2024 - 2025 Detroit Tigers Offseason
Motor City Sonics replied to AlaskanTigersFan's topic in Detroit Tigers
I have a feeling he's not going to be on anyone's roster on Opening Day if these numbers are real. Takes a lot of nerve to ask that the year after your OBP falls off a cliff. Tigers do need a bat, but I think they'd be better off with the rotating 3b situation. AJ likes making so many in-game moves anyway. If they can do for Jace Jung what they did for Parker Meadows and Colt Keith, we might be way better off than sinking 27-30 mil a year into one declining player. -
2024 - 2025 Detroit Tigers Offseason

Wow, Bregman really thinks he's better than he is. Now I get it, you ask for more than you want so you can appear like you are "coming down" to match an offer. But 11 years and $350? . Even if the nutso Mets and Dodgers wanted a 3rd baseman, with the way they throw money around, wouldn't bite on that. -
But the Rams also traded a bunch of high round draft capital and they keep rolling along. Because they can draft better in the 3rd/4th round than many teams can in the 1st or 2nd and that's the system our GM comes from. Whatever they're doing with scouting and evaluation, it's working. If I was looking for a GM for my team, I'd be looking for someone in the Rams or Lions organizations. The Niners kind of got lucky. They overspent for Trey Lance, who is a bust but then turned around and got their starting QB with the last pick of a draft. But how good is he? The Niners are in a very tough spot here. Brock Purdy is going to want high end QB money, and I am not sure he's much more than Daniel Jones. He was put into a great situation with lots of pieces in place and a great head coach for a QB, but I just don't think Purdy is a 40 mil a year guy. I think what's happened with the Niners is several years of long playoff runs have put extra mileage on their players and it all caught up at once. Bowing out early this year gives them more time to heal for next year, where they could be really good again. So they need more of a reset than a rebuild, at least for the next year or two. This has happened, to a lesser degree, to the Chiefs too, but they have weathered it much better. Kind of helps when your Tackle false starts and never gets called and the league wants Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl every year.

I feel like the Jets were really stupid in firing Robert Saleh, but actually for Robert, it was a great move. He's away from that mess. I don't think he was the reason the Jets were terrible. I think he gets another shot at being a Head Coach (as long as he has a No Prima Donna QB clause). If Aaron Glenn gets the Saints or some other Head Coaching job, I wouldn't mind the Lions bringing Saleh in as a DC.

While the Wings flop around like fish out of water, the Pistons are a team that fights. This team that won 14 games all of last year is now 13-17 and may equal last year's win total before the New Year. They beat the Lakers on the road. They could have melted down with this "West Coast Road Trip" excuse thing that the Wings used this year. They've been up and down, but they scratch and claw in most games and rarely get blown out and are only a couple of plays away from being .500, which doesn't seem like much, but for this team it's a near miraculous turnaround. So now the Lions, Tigers and now the Pistons have all passed the Red Wings. This lifeless squad is back at the bottom. Ken Holland's been gone for six years now, can't blame him anymore. (and Jaden Ivey is a much more important player than most of us believed, they are a much better team when he plays. Monty Williams wouldn't play him last year). If the Pistons can turn things around, why can't the Wings?

You say that hiring the old red wings boys club had failed, but you want Larianov to come coach? Has he coached before?

Doesn't seem to be any urgency on or off the ice. Just a throwaway season. Is that what you want to sell to your season ticket holders? Sick of waiting. No excuse for this. Everyone should be on the hot seat. Absolutely everyone.

Does anyone remember this.................were any of you there Tigers playing the Brewers. Saturday, June 9, 2001 Ray King comes into pitch for Milwaukee in the bottom of the 8th. Bobby Higginson hits a ground ball dribbler down the first baseline. King picks it up and doesn't just tag Higginson but swipes at him hard and Higginson took exception (as he should have). The two benches clear, but not a whole lot is going on, just a gathering of puffed out chests, basically. A fan jumps out of the LF stands (bullpen was still in right back then). and starts running towards the gathering by first base, he gets to the edge of the dirt between SS and 3B when the ball boy in the left field corner bolts from his chair and tackles this dude by the mound. It was incredible and the crowd and players from both teams were cheering him. I think the kid's name was Jeremy Jackson (there was a brief newspaper write-up the next day), he was a high school football player, but man did he close on that guy. What was that guy gonna do when he got to the players? Get in the fight? Did he think the Tigers players would back him up or something? I think after he hit the ball Higginson said "you mother f***er" and King thought was was talking about him when Higginson was saying it to himself. He was from Philly after all, that's practically a Christmas greeting there.

The Lions have no chance to win this game in SF on Monday. The Lions haven't beaten the 49ers at San Francisco since 1975. The Lions are 3-18 vs. San Francisco in the last 40 years. Not only are the Lions going to lose next Monday night. They're going to lose by at least 13 points. Just like....... The Lions have never beaten Dak Prescott The Lions haven't beaten Houston since Friends was still on TV

Derek Bender is the name of the minor league catcher who was tipping pitches to our Lakeland hitters so his team would lose because he wanted the season to be over. Obviously the Twins released him right away. Will this guy ever get another shot? He was a good hitter in college.

Many years ago (about 2006 or so) I got a credit card from Best Buy. Within a day of it being issued someone had used it to charge over $1500 of merch at several stores in the Novi area. I hadn't even received my physical card yet. A second card was issued (without my approval) and the name on the card was someone with my mother's maiden name. There was no address attached to that second card. So, I think I was safe in assuming that someone who worked for Best Buy saw my application and saw my mother's maiden name and used the card number that had been issued. I brought this to their attention and they didn't really care. I have never shopped at Best Buy since. Had to be one of their employees for it to be done so quickly.

I should clarify that it's an external and I may have dropped it because it sounds like something is loose. I don't remember dropping it, however. We had a power outage at one point when I was at work because my oven and microwave clocks were off by several hours and it's possible when the power kicked back on something happened to it.
