    At their age I was cutting box scores out of the newspaper so I could look at a whole season's worth.

    I wish I didn't watch that many games last April.

    Reading about each side's current position doesn't seem that far off. Both sides have made some concessions. Both sides are trying to add things they have never had before. I think it would be smart to be conservative with those ideas and they can easily drop some of those proposals or set them up on a trial basis year by year. They don't have to be part of the five year deal.

    Hostile meeting today apparently.
  5. Tigermojo
    Maybe they can make it all the way to 20 minutes on Monday.

    Get off my pitch.

    Meeting on Saturday. Lots of yelling and expletives and the meeting ended after five minutes. Right on schedule.

    They have some good young players on the 26 man roster who are controlled for five or six more years. I think they'll be ok.

    You are so locked out you can't even pee in a cup!

    One thing not being factored into to this discussion is injuries. The Tigers invested a significant amount of money into Zimmerman for example and received nothing in return. Should teams who try to be competitive but lose multiple starters to injuries be punished?

    Does Chris Fetter have a brother or sister? Maybe a cousin. Is his mom available?

    Washington and Atlanta only 3.5 games separating first in the NL East.

    Owners looking desperate scheduling a counter proposal the next day. What happened to playing it cool by locking them out for 7 weeks? Players have the power in the relationship now.
  15. Tigermojo
    Players are making a proposal currently. I think both sides are too far apart for the season not to be impacted at this point.

    They had meetings twice in December regarding issues not related to economics. No meetings have been scheduled since then.

    Best shape of his life and he's working on a new change up.

    I'm very happy with Baez. I think his overall game will fit well with this team. Durability is important and Baez has been durable. I would have been happy with Correa as well, maybe not as happy five years from now when Correa has five years left and Baez has one. Someone will pay Correa what he wants. They will market him as a star player and make plenty of money compared to what his contract will cost. The difference between the two is payroll flexibility. The Tigers can potentially add another player.

    Still a lot of question marks on this team but huge upside with all the young players as well. We'll probably see some busts but others could step up. I think the lineup will be ok. They will not crush the ball all over the place but they'll play solid defense with good baserunning. The problem will be injuries. They still don't have much depth past the top 26. I'd really like another starter and a couple guys for the bullpen. I'd prefer they do it now than trade away talent in July.
  22. Tigermojo
    They made some improvements to their running game with Hinch last season and I think they can be even better in that department next year. Maybe near the top of the league in baserunning. That really disrupts the opposing team.
  23. Tigermojo
    I like the opt outs. It's good for the players and the team. The players should be motivated to play well. If they opt out, the team has options. In Baez' case they could give him a qualifying offer or try to trade him before the deadline but he can block a trade to 10 teams. Rodriguez has already received a qualifying offer from the Red Sox but he doesn't have any no trade clauses. If they don't opt out, it doesn't mean they are bad. They might enjoy playing in Detroit. Baez and Rodriguez are young enough and talented. The contracts seem reasonable compared to what others have received so I think they will be worth the money.

    Is this realistic for next year? That's 37.5 WAR. A good starter, better bullpen and better DH could push them to contend. Barnhart 1 Torkelson 2.5 Schoop 2 Baez 3 Candelario 3 Baddoo 2.5 Greene 2 Grossman 2 Cabrera -1 Haase 1 Hill .5 H. Castro .5 Rodriguez 3 Mize 2 Skubal 2.5 Manning 1.5 5th starter 1 Alexander 1 Fulmer 1.5 Cisnero 1 Soto 1 Funkhouser .5 Lange .5 Foley .5 Jiminez .5 Closer? 1

    Gotta love people who make your job easier and that's exactly what Baez and Schoop will do for Trammell. He will probably focus most of his attention on young Torkelson. The defense up the middle was a big problem last year. It looks much improved now.
