The thing that worries me about Goldschmidt is that his SO% and BB% have been in decline for a few years, moreso his SO%. Another season of decline and he might just end up being the same as Torkelson. So, with respect to this swapping of players, I'm not sure how much the older player would be an upgrade over the younger player.

I think Torkleson gets this season. I know there’s clamoring to get another 1B into town. Thing is, the Tigers already have Torkelson (albeit, not without merited question), Carpenter, and Malloy. That’s 3 different DHs that are hoped to be average in the field if/when they take the field. I think if they bring someone else in, it’s likely a 3B. I suppose they could demote or trade one of Torkelson/Malloy, or even trade Carpenter, but that seems doubtful.

You’re cracking me up.

Yup, I missed that one. E - Casimir.

I'd say signing Kim is more smart than bold, but that's just my opinion

I don't know what to make of Navigato. I suspect he's a 4A IF, but I don't know. If they keep him and give him a shot at the roster, that's fine. I liked the acquisition of Leonard. He had injury and struggled a bit upon return last season. I expect him to be added to the 40 but I'm not sure he has a spot on the 26 quite yet. I still like the idea of acquiring Kim (like his combination of offense and defense even if his power might be limited), allowing him his recovery early in the season, and using that time to determine what to do with Baez. Now, whether that means a left side of the IF of Sweeney and Baez on a mostly everyday basis or not, I don't know, but I would be fine with it early on. But I also think Kim is under the radar enough that a 2 year deal is reasonable for both sides. It allows to use free agent / trade capital elsewhere.

Walking pneumonia is the what all the cool kids are getting these days.

Yes, I’m sure there are multiple avenues for the Tampa Tarpons to get their home games in.

Its the FSL. Do they play the weeklong at one park schedule? They could probably get by with moving to another nearby FSL park or split up the series between Tampa and the other team as needed.

Obviously.

Somebody here posted a theory that the back/hip and age had reduced his bat speed and to compensate for it he began to swing earlier. Seems rational enough, but who knows if that's exactly what it was.

For a political party that fears misconstruing of genders and likes to focus on being men being rugged and tough, they sure do have some "leadership folks" that test some of those boundaries.

I'm not sure its quite that simple. The NBA can be a game of runs. And also consider that teams are likely to look past the Pistons given how awful they've been the past several seasons. I think the Pistons are taking some teams by surprise early on. It might not last long. At the very least, they appear to be more competitive on the floor. And, sure, up 18 and lose in OT. They were missing some key cogs to start the game and then lost another one during the game. Plus this was the second OT game in a row. Plus they probably don't know what to do with themselves when they're up 18 and the opponent comes roaring back.

This might be more true than we would like it to be.

Hey, this is a family site. You take that smut elsewhere.

I don’t know. Just by age, Trump is closer to the end than Vance. We know Trump has no empathy for anything but himself. Vance might be just as selfish, but we don’t know for sure. At some point Vance spoke against Trump. I don’t know, his flip flop is quite odd, but maybe he’s like the rest of MAGA and just sees a gravy train led by Trump as long as they convey all fealty to him.

I don’t think ‘Merica realizes what is possible with this looney bin. The first term should’ve been quite obvious that he wasn’t fit to return to office. Just think, around half the people you’ve encountered today (assuming they voted) voted for this worthless ****. Our best bet is he croaks soon.

I’m not really sure what was said that crossed a line. The gloating and not answering questions directly is annoying as all get out, but seriously, this deserves a public shaming?

It’s pretty much all a joke.

I think we as a group start talking with Ha-seong Kim's people and take care of 3B for Harris. I'd say we offer 2/$25M pending a reasonable chance that he's a productive IF by Memorial Day. I think we can do that. I just don't know how we get the checkbook from the Tigers, but I'm open to suggestions.

I was looking at a few things between he and Burger. I think I'd prefer Vierling at 3B rather than Burger.

Thanks to all 1,627 of you in the arena.

That was frightening. The collision itself and then the time of the delay and the towels being extended to block views. I would suspect he's evaluated for a concussion for sure. His head hit Duren's knee and I guess I don't remember if his head also hit the floor or not.

The unforced turnovers are just maddening. I didn't realize it during the game and only caught it when looking at the box score this morning. Quite the FT discrepancy, 24 of 28 for Detroit and 10 of 13 for Miami.

Wow.
