Could Clingan and Duren be on the floor at the same time or would you move Duren?

I’d say any kind of offensive contribution out of Baez would be a factor, too. I don’t know if Carpenter means that much to the offense or if his absence was the absolute last straw. I’d venture to say if Greene were dinged up instead of Carpenter, this team would be in a similar malaise.

Wherever the blame lies, and it’s probably some to both, it’s got to change.

If/when they trade Flaherty, it gets really thin assuming Manning Is the replacement. And who knows, maybe Foley gets moved as well.

Now you see why we are the way we is.

Tres bien.

Carpe diem, baby

I think for both it was more of a 50/50 call than it was definitive yes or no. Candelario had seen success, but also failure. He was only on the hook for one more season at most. Castro was still young and cheap, but had his issues. And who knows, maybe they needed a fresh start elsewhere for themselves anyway. Maybe they don't see success if they stay in Detroit. But then that begs the question, what's going on in Detroit?

If you believe Baseball Reference, WIlli Castro is a 5 WAR player over 700 PAs with the Twins.

Not touched by AI.

To be clear, I'm not calling him a bust. He definitely should get a longer look. Those minor league numbers suggest he should.

Do you really think Vierling is a long term 3B consideration? I guess maybe "long term" is the key to it. Or maybe another way to put it is he's basically an everyday player that can handle moving around defensively.

Does Keith have a severe aversion to people touching his head?

Just like the Pistons’ playoff chances.

Speaking of, did Uncle Terry get fired? I don’t miss those awful commercials.

ChiSux.

Nice weed in the middle of the cement. What kind of establishment are you running over there?

Baez to DH?

This is your best post ever.

More points for the dark blues, please.

Foley’s got you. No worries.

I’ve been wondering about your driveway lately.

Did you tell him the MTF family said what’s up?

Well, you’ve got to at least admit seeing a rookie on an eight year deal is curious.

His SO rate is better than league average, I do like that. But his BB rate and his H rate are below league average as well.
