Wentz back to his old self throwing up meat balls. -
Didn't get a chance to watch the draft but did they give any explanation why Whitmore fell that far or was it just cause of the concerns that Del and NYlion have brought up before?
-
Welp there's goes any hope for Sasser.

I mean he has one of the more punchable faces in the league to me and I didn't like him at UM but I don't think he is that bad of a player but admittedly I never really watched him that closely. It just seemed like whenever I would watch GS he seemed to play well and I thought he stepped up a couple seasons ago when GS was going through their injuries. And yeah that contract isn't good but its through his 23-27 seasons and Washington should have no problem absorbing it with all the projected space they have. Also with the way contracts are going up his AAV isn't going to look that bad in the future. If he busts oh well helps them tank better but if he plays like he did a couple years ago where he shot .365/.448/.920 with more volume he could be a real asset for them.

Good to see he still has those spin numbers, those max numbers on the CB, Slider and cutter would top every MLB pitcher in baseball this year. Considering his age and just his 2nd start back from injury that is insane, of course there is far more to being a great pitcher than spin rate but it certainly doesn't hurt to have that kind of elite stuff.

Not the biggest Poole fan in the world but this makes the Beal trade look a little better cause atleast Jordan is a young player that has shown immense upside at times.
-
Speaking of Kuminga, I didn't bother to go down the rabbit hole to fact check but I saw some twitter headlines yesterday that said that he is now being measured at 7' after "only" being 6'7 when he was drafted. I know I grew a couple inches from the time I graduated High School till my 20th birthday so I know first hand it's not out of the realm of possibility to grow at that age but that would be a MAJOR late growth spurt.

Years from now when a guy is hitting .140 people will say "Dude can't even hit above the Maton line(.150)." -
I think if you look up AAAA player in the dictionary Derek Hill would have his picture there.
-
To me the MLB draft is the one draft where it makes the most sense to take BPA vs. need since it does usually take 3-4 years for these guys to come up here and make an impact and by then who knows what your team will look like and what needs you will have. Atleast in a sport like basketball or football the rookies tend to play right away so it may make more sense if you feel some guys are pretty even to take the guy where you know you have a hole at and can bring in and play right away.
-
I think it's fair to blame Coaching/Management for not clearly communicating the rules to the players. Yes they shouldn't have to babysit these players and it should be the players responsibilities to know what is legal and what's not but lets face it that is pretty unrealistic in this day and age. The players aren't going to read through everything like they should so you would think management knowing the severity of the crime and punishment that will be handed out would be as clear as possible with the players so there isn't any mistakes.
-
If we stay at 5 Im starting to lean towards Ausar as my favorite. First off I love how upside and think he would fit in well with Cade and Ivey. I also think that he can help the team from day 1 with his defense and even if the shot never pans out the defense and athleticism would still make him an asset for us.
-
I heard some people speculate that Skenes should be ready by the ASB next year but I heard that story before ie Casey Mize.
-
What about T mobile arena? That's where they hold all the UFC fights.
-
If we trade back and get the multiple picks would anybody be interested in Lively or is he just not a fit here with Duren? Just wondering cause I seen a few stat based projections that has him being in the top 5.

2023 Detroit Tigers Regular Season Discussion Thread
RandyMarsh replied to oblong's topic in Detroit Tigers
Watching what Aaron Hicks is doing in Baltimore and I really wish the Tigers would've scooped him up when the Yankees released him at the end of last month, he was available when Greene got injured but the Tigers opted to trade for Marisnick instead. Anyway Hicks has since posted close to a 1.000 OPS since the acquirement(posted an .869 in May for the Yanks as well) while Marisnick has posted a .514. -
I'm not going to go crazy if they pass on Langford for somebody like Clark but to my untrained eyes he seems to be the most safe bet in the draft including Crews. Crews has more upside cause it sounds like he should be able to handle CF but I think Langford's bat will be a safer bet than Crews(that's not to say his is unsafe just not as safe as Langford's).
-
We are still banged up a little along with Miggy still needing rest days but it is surprising to me that Maton continues to play virtually every day. He seems like a prime candidate to give a few days off to but Hinch keeps running him out there. Idk he did the same for Ibanez in his 1-40 stretch and he eventually turned it around so perhaps he is banking Maton doing the same. Color me skeptical.
-
Heard some speculation that the Pistons would be interested in him, guess you can forget about that now.

2023 Detroit Tigers Regular Season Discussion Thread
RandyMarsh replied to oblong's topic in Detroit Tigers
Yep I totally miss trades like that. Nowadays seemingly in all sports all trades are either prospects for vets or salary relief type trades. -
If **** is still there at 19 I'm doing what it takes to try to trade up for that pick.
-
What always scares me about trading for other team's prospects is that they obviously know more about them than you do so considering how valuable they are to have on a big league roster you have to wonder if there is something that gives that team trepidation about the player. This thought process is more about when a team gives you a list of players to choose from and ones that are off limits. Like the rumors are the Astros told the Tigers that Whitley, Tucker and somebody else who's name forsakes me but we could have Perez. Like to me that would concern me but teams not just the Tigers will still do it and I think that's why they often end up on the losing end.
-
That may be true but you never know who may drop, it seems like every year there are a few guys who drop to that range that you weren't expecting.

Even Adduci thought he was going too heavy with his drinks.
