He'll be a Mud-Hen?

Now that Daz Cameron is gone, that seems to be the case.

So Englert replaces CastroH? OK, sounds fine.

Not sure this team had a row boat to begin with.

Well, time to clean up the party and skate before cars start getting towed out of the church lot. Careful of the PBR cans, there’s some sorority beers on the coffee table. Did Lee find the plunger he was looking for?

That could be part of it. I think a lot of folks are just simply tired of losing. And now there's finally a new GM/VP in place, but where are the moves that would be expected with the promise of new leadership? This team ain't getting turned around in one offseason. I still think getting the structure of the organization in place is the main function for Harris right now. Of course he also needs to acquire players in the meantime. And let's be honest, for most players, its probably about the money over anything else. But if a player can make a similar amount of money on a winning team, why sign with Detroit?

This kind of jives with what I was wondering about last season. To my untrained eye, the fielding accolades that were bestowed upon him didn't quite match what I thought was a middle infielder with a poor lack of range. He did seem to fare well in the shift in shallow RF. I don't disagree that he's got a pretty strong & accurate arm. Moving him to 3B seems too simplistic to me. He hasn't played 3B since his rookie season. He's got the arm for it, but does he have the instinctual movement for most plays at the hot corner? If the Tigers can acquire a better 2B than 3B, then sure, try Schoop at 3B. ideally they can upgrade at both positions and luck into some versatility whereby Schoop is a RHH IF to a LHH OF. Seems doubtful, but who knows.

Does there need to be a limit? Just as you mentioned, red flags and reputable programs, maybe constantly looking to move is the limitation itself.

3B Miguel Cabrera is in the BSOHL.

Somebody today needs to sit at a table with a Monday hat, a Tuesday, and a Wednesday hat, fumble through them and announce their portalship by putting on the Wednesday hat.

I would hope if anything changes it would be the former and not the latter.

Anyone can easily look up the stats. When the Tigers have good offensive players, they have a good offensive team. When they have bad offensive players, they have a bad offensive team. This current offense sucks in any ballpark.

This sounds like when people were confused about why other people were booing Lou Whitaker at Tiger Stadium.

Detroit Pistons vs New Orleans Pelicans

Whoa, hold on, what happens at the rule 5 party stays at the rule 5 party.

That's pretty good marketing/gimmickery. I hope someone is getting paid for it.

Let's see, laid back fan base in sunshine & 80s every day of the year or play where they throw batteries at Santa?

I don't know, maybe give the new guy a bit more than a few months to build a team?

Compensatory pick from the loss of Al Avila.

Phillies To Focus On Mid-Rotation Starters, Back-End Relievers Hey Dave, how about Soto?

I think you have to be fair on this one and apply your theory of Carlos Correa availability's for a true contract value to Kershaw. Look at his starts and innings per season. He's still damn good quality, but the quantity isn't there. But even trying to factor that in, $20M does seem like cheap.

Not that any of us can move the needle, but it seems like the more a rematch is talked about, the more likely the college football flying spaghetti monsters won't let it happen.

Detroit Pistons vs Miami Heat

The let them score until they tire themselves out and then catch up to them and surpass them on the path to victory strategy doesn't win very often.
