I was kidding about Torkleson at 3B.
-
I think this seems reasonably most likely at this point. Maybe Jung, Torkelson, Malloy, and Perez (in no particular order) are fighting for one spot.
-
Try him at 3B again?
-
Our timing was impeccable.
-
That’s a Shawn Kemp kind of pace.
-
Hope he likes Toledo.
-
Isn’t Lillard in the 3 point shooting contest? I know a guy that could replace a guy…..
-
I’m not sold on Jung at 3B, not based on what was shown in his call up. It doesn’t mean he can’t do it, but I’d feel better about some time at Toledo to work on that. If Baez can be a legit everyday SS, or at least maybe the left side of the IF is handled well by Baez, Sweeney, and Vierling, that should …. OK, OK, maybe I’m being too optimistic on a wintry mix day.

One guess as to who Rendon’s top batting comparison is on bbref.
-
Fouls. Too many dumb ones. Too many times in early foul trouble. Still not much of an offensive game aside from pick and rolls, but damnit if those pick and rolls aren’t an almost guaranteed two points. Defense is still lacking, but nobody plays defense these days.

I liked what Kelser mentioned about how Thompson and Holland give an on court energy similar to Rodman and Salley. I’ve had that thought about Holland for a while. Thompson, while it never occurred to me, I see what he’s saying there, too. I’m just happy to see him recover from a disappointing rookie season.

Box score fun: The Hornets actually outscored the Pistons in 3 of the 4 quarters.
-
The local Krogers is always out of snozzberries.
-
False. A WSox-Seattle game likely means better weather than the Super Bowl.
-
Eh… yeah, I guess. But it still doesn’t comfort me for this season.
-
Yes, I opted for the ESPN feed the other night vs …. whoever it was….. because of the same issue. The random pixels throughout a broadcast are annoying. I honestly don’t remember the last time I’ve watched a Fan Duel / Ballys production without them.
-
Just stop and think about that sentence that you typed out.
-
His poor 2024 would be one of the better bats on the 2024 Tigers. He’s had 4 seasons of 2.9 WAR or higher. My concern with him is in the field, both himself directly and moving Keith to another position. But the bat should be helpful and the contract isn’t onerous.
-
Some of that is just criminal.
-
Is it within the realm of possibility that Baez rebounds enough at the plate and hangs on defensively such that he is a viable everyday SS and Sweeney/Vierling make a good 3B platoon this season? I’m not convinced that can happen, but I’m also not convinced that Jung is a 3B. I think this IF defense could be crummy, especially on the right side of the diamond.
-
They aren’t pitchers.
-
Shades of Tyler Alexander.
-
I do like the idea of front loading contracts such that the salary and expected production are more in line with each other over the life of the contract on an aging player.
-
Wow, Flaherty returns, and on that safe contract! I think I just peed myself a little bit.
-
Saving that defense for the playoffs.
