So, these are many more than the 4 jobs listed on Fangraphs. I count 14 although some of these are not in analytics (one is security supervisor others are in marketing etc.) https://www.teamworkonline.com/baseball-jobs/baseballjobs/detroit-tigers

Tork will have to be a very special RH hitting 1st baseman to justify that draft pick. I can only think of one of those in recent Tiger history. Yes, Chris Shelton.

You qualify as one of the tongue wagging nerds

My gut tells me similar. I'll be voting as if the country depends on it. Hopefully the other college educated suburbanites who used to form the core of GOP vote feel the same.

Virginia is a bit scary. Way too many Youngkin signs in houses who would never have had Trump signs. I think the prospect of any pol who embraces Trump winning here is really frightening.

don't they start play today? Hmmm...I'll keep an eye on that. Kreidler can pitch. Edit: nope...they start tomorrow.

The test is if Tork plays much 3B this fall.

aka Russia B#tch per Trump.

Fair enough. It was just a hypothesis.

All he needs to do is praise Trump and he'll have a grift for life.

and then ban him for life

Roger Goodell should forgive him.

Upon learning of the execution, the French writer, philosopher and playwright Voltaire satirically wrote that the British needed to occasionally execute an admiral from time to time, “in order to encourage the others.” Although his comments were written as a form of mockery, surprisingly, the observation was entirely accurate.

One minor league manager was let go.

Wild speculation, but some of the facts fit.

I can buy that. I do wonder if the new guys coming in for player development weren't "torqued" that Tork didn't get that development time at the higher value 3B position.

The story about Riley Greene having a concussion seems leaked to me. Spencer Torkelson to AFL appears designed to fix the "mistake" of Prince not playing him at 3B at all which combined with Prince being a Littlefield guy meant Prince was gone. However, that hypothesis might be debunked by Torkelson not playing any 3B in AFL. Torkelson might just want to play a bit more in front of family.

Sports radio narrative land has the least efficient form of government and its economy is based on schadenfreude.

Its going to be an interesting game and I don't think I'll be able to watch it live because it might kill me. I'm emotionally invested for sure. State having a good offense is scary. We've overcome a couple of tough roadies. Nebraska had their backs up against the wall. We took over Jump Around in Wisconsin. What that means for State? It means we are better on the road than we've been. That's all. Godspeed Jim Harbaugh and coaches to get us a game plan for this year.

State has an emotional advantage?

So you had them 9-3 before the season?

Putin got "Civil Wars Coming" trending overnight.

Trump might have been reelected if he had won Republican voters in the suburbs.

I wonder if all the hints about Ted Lasso and Jim Harbaugh might be indicative that Harbaugh was dealing with mental health issues for some period. He appears to have his mojo back.

Texas A&M almost got Alabama on the mat. Hmmm
