Baddoo? Sure, no argument here. Cameron? What has he shown to be promoted?

OK, let's just understand that, yes, small sample size applies. But given the conversation at hand.... Go, Willi, go!

I was actually thinking the same thing watching him play RF on Fri/Sat. And I have not had a beer in a week. I don't know if its RF specifically or if he's just becoming more accustomed to playing OF in general. He may not be able to put it all together, but at least there seems to be something clicking lately.

I think this is more of an apt description. Success in basketball, more than any other sport (save for a hot goalie in a series), can be driven by a few players. Get 2 or 3 superstars to stay healthy and play with their heads in the goals for the team, surround them with decent role players, and that's likely a recipe for success.

Au contraire, mon freire, he's leading the league in injured players.

Does every team need to send a player? How about the Tigers send a trainer?

He could still be juiced from Memorial Day.

Well, yesterday’s game was better than today’s, so I’d consider that a win. I turned in around the 3rd today and had no issues.

He’s never faced MLB pitching before, so there is that obvious learning curve. He’s probably never struggled like this on a baseball field before. That’s got to be a new experience for him that he’s simply got to figure out. I would think if Torkleson is completely overmatched mentally, Hinch would have convinced the Tiger brass to send him down by now.

I’m listening to Dan & Jim.

We’re allowed one nice thing at a time. It’s Greene’s turn to be that nice thing.

The baseball doesn’t matter. Squeezing every possible nickel out of every possible pocket is the objective at hand.

The kid ain’t even 23 yet. And he’s not the only underperforming bat on the roster.

MLB trying to grow the game but cutting off accessibility. That’s how you earn market share, right?

When will the Pistons be broadcast?

Then he went on to say that the Lions didn't deserve Matt Stafford.

I thought the opening triple was ample warning. But I guess the Royals had to learn the hard way. Well, c’est la vie.

Eat it, Kansas City.

Bobby Witt Jr ain’t bad.

His career to date is less than inspiring, no argument. But I don’t mind taking a chance on him given his career his been in New York and he’s still plenty young. It’s a reasonable enough deal, if he doesn’t improve, it’s a dumpable contract.

I’m glad it wasn’t the Pistons’ turn to draft at the top when he entered the draft.

This was on an 0-2 pitch. With two strike counts, Greene doesn’t choke up, the pitcher does.

For crying out loud, let's score some damn points today, ok?

It brings to mind the concept that was floated about draft slots going around to teams based on a 30 year cycle rather than winning percentage & lottery. How fun would that be to implement now with 1sts being tossed around like candy at a parade?

Promotion / relegation involving the B10 would have been fun in 2008, eh? Its really a dumb concept to try to organize competitive balance for one season based on a prior season when there is so much player movement from team to team (graduating/transferring players in college, free agency/trades in professional). And I would say its only a consideration on this soil because of the increasing popularity of soccer (and they do it, so its kewl), and its different than what 'Murican sports have traditionally done (its different so its kewl).
