  1. I tend to agree. If they could attached a qualifier for the 2nd season, that might be different. Speaking of Candelario, poor defense allows the lead run to score. Is he reading this forum during the game?
  2. I’m all for adding value to players by having them play other positions. Its just tough to see how his career sub .700 minor league OPS will do anything for the Tigers in the majors.
  3. So, just throwing out numbers, say he’s looking at $7M for next season via arb. By more favorable, I assume you mean from the perspective of the Tigers? So something like, I don’t know, 2/$12M with incentives attached?
  4. Sanchez is probably playing 1B because that position was previously handled by Torkelson and Lester, both of whom are with Detroit now.
  5. I can’t see signing him to a multi year deal, but it all depends upon the language of the contract. Even if he has a good 2023, he has an inconsistent track record. So how many teams would look to sign him to a longer deal? Right now, I would imagine a nominal 2 year guaranteed deal would be tough for him to find.
  6. Completely agree. He and Greene need to play everyday. Probably Kreidler as well, although he doesn’t have the same expectation about him.
  7. I think one of the things that work in Candelario’s favor as of now is that the probable IF for next season, at least as far as incumbents go, is RHB heavy. His SHB, although ineffective this season, probably works to in favor of bringing him back. And in fairness, he has had success on the lefty side of the plate. Similarly, this might be a reason to bring Reyes back as a bench OF. His SHB breaks up the possible LHB heavy OF. But that’s just one of the many variables heading into the off-season. Again, who knows what new leadership will want to accomplish this off-season. It might be more about improving the player development process of the organization for the long term and less about major league player acquisition for 2023.
  8. It’s tough to gauge right now without a GM in place. The pros and cons are probably equal in weight. I suspect he is brought back and they kick the longer term 3B decision down the road, but it’s just an uneducated guess.
  9. I would hate to be at a game sitting behind an umbrella. Fortunately for those there today, there are plenty of open seats to move around to.
  10. Candelario with an E on a relatively easy throw to CastroH. Just another straw on the non tender pile.
  11. There were a few of those, including one by backup RB Miyan Williams. He has some beast in him, watching him was fun. He may not have the elusiveness or break away speed, but he was tough to bring down without a fight.
  12. So, does Lester make his MLB player debut as a mop up reliever today?
  13. The talent might be there, but I didn't think it was all that impressive last night. I don't know, I'm not a leatherhead with Xs and Os, but either Notre Dame had a helluva game plan with keeping everything in front of them on defense and not allowing any long gains and/or the OSU offense was just not clicking. Maybe it was just a matter of getting into game speed or lining up against another team or something like that. It just took them a while to get things going. As it was, I'll take the W and buddha bought drinks. Yesterday, it was a good day.
  14. I would settle for an authentic game worn jersey with my name on it (even if I just rode the pine) and an entry on baseball reference.
  15. Maybe the Mud Hens had a ping pong battle royale to determine Cabrera's replacement and Lester was the winner?
  16. Seems odd that someone already on the 40 wouldn't be called up. But maybe this is just a reward cup of coffee. Or maybe he fills the role of Barbaro Garbey or Rod Allen on the 1984 team?
  17. Kansas City Royals (54-80) at Detroit Tigers (51-82)
  18. In his defense, his top speed was more or less jogging rather than running.
  19. Take a bow, dude.
  20. Oregon State is up by 17 over Boise State. Looks like they’re renovating the stadium in Corvallis.
  21. I was wondering if OSU could sneak in another TD late. Miyan Williams would’ve been the only shot. They maybe should’ve gotten him going a little earlier. I’ll take an Abita Purple Haze. I haven’t had one of those in a while.
  22. It killed some time before the ND-OSU game.
  23. Are you left handed? You got some crafty to you.
  24. Cabrera to the IL. Josh Lester to be called up. If you had Josh Lester on your bingo card,…..shut up, you didn’t.
  25. Yes, I’m serious. An entire decade of over 30 starts per season. He missed 5 starts in 2019. Made all 12 in the COVID shortened 2020. He’s missed some starts this season. I’ll take the 10 years of over 30 starts per season (which doesn’t factor in playoff appearances) over 2 seasons with missed starts (one of which was still a 27 start season) as proof that he isn’t often injured. You can disagree if you choose, but feel free to be wrong.
