Absolutely right. It's ludicrous to say that there isn't enough pitching, both managers are incompetent if they couldn't allocate their supplies properly to meet their commitments. It is a callous disregard for customers and their families.
-
Yep, both years.
-
People don't have to be embarrassed about being stupid now, they can actually be proud of it.

I am one of the resident Canadians here, but I will tell you my favourite NJ association. Richard Jenne doing stand-up, pretending to be on the stage at a political convention, announcing the delegates, their home state, and their state motto: "from New Jersey, the 'what the fuck are you lookin' at?' state..."

Avila and his staff consistently improve the team every off-season, they do a good job at the draft, at Rule 5, at free agency, and at trades. I don't see why this deal would surprise anyone except the "should of got more for JD" types.
-
Yeah, sorry fellas, he is playing this year and next year.
-
And, they were stupid enough to work for him in the first place.

Al Avila: “You’ve got to go full bore from Day 1"

This team is better than you think it is. -
It's very gerrymandered. Last time he got 49% of the vote and 66% of the seats.
-
He's injury-prone.

The veterans need to teach the younger players how to win, -
I don't like Bill Maher because of the whiny snark.
-
You're right, he was traded. Al Avila unloaded that contract, wow, he should get a lot more credit for that.
-
I'm fuzzy on the details of Upton's time here. He had a ridiculous contract from Mike I., but with an opt-out I think? And he opted out, much to the Tigers' relief, and took a contract from the Angels for less AAV but more years? I am just trying to remember, if he had not opted out would he still be on the Tigers' payroll in 2022?

Barnhart picks off Gleyber Torres...at second base lol!
-
wtf?
-
He was just nauseating as a player when he was interviewed, he would keep talking and talking and you could tell that he was auditioning for broadcasting even back then.
-
It's Bert but we do look alike
-
If there is another site that has people who are more sophisticated about politics than we are, he should spend a lot more time there, and a lot less time here.

I agree with that, and in the last 40 years there have been, as far as I can recall, 3 players who were drafted and developed who meet your definition of "above average": Travis Fryman, Bobby Higginson, and Curtis Granderson. That's it, 3 guys in 40 years. Pretty tough to hang all that on Chris Ilitch.
-
Wow. If that is true, it is another catastrophic failure of leadership.
-
I've had Moderna Pfizer Pfizer. 4th shot isn't available to me but my wife has had it.
-
It has been 45 years since the Tigers consistently added good young talent to the organization, year after year. Maybe these last 2 drafts will prove to be different
-
Yes, all the development in the world won't correct poor choices made in talent acquisition.
-
In order to bottom out for 5 years you need to have been just abysmal at identifying and developing talent for the previous 10 years.
