    If the Tigers add Higginson and the Yankees add Bernie Williams.....

    I agree with you in principle about taking the best prospect(s), if the return is sufficient enough. Maybe the positon player over pitcher comes in as a tiebreaker of sorts if given a choice of similar type overall potential. It would be nice to find a bat that's close to MLB ready, maybe with an ETA of 2023/4. As far as the pitching this season, it has more than held up its end when you consider all of the injuries that have wrecked the pitching staff. For all of the criticism of this team/season, its tough to throw stones at the work that Fetter has done. I think its due for an implosion in the 2nd half, and I hope that people remain cognizant of the work that the Tigers have done squeezing lemonade out of crab apples.

    Oh, I think that ND to the B10 would already be a done deal if NBC gets a piece of the B10 broadcasts.

    Sanity check. Is Gregory Soto worth a top 50?

    It can't be brought up enough.

    Well, I guess I can agree with him on some things.

    I heard late last week a theory about watching for NBC to get media rights to the Big Ten. If that happens, Notre Dame is likely in the conference at that point.

    American League (46-43-2) vs National League (43-46-2)

    So, he doesn’t have the arm for 3B. But do we know if he can close blowouts as a P?

    No offense, but I prefer Jung. 😆

    I haven’t really paid much attention to this draft because (1) I normally don’t and (2) the rebuild is over. I don’t like taking a DH either. Sure, they talk about sending him to LF or 1B, but if he can’t run, he’s a liability in LF. And Torkleson is the 1B for the future despite a rough rookie season. I suppose he could end up being trade fodder. On the other hand, I’ll have to call out my own ignorance because I really don’t know what the better option was. Perhaps this was the last pick of this certain tier of players, and the remaining players are just not as good. That seems doubtful, but it’s possible.

    That’s understandable. It just doesn’t seem this collection of “hitters” should be so absolutely awful.

    Good grief, we’re all going to be bitching and moaning at each other for a long, long time.

    What can we take away from Coolbaugh and the Tigers last season? Haase and Baddoo came out of nowhere. Grossman had a career kind of season. Candelario was good. Cabrera is really too old to evaluate in this context. Schoop was ok. Rogers had success in a shortened stint. Everybody else was garbage, for the most part, but there’s a bunch of nondescript hitters bundled up in there. Maybe there’s nothing to take away.

    I wonder how much of the rest of the lineup, the clubhouse atmosphere, etc, affects the two prized rookies.

    Hinch doesn’t come across very charismatic, not lately anyway. Could be the toll of losing, could be that’s just his persona with the media and may be more charismatic with his employs. Personally I would stick someone like Urban Meyer in between the spectrum of Hinch and Hitler.
  17. casimir
    Eh, you are what you are.
  18. casimir
    I was just teasing you in good fun. Besides, if Hinch were around, it would be wine and not water that I would be walking through.

    They're going to sign a giant squid to play first base. (Note to @buddha: I don't really believe this. I am just being sarcasticalistic.)

    I easily think someone here was of the opinion and voiced it last season. But then he also thinks you can toss non degree holding people into classrooms to teach kids in K-3rd, so his opinion is sometimes just complete unthought buffoonery.

    Are we simply seeing the flip side of luck from what we saw last season? There has been a lot of bad luck with injuries, but I think that's more on the pitching side. Meadows has been the flukiest of all and it has impaired the offense. But this awful season from the sticks isn't solely due to Meadows, and its got to be time to make some sort of changes (including demoting Torkelson to work on his game).

    Nothing will match this:

    First pitch is actually 1:40, not 1:10. If a moderator could edit the thread title, that'd be great. It'd be even better if the thread starter could get it right to begin with, but, I mean, you know, we understand what we are dealing with here.

    Its a make for a couple of games lost due to the lock out from the first week of the season. They had to stuff it in somewhere. I remember looking at schedules before they reworked things and there weren't any other logical make up dates for both teams. One would have a day off, and the other would be playing. Oakland have a day off and Detroit would have a day off, but it would necessitate a cross country trip for Detroit from the east to the west (for one day) back to the east. Things like that. Just by luck of the draw, the Tigers were supposed to open out west (Oakland and Seattle) and travel makes rescheduling tough. And so now beginning next season, every team will play against every other MLB team (which I do like that concept), but rescheduling postponed games could prove equally tough.

    I think everybody needs this upcoming all star break.
