Tenacious D

Bring back Mario. Just put his name on his damn chair.

Can Haase play 1B?

Oh, you’re the guy.

Agree. Sadly they could solve it in house moving Dan Dickerson to TV with a Gibby and Peaches rotation. DD is wasted on the radio

My guess is that you can write in Schoop, too, at least to start the season.

I will be depressed if Nevin makes the team and is in the Opening Day starting lineup. Was hoping he was AAA depth.

The rich get richer

As a reminder…

Would the same be said of Brady and Belichick?

Makes the Chicago pick even more valuable if they choose to trade it.

Can we go back to talking about Jose Cisnero(s) instead?

I don’t know—I recall a couple of plays where he almost killed his fellow outfielders. For a Rule 5 guy, he was fine. A guy you want at AAA in case of an injury on the big squad.

(You’re asking for trouble/ridicule).

Nice to see the International kids and proud their parents. I don’t know what the bonuses are, but could be life-changing for some of them. I appreciate Enrique’s bow tie game, too.

I like the idea of using a later pick on a QB like Herndon or Haener, vs forgoing the defense with our higher round picks. We might strike gold, but very little risk if they don’t turn into a Purdy.

Not really a hot take. More like a dumbass one. He was successful in getting reactions, though. Hard to know what Vierling will turn into, but the metrics suggest he has more upside. I’m excited to see what he can do this season—still only has 400 AB’s under his belt and just turned 26.

If the Cowboys crap the bed, that will probably be another team changing coaches, making it more possible that Ben Johnson gets a gig somewhere.

I’d throw out last year—he was coming off an injury/long rehab cycle. he’ll either pitch well and help us win games or suck, and you’ll have been right—you can’t lose.

Yeah, not putting this on Harris. Just stating the obvious that this is an area I hope he can improve upon.

Harris has to address this. We have one of the biggest International budgets and we’re projected to sign three players ranked in the 30’s. Criminal. Given our track record, I’d rather roll the dice and spend it all on one or two high impact guys. https://www.blessyouboys.com/2023/1/15/23555908/detroit-tigers-international-signing-cristian-santana-enrigue-jimenez-cristian-perez-anibal-salas

They have been aggressive in free agency, plugging holes with “damaged goods” players who they are hoping for a rebound—Bellinger, Hosmer and Mancini.

He seems like such a free spirit, I can see him pursuing another 2-year with an opt-out.

Exactly. Without anything reported, the assumption is that Harris is doing nothing. He’s close to the vest and the Tigers will likely be absent from MLB Trade Rumors coverage, so I suspect he will not be given the benefit of the doubt until the team starts winning. I would expect the casual fan to be suspect, but surprised how much negativity he’s already come under here.

Twins fans probably didn’t think Correa was coming back, either. “So, you’re saying there’s a chance?”
