I thought we already decided this a week ago...?

How is that unethical? That's the very definition of his JOB.

ENG by Cat... 6-3... Hope that does it.

Weren't some of them 13? Jerry Lee Lewis would be proud...

Gross.

It still deserves Thanks and Love...

Here's a thought: If MAGA doesn't believe Trump is Pedo... How about we describe him more accurately: Statutory RAPIST Donald J. Trump That works for me. The accuracy, I mean.

Right... But my point was that McGonigle may be a better fielder at SS than Bichette (I don't know the answer to that). So it might have to be Bichette that is OK with sliding to 3B if McGonigle is up in Detroit and proves to be the better fielding SS.

Since Harris made an actual offer to Bregman last year... There is some reality to that projection.

How much flak would we get by sitting all our starters? We could tell the league office this is our "Critical Bench Players Development Game".

IE: New Jersey: $450K home = $12K per year in property taxes. Same $450K home in PA = $6K property tax. As a ballpark figure that is...

What are property taxes in or around Detroit? People tend to forget to take into account property as another form of tax. Property Taxes in New York, New Jersey, and California, for example, are wildly higher than PA/ FL... for example. I don't know what they are in Texas or Michigan though... for comparison.

If we signed Bichette with the express purpose of playing 3B... I could see him as a 1B or 1A to Bregman. Not as good OBP, but much younger and therefore less Age Risk Exposure. I could definitely get on board with that, thinking in those terms. And... he could even be signed (with his knowledge) as a SS/3B... holding SS until McGonigle is ready for MLB. That gives less pressure to force McGonigle onto Detroit's roster "RIGHT NOW!!!"... just in case he is not quite yet ready. And if Rainer moves quickly, or if/when he is ready for Detroit... The best SS of the 3 holds the spot, the other two are at 2B and 3B,

How could it be otherwise? Trump was a major supplier of Epstein's underaged girls.

I AM one and I want this MF'ing SCUMBAG out of the White House. ASAP. Or sooner than that.

McGonigle may not be a perfect-fielding SS... But is he any worse than Bichette? So... If the team actually believes McGonigle is ready for MLB... then Bregman is the better fit. And, we still have Baez and McKinstry so, IMO, SS really is covered.

FIRST CHOICE: I want Bregman AND Tucker. Fat chance that...

PS: If we have a chance at signing Skubal to a long-term contract... I think those chances are SIGNIFICANTLY higher if we sign Bregman or Tucker, or both, this winter. IMO.

1) I like how this was put... and agree with it. For the most part that is... 2) Harris can certainly "put money where the Tigers' mouth is"... But this is Boras. I believe absolutely, 100%, that the contract Skubal ends up with is going to be too rich for Detroit. Both in years and in $$$'s. Simply put, a bigger market, whether that is the Yankees or the Mets or the Phillies or... Whomever, is going to price Skubal out of Detroit. I would be surprised if we somehow get Skubal to stay in Detroit beyond 2026. Not impossible... but I believe that also is a 10-1 shot. 3) Which is different than your 100-1 on Tucker. But... then I go back to your earlier statement that signing one guy can do wonders for this team. It could be Skubal, that would be great... I just seriously doubt it. And even if the odds are 100-1 on Bregman or Tucker signing with Detroit, or 1000-1 that we sign both... I put them in the same basket of "signing the right guy". I think these are the right guys to provide veteran leadership to this team. I think they are the right guys that specifically fall into Harris's philosophy of "controlling the strike zone". I think they are the right guys that have championship level knowledge and wisdom that they can impart upon the rest of the team. 4) Pitchers break down. Maybe Skubal is Verlander-esque or Nolan Ryan-esque and is just a pitching machine that never breaks down. It's just not the bet I want to make. I prefer Tucker and Bregman, both, however unrealistic that may be. I think they are the right guys to go after. IMO.

Are you on the "Bregman Watch List"? Let us know ASAP as soon as it happens!!!

How does he play TE in college after draft-dodging Vietnam with bone spurs? What a gutless MF'ing hypocritical scumbag. Oh... but I'll bet he's your hero, right Holic? Simply for weaseling outta Vietnam like the lying gutless ****scum that he is... that deserves your hero worship, right Holic?
