And it's OK to do that now, it's a source of pride.

I don't remember anyone at all here being happy that Dombrowski left. Perhaps there were some, but I don't remember them.

The 3% are an elite group with a PTP of 100%, both front and back. They are resented by those in the mainstream PTP ranks.

Every country has those people, the ones who were only 50-50 to be successfully potty trained, but it seems like that percentage of the population is increasing. It probably is not, it's just that we underestimated it before. But now, after the past 8 or 10 years, people don't have to be embarrassed about being stupid anymore, they can actually be proud of it and shout it out.

I have to go find a "Charlie don't surf" T-shirt with Manson's face on it.

Everybody probably likes Correa better than the guy they already have, and nobody is going to give him Lindor's contract.

I've heard that he uses Tarot cards.

Yes, I think that the whole premise that a "win" is worth $9 million is easily proven to be false by the simple fact that no one is going to pay $45 million for 5 "wins".

Correa isn't getting 10 years from anyone at this point, so that by itself doesn't rule the Tigers out. He might spend the rest of his career on 1 year deals if he continues to insist on Lindor's AAV, but I don't think that Harris will even do that. I think he will view that Twins contract as an overpay.

When you watch him and listen to him, it seems likely that he was very stupid even before all the head trauma. It would be interesting to watch an interview of him in university.

Yes, do the organization first.

It seems more like they are offering to share him with the rest of you!

Who looks like Meryl Streep!

He never really stopped being a free agent, he just kicked it down the road for a year. He did stay in the lineup for 136 games, which is not too bad but you wouldn't want to see much less. I don't think that $340 million is any more likely this year than it was last year.

That's really good.

Cut the awards by $1 million if he wants, if he agrees to have his vocal chords removed.

Workman fanned 206 times in 515 PA'a, that's astounding. He has some power and can run the bases, but it's hard to see him having much success at higher levels.

Ha ha not obvious enough I guess.

Palacios isn't a switch hitter. The Tigers like switch hitting utility infielders who can't hit lefthanded. You can play them and their .620 OPS in a corner outfield spot. So, Palacios isn't staying.

I lived in Winnipeg for a year, a long time ago, and if you were 100 yards from the intersection and the light turned yellow it meant "hit the gas pedal hard".

And I don't think that they will release him, and he won't accept any of the "creative solutions" dreamed about by some, and therefore he's on the opening day roster.

So, you either give him a spot on the team, or you give him his outright release. Simple. No fantasizing about "creative solutions". Choose one or the other.

Cabrera wasn't a prima donna last spring, so I don't know why he would be next spring. He openly said that Baez was going to lead the team. As for "the team is bad so might as well keep Miggy", that was never said by anyone here. No one wants Cabrera on the team, but not many people want to release him either. So there we are. I don't think that there is any middle ground to fantasize about. The guy who gets the blame is dead, and there is nothing that Avila or Harris can do about it.

Yes I had thought that we were finished with that.

Yes, you don't have any choice other than to DFA him, same as it has ever been.
