    Really? Who is your 5? I think you need at least 8 starters going into the season. He could be a bullpen/depth guy even if he is not in the Opening Day rotation. I do expect a couple of our young guys to have injuries at some point. Even with a full Spring Training I would expect that. I like Tyler Alexander in the same role they've used him the last two years. 1. Mize 2. Rodriguez 3. Skubal 4. Manning Other than that, the options seem to be Tyler Alexander, Rony Garcia, Reese Olson, Joey Wentz. That's a lot of uncertainty. They still need 2 guys. One of them could be Peralta.

    Re-sign Wily Peralta. Even if he's just a depth guy.

    With four divisions you could have a set up where the 2nd and 3rd place teams play each other for the right to face the #1 team in the division. Maybe even make all 3 games at the 2nd place team's park to give them an advantage. Sure, you'll have some year's where the 4th place team in the West has a better record than the 3rd place team in the East, but Dems Da Breaks !

    Well the Dodgers went further than the Giants. Plus there is the argument that having a bye might not be a good thing. We always felt it hurt the 2006 Tigers to be idle so long before the World Series.
  7. Motor City Sonics
    Maybe setting things up to go back to 4 divisions. If they aren't going to emphasize divisional rivalries as much, then why not. I think you can have 8 teams in one and 7 in the other and be just fine. There is the idea of expanding, but I can't see any kind of expansion right now until Oakland and Tampa Bay resolve their issues. I think the A's are headed to Las Vegas (Portland won't support a major league team, plus that city is a total political mess). The weaker Canadian dollar hurts the chance of Montreal getting a team. So other than Vegas what do you have? Nashville, which I think would be a great spot for a team and then it gets pretty thin after that. The Cardinals and Reds are not going to allow a team in Indianapolis. Ditto with the Yankees, Mets and Phillies allowing a team in New Jersey. I don't know how viable Charlotte is and as much as I think Austin, Texas could support a team, the Rangers and Astros will stop it. I think it's more likely the A's move to Vegas and the Rays move to Nashville than both of those teams staying where they are.

    Do you watch NBA games? It's barely noticeable. I would hope it's a patch on the arm instead of the front of the jersey
  9. Motor City Sonics
    yeah, but now we have this limit of call up/send downs that makes that really tricky too. they have to expand the rosters. they are asking for trouble. spring training is going to be three weeks? how many exhibition games, 10?
  10. Motor City Sonics
    I think teams should be allowed to carry 28 players and 15 pitchers in the first month. I know guys work out year-round now, but I am really really worried about pitchers, especially young pitchers, like ours.
  11. Motor City Sonics
    What is the roster breakdown going to be at the start.............11 players, 15 pitchers? 12/14. There's no way pitchers are going to throw more than 60 pitches in the first month or so..........

    Carlos Correa.................Dodgers? Phillies? Yankees?

    Okay, so fewer divisional games, here's how this might work. Divisional 12 x 4 = 48 League 6 x10 = 60 Interleague Matching Division (Central) 4x4 = 16 Interleague Other Divisions 3x10 = 30 Interleague "Buddy" team 8x1 = 8 (Pittsburgh for us) 48 + 60 + 16 + 30 + 8 = 162 We still get to see the Royals, Twins, White Sox and Guardians 6 times at Comerica Buddy Teams NY Yankees - NY Mets Boston - Philadelphia Tampa Bay - Miami Baltimore - Washington Toronto - Atlanta Chi White Sox - Chi Cubs Cleveland - Cincinnati Detroit - Pittsburgh Kansas City - St. Louis Minnesota - Milwaukee LA Angels - LA Dodgers Oakland - San Francisco Seattle - San Diego Texas - Colorado Houston - Arizona Houston, Texas, Seattle get hard to match up, but the rest of the "Buddy" teams make perfect sense. I actually like this more. I get tired of the same boring teams. This could help everyone get a chance to see superstars from other divisions and other leagues. Dodgers would play here this year, we'd play there next year
  15. Motor City Sonics
    Are teams getting a grace period where they get to keep 15 pitchers and 28 overall players, at least for the first month? There are going to be a lot of 3 inning starts
  16. Motor City Sonics
    No 13-loss team (that didn't win a conference tournament) has ever gotten in. Punchy & Crew should not be the mold-breaker.
  17. Motor City Sonics
    I don't thin Michigan's getting in. They sure don't deserve it and it would be proper if the committee that decides it says the behavior of their coach was a main reason.
  18. Motor City Sonics
    Could it be that the 8 are very highly paid? Max Scherzer, Francisco Lindor, Marcus Semien, Gerrit Cole................they are half the committee, right?
  19. Motor City Sonics
    What if Tork and Greene look overmatched in the 9 game exhibition season?
  20. Motor City Sonics
    Did they do anything about the shift?
  21. Motor City Sonics
    So will the Tigers home opener just be the season opener now?
  22. Motor City Sonics
    Carlos Correa signs 12 year, 460 million deal with Phillies kidding.............
  23. Motor City Sonics
    But was Woodson raised by Chicago?
  24. Motor City Sonics
    Punchy The Clown - welcome back. I missed the game, did Punchy threaten anyone today? He's a joke. His second season was a total fluke.
  25. Motor City Sonics
    Maybe Ned just isn't a #1 goalie. Maybe he's a really good backup or a good co-lead, but he hit a wall. maybe he has an injury that we don't know about. Still, has been a good season but they are showing they need to take a big step. This was a really good transition year, but this young team may be a bit burned out. The playoffs were not a real goal this year, but they must be next year.
