  1. All well put. I will add, IMHO, he (AA) was 'trained' a certain way for a long time - hence he was not earlier on with the changes the league had made (biomechanics, the sciences, player development, etc.). He also had most all 'old school' types working for him and was loyal to a fault and this put the org behind the 8 ball big time. Yet, he did see the changes and tried, like you mentioned, to move forward (Garko, Hinch, etc.). With said the org. could not develop much in terms of offensive minded players and still relied on 'pure power' types and guys who "could run like gazelles" as he often put it - but development and baseball quotient identifying was not in the cards at all. I do feel AA could ID some players for sure - but overall the people in the organization were too far out of touch with the modern methods and again development was poor.
  2. Yea, a lot of 'chatter'. I remember hearing chatter as well - something about Mike Drumwright (RHP) and Roberto Duran (LHP) for Williams, but the NYY Pres/or owner 'supposedly' nixed it.
  3. Are you kidding me ? You can't make that up. ๐Ÿ™‚
  4. Thank you for the feed backs! I will look at these things. Yes, I think my desktop is more 'messy' than messed up, lol. Yet, in most other things I am quite 'orderly' for the most part - sometimes it even irks people. ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ™‚
  5. Another churn and burn. That was fast for Ingram. Maybe he makes it through waivers.: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/02/tigers-claim-t-j-hopkins-designate-kolton-ingram.html
  6. Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into this. BTW, do I need a password to get into Safe Mode to do this in Windows 10?
  7. Opps, I posted this in the Spring Training thread... ๐Ÿ˜” I do like the risk. As mentioned 'Maybe we can help him get better'.
  8. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/02/tigers-to-sign-keston-hiura.html Cannot hurt. A lot of K's but power and ability to play some 1B and 2B. So more depth. Maybe 'We can help make him better'. That adage fits here. Still just 27 yrs old.
  9. This is true. However, when it is cold the body will relinquish 'energy' to stay warm. Then bodily reserves are taxed. Then, if the body is in that state, when around others, a bacteria and/or virus which another may have, could be spread more easily (ex hand shakes, hugs, any contact or with shared item usage, etc.) - then when one touches their own face, eyes, nose, etc. it may be transferred.
  10. Thank you for answering. I tried clicking on the 'security' tab. Then hit 'edit' below the first box (image 1). Then next box (image 2) it would NOT allow me to choose anything. Then I 'x' out and choose 'advanced' below the second box and this appeared (image 3)... Not sure here...
  11. Hello, This app/icon recently showed up on my desk top, it was after visiting a couple sites to talk about the Tigers and logging into Playstation. Just before Superbowl wk end. I do not do any betting nor even sought to. I have tried to get rid of it by deleting it R click (see what happens below in image nos 1-3) even hit L click (no 4). I tried to go into my Settings and then 'Add or Remove Programs' - but the file is not there or obvious to me. In laymen's terms what might be the next step to try to remove it? Any help greatly appreciated...
  12. Yea, I felt that he may be able to be a decent part time player. He had a high pedigree (a no. 1 draft spot), held prospect status for awhile in CO., and he has shown he can hit at AAA. Perhaps there is still something there and he is a bit of a late bloomer - or he could simply be another AAAA type. Seemed the second time around last year with the team he had made some progress (yes some bad BABIP). H is also pretty selective at the plate and versatile. Just maybe...
  13. Interesting on SImanaga, perhaps several teams were scared off with all the 'speculative' amounts that were being thrown around to get him - after the apx YYamamoto deal of 12 years and $325 mil to the LAD. Hindsight is 20/20 but Imanaga at 4 years and $53 mil (or 5 at 80) seems decent enough. I am ok with the JFlaherty deal and we have a little bit depth (though I would still sign another Depth/reclamation type SP). My point is maybe we felt there was not a chance to get Imanaga (to sign with Detroit) and/or the speculative price was going to be too high (yet came in decent) so the Tigers acted on plan B/C. I do not blame them at all, and see the end result as decent enough. We will see who is left standing for the FA musical chairs (pitchers and position players) and maybe an 'opportunistic' chance will show itself as we go deeper into the off season as ST gets closer and closer.
