Nope. No evidence in the college threads.

We're missing the obvious. They're pitching to Javy Baez like he's Neifi Perez. Its just that simple.

During the rainout? Hmmmm….. you might be onto something.

I agree that he was resigned in part because he was well liked. It may have been a situation where the Tigers let him shop himself around with the understanding that they would be willing to bid above. Now as far as Ilitch not spending the money elsewhere, I disagree. That was his drunken sailor era. Perhaps he wouldn’t have signed anyone else that offseason (I really don’t remember when it occurred and who else was out there), but he wasn’t shy about making it rain. The Prince Fielder signing is an example of that.

Sure, if they’re hitting the bonus thresholds, then they’re doing what they were signed to do.

It’s not the fans’ problem directly. Primarily I hope the Tigers add talent. It’s easy to think that comes with salary, and generally that’s the case in free agency. I go back to the second deal they signed with Victor Martinez. That salary would have been better spent elsewhere. Seattle was rumored to be interested at the time. The Tigers could have used that salary space for someone more productive and gotten a pick as well.

And away we go! Please, nobody get hurt.

Fog on the field from Morris’ ego during pregame.

Ah, the bonuses, I'm thinking the opt in years. I is a idiot.

As long as it doesn't involve disappointing results for the Pistons, bring it.

Never understood the lack of acknowledgement of opportunity cost and the realization that teams don't have unlimited budgets.

That's a fun box score. NBA player Danny Ainge is in there. The Underwood brothers started and accounted for 52 of the 54 outs recorded in the game and had game scores of 80 and 75. The game was played in a crisp 112 minutes.

As long as he did it without injury, that’s cool.

Javier Baez = Neifi Perez as an example.

What's the over/under on Detroit 40 man Ps on the IL on July 14th?

I wouldn't rule it out. If there is somehow an angle to it where MLB can chase some nickels, it'll happen.

It would make perfect sense with the way this season is going.

Damn'it, I forgot the "with all due respect" opener above.

This might be the worst idea I've ever seen you post. Well, there is the "conversation" about Neifi & Javy, but I think that thread has its own special degree of absurd. I steadfastly hate the promotion/relegation thing. I think setting up groups of teams based on the previous season's standings is awful. Each season of play should be its own entity and the previous season should determine divisions/playoffs of the current/next season.

I just offered slight disappointment. And then you had to go ahead and add a kick to the sensitives.

I was the only person in my three person department at work yesterday. Some whippersnapper popped into my office and noticed it and mentioned the sole active office. I replied with "one lonely beastie I be, all by myself without no-body". The reaction was a blank stare. And then I realized , damn, I'm getting old.

Starting to look like someone broked two mirrors.

What's more stale? The current offense or the gum in that box?

False. It'll be rained out.

Ichiro was not a bum!
