Story is my "Grossman" signing. I would be extremely pleased with a signing of Story as our SS for at least the next 2 years (please no "1 and done" opt-out... at least 2 years before opt-outs come into play, please...).

I don't think at 34 next year that Cobb gets the same term. A 1 or 2 year deal for him would be a nice stopgap for the Tigers...

I'll sign on to this and be thankful for the same...!

I wasn't even thinking about Eduardo... But I am hugely, pleasantly pleased that AA "salvaged" him over to the Tigers. I'm also very pleased that he salvaged Haase, Baddoo, Candelario, Grossman, and others. That bad vibe is entirely inside your head, of your own making.

I'll take a Lions win please. And Happy Thanksgiving to all...!!! (Staying home with my daughter for a quiet, uneventful day...)

Does that take park effects into account? Because Eduardo played his entire career at Fenway. He's going to get a good boost by switching over to Comerica. Matz played his career at NY Mets, and Toronto... Eduardo: avg 2.6 WAR per year, and 1.29 WHIP average prior to last year. Last year he was a bit worse (1st year he allowed more hits than innings, 1.39 WHIP instead of his 1.29-ish...). And 29 versus 31 (to start next season). He's not an ace. He's an innings eating workhorse that slots in at #3 or 4 in a rotation and provides huge stability and above average pitching. I think Matz is a more than a minor drop-off from that and, at 31 to start next year, I'll take the Eduardo deals hands-over-fist over this Matz deal.

Fabbri!!!

I'm not ready yet for that kind of self-inflicted punishment...

Shush...

Or... he just needs to step up. But... I thought Hronek was playing a bit better this year? He doesn't have that horrendous +/- he usually has... Or he's being protected somehow by Blashill....?

Maybe we just give it some more time and Suter's line starts hitting net instead of posts... But... We'll see.

Man... we need a second line center that can actually make that 2nd line workable...

Larkin pulled a double shift and scored with assists from Zadina & Fabbri?

No one. Depth guy (AAAA) defenseman. Guess who signed him out of college? Yep! Detroit in 2016. Played a couple games with us. A few with Colorado.

Ray with the White Sox would really, really suck. Semien with them doesn't bother me quite as much... But I would definitely hate Ray being on their staff.

I already stated this before he signed... I think it's too much years and money for this pitcher... I ain't/ wasn't interested and definitely not on these terms. I think there is better, for less money/ years.

It's the mother's choice. End of discussion.

Completely FULL of IT... yet again.

Correct. Credit where credit is due. Correct again. Bottom line: Trump's posturing and circus act with respect tp these two accomplished nothing. His tariff's in fact, gained us retribution tariffs that hammered midwestern and other farmers drastically. Anyone with a brain knew China would respond in exactly that manner. Sadly, Trump, like the Scarecrow, doesn't have a brain.

I was going to say something to that... But G2 said a lot of what I wanted to say. I would agree with sloth that Ras has the looks of a 3rd-line defensive center. But... I think he can also be a playmaker as well. Yeah, he's not as good around the net as he should be, and isn't physical, or doesn't know how to use his physical advantage... But to G2's point... he should at least be strong on the puck and a strong possession player... which we haven't seen that much of from him. Sloth says Ras is still quite stiff even with skating improvements and I have to agree. At least from what I've seen. In order to make the jump from point A (defensive center) to point B (defensive center that can control the puck/ possession, and be a dangerous offensive playmaker)... He needs to get stronger/ better balance on his skates, not get knocked off the puck, and improve his puck control/ stick handling abilities. I see him get knocked off the puck too often, or the puck is taken away from him when he had "control" of it on his stick, despite his size and "improved skating". I don't know if he can get there. But I would like to think he can.

Hurry up and check out all the Bibles in there and surrounding churches and make that contribution to the book burning pile.

This.

It is alive. Dependent. On its mother. But alive. Not yet an independent human being. And if there's a miscarriage or other mishap it may never become independent. But it is alive.

But it's the right that shits all over people. It's the right that paints swastikas on synagogues and murders black kids in churches. And calls other people "from shithole countries' or good Americans "Jihadists". It's the white trash scumbag bigots that are the worst lowlifes in this scenario. Who treats everyone else with absolute contempt if they're a different color, or religion, or ethnicity. You're nowhere close to the truth on this one Archie Bunker.
