Exactly. Everyone should be available for the right price. Its just the price for a players are going to be much more expensive than other players.

Why?

Well, see, there's that qualifier. It ain't exactly a good farm system to deal from, is it? That aside, I agree with you, the Tigers (or any team) don't need to be completely on one side of the aisle or the other. I just think the focus will be on trading Rodriguez and Lorenzen for prospects. And maybe they can move Cisnero and Shreve, too.

Candelario’s season is better than the Tigers have at their disposal for 3B. They could look to upgrade at 2B, OF, and C as well. I doubt that Harris buys, and if he does, it’s going to be a tough needle to thread while simultaneously selling. They’re in an odd spot where they are theoretically in a division race and that’s it. There’s no chance to fall back on a wild card spot. And there’s also the fact that they themselves have been a losing record team all season long.

I wonder what Washington would want for Candelario? Yes, I’m serious.

It would almost certainly have to involve trading the pitching rotation duo for a combination of major league ready rotation arms and major league ready bats. A buy & sell. Or perhaps they backfill the arms by floating prospects like Malloy or MeadowsP for a starting pitcher?

I think we need to be cognizant of scouts perusing these pages to gain info on the trade bait. I'd suggest we refer to these fellows as World Series Champion Rodriguez and All Star Lorenzen in an attempt to drive up the prices.

Sorry, he did not opt out.

I'm guessing. I usually watch on TV and have not caught many games with Scales. I think Maybin is a little more higher pitched and definitely more Georgia accent than Scales.

The Tigers have never really had a good defensive OF since moving into Commercial Park. One would think that would be a priority, but it hasn't been. Maybe after 20some previous years and 3 previous GMs it can be something to look at?

I don't think its Maybin on the call with Dickerson. Isn't it Bobby Scales?

Sure. And Jones would be the first to admit that Lange probably has more speed and stuff, too. What was his line? He tried to get to 3 outs before the opposition realized he didn't have all that much?

I understand planning on a platoon at any particular position except for C. Too much day game after night game interference among other things.

Is using Edwin Jackson for the team & team combos cheating? I think a case could be made.

Probably true. We have certainly seen that with pitchers that last couple of seasons. Malloy & MeadowsP can always be optioned. It would seem both have some holes to their games, so it wouldn't be out of the question to have them playing everyday in AAA to iron those out as opposed to being platooned in Detroit. I did what I hate to do and assume only players inside the organization. We don't know what other moves may occur between now and then. I don't think they'll be big players in free agency, but who knows what trades they might engage in. So, part lazy by me, part unknown going into next season. I'd like to see some more out of Baddoo. I think there are some metrics that show he is improving over his time with Detroit. I think he will have some limitations that will have to be minimized, but I would think he has some growth to his game yet, too.

The 2024 OF/DH alignments: Greene, OF, everyday. Carpenter, DH, everyday. That's the easy part. Baddoo & Vierling as MLB incumbents. Malloy & MeadowsP as being some degree of ready. It seems a bit crowded, maybe one has to be moved. Malloy's inability to take to 3B really hurts.

See any resemblance?

Eat it, Kansas City.

Cameron Maybin dropped this little ditty during one of his broadcasts. It was one of the slang phrases that he had encountered somewheres along the lines for a strikeout.

All of this happiness kind’ve brings a tear to your eye, don’t it?

Not bad for a bust.
