  1. 2030 might be sooner than the track they are currently on.
  2. This losing streak ain't hat bad.
  3. Wasn't the Ilitch family rumored to be interested in the Pistons when the Davidson family sold? Was there any other serious interest?
  4. All seem plausible.
  5. I think that broadcast has been relegated to PASS.
  6. Sure, if you want to buy that theory. Nobody here was in the room where it happened, so who knows what happened exactly. I'm going to guess timing came into play and there was a renege after a deadline for the backup plan(s), but that's just a theory. Whatever, here we are. Hopefully the Tigers can pound him if/when they face him.
  7. It would seem to me that they should have 2 of Cunningham/Bojanovich/Ivey out there at all times. At the very least, one of Cunningham/Bojanovich should be out there.
  8. Tracking NBA draft pick transactions, how they got flipped in trades, on basketball reference can be quite the rabbit hole.
  9. Toledo's pitching staff was pretty bad last season. If there aren't many promotions from Erie, those guys might as well be AAA fodder.
  10. When referencing the platform X, formally known as Twitter, does anyone ever just call it "X" or does it 100% of the time get referred to as "X which was formally known as Twitter"? Seems like the shorthand Twitter is the easiest form to use.
  11. That's it, if its anything. Given the life span of relief pitchers, at least peak performance, I wonder if they see something mechanically that they think they have a tweak for, and maybe they can get some cheap relief innings out of him after some time in Toledo? As has been mentioned, the stats just aren't there to think he's much of anything.
  12. I thought the Reds were trying to get rid of IFs?
  13. The Tigers should sue Rodriguez.
  14. Is this possible?
  15. Buddha has it 100% right, but don't tell him that. But then going back to the point of what exactly is the criteria. That's tough for some teams like Nebraska that have taken it on the chin lately because we also see them on the other side of the spectrum in the current moment.
  16. I think Edman predicted the extra option year for Faedo. Or maybe just called out the possibility.
  17. You could probably lump Mann in with those other IFs and they've all got their pros and cons. The options that you mention are beneficial. I would think Lipcius and possibly Kreidler aren't necessarily locks to make it through the offseason on the 40 if the Tigers need those spots. Certainly Nevin has the hotter seat before them.
  18. What's your top 10?
  19. I'm going to guess they'll draft 2B/3B Devin Mann if available. He's a RHH 27 year old (Opening Day) with very good on base skills and some pop in his bat. If he were to make the Opening Day roster, this would allow for Vierling to play CF vs LHPs and/or when Meadows needs a day off. This also buys time for Jung to play more 3B in the minors until he is ready and is a contingency in case Keith isn't ready for 2B to start the season.
  20. Gotcha, my bad.
  21. I guess this is one way to legitimize the fake legitimacy of the in season tournament. Create some controversy.
  22. But is that what this should be? What if MLB tapped the Blue Jays on the shoulder and informed them, sorry, the Yankees might have finished 7 games behind you, but we're going to need those TV ratings?
  23. If I had a nickel for every time that happened to me....
