to replace Greene’s production than it would be to replace Skubal’s production.

Who’s your educational establishment linked minor league pro team of choice?

It was only a matter of time. MLB and NBA have done this. I don’t find those patches bothersome right now. The Tigers, in particular, have at least gotten the Meijer patches to blend in with the jerseys as far as color pattern is concerned. I suppose that helps. On the other hand, if I’m marketing and I dole cash over to a team, I don’t necessarily want the patch to be “invisible”.
-
Yeah. I hope this characteristic doesn’t leak outside of college football coaching into other aspects of life.
-
If the Tigers were looking to shop someone for prospects, Greene might be the best that the Tigers can offer in order to bring back talent. I wouldn’t want any part of extending him beyond his controllable years.
-
It boosted his ego. And it took focus off of things like the Epstein files, flagging economy and militarization of the state.
-
Good grief, can you imagine if they win the NCAAMBB tourney?
-
Another point I heard today. Florida is a basketball school and now Indiana is a football school.

You seem grouchier than 53 years old. -
Sure, seems reasonable.

I need to know, was this predicted in the sports almanac in Back to the Future?

TV timeouts are a killer.

I kind of wonder how many countries will boycott 2028 in Los Angeles? Will it be more or less than the number of Olympic countries that are denied entry into the US?

The 25th amendment should have been used on January 6. The sooner the clown leaves office, the better off we'll be.

This reminds me of a yard campaign sign I saw. To paraphrase, it said “In this house we stand for virtue and dignity and righteousness and humility and civility and servitude and faith….” And it was for the orange asshole. I mean, come on, seriously? WTF.

Le Grand Orange is top tier nickname. Quite possibly first ballot along with Cool Papa and Big Unit. My larger point was expanding the roster could become an exercise in gathering up more singular purpose individuals. I’d rather see ball players that help a team in multiple aspects. It doesn’t mean they have to be average at least in all aspects. It doesn’t mean a tea, can’t have a guy like Staub or Matt Stairs as a PH/DH specialist role. But don’t make it so it’s easier to stock up on those types of players and in game substitutions become a rudimentary exercise in flipping defense on the field for offense at the plate back to defense in the field far more often than is the case.

Ha! Maybe that’s his major?

Maybe Phillip Rivers should’of waited on phone calls for another month?
