that's what jesus always says

wasn't inge a high draft pick of the randy smith regime?

the team sucks cock-o for rocco?

no no, tork is an mvp candidate

Edwin Diaz to the Dodgers. Not that he was coming here or anything but one name off the board

i don't suggest this because i'm sour on tork. i think he has value, and it is value that the tigers might be able to translate into a different kind of value (i.e., different position, something like that), with a possible play for upside with keith. also, to somebody else's point, keith isn't as good as tork defensively, today, but given a chance he can probably be much better than he is keith needs a position where he can learn and grow. he hasn't had that. and it's not like tork is keith hernandez

I guess I kind of think Keith presents the prospect [there's that word] of being better than Tork. So far he hasn't been is correct. I don't think Tork has any real upside left. At best, he'll get a little BA/OBP boost from more accurate strike calls in the future, but I think he's a finished product, for better or worse.

I wonder if Pittsburgh would have any interest, and any assets that would interest the Tigers, in a trade for Torkelson. Pitt is trying to get better for Skenes, and they got little out of 1B last year. So he might fit for them. If the Tigers want a veteran and an actual 3B and therefore are interested in Bregman (today's reports say 'yes'), this would open 1B for Colt Keith. Whatever assets Pitt might be able to send back may ameliorate the overall increase in cost that is effectively swapping Tork for Bregman.

one of them is named Richard Fitts bwahahahahahaha

yes. wtf with trading the cat

Twas 2009. Had the Tigers won one more game against the white sox, game 163 would have been avoided. Sigh.

hmph, it worked for me. it recounts the way the granderson trade worked out, with max coming over, and the non-trade of max heading into his final year of team control after the exchange of pissy press releases from the team and boras

in my mind 19 is always the number given to disposable players. i was surprised that anibal sanchez wore it for as long as he did EDIT: I see that Anibal Sanchez wore it with the Marlins before the trade

the big media markets also offer more opportunities for endorsement deals. something in LA or NYC probably would provide multiples of whatever cure car insurance is paying skubal.
