Tenacious D

I didn’t think the Sewell or Hutch picks were unexpected. Agree with the athleticism, but would be surprised to see him ignore the defense unless he either thinks he can address in free agency or believes that this is a two-draft (2024) fix.

Agree, but he was working with damaged goods. I’m sure Twins fans are excited about signing a guy long term who doesn’t want to be there, but ran out of options.

Use a later round and take a flyer on Herndon, Haener, Duggan or Bennett. Please address the D with rounds 1-2, and get a OL, TE and RB in the middle rounds. But ultimately agree that Holmes gets the benefit of the doubt to do whatever he wants.

Yeah, Red Sox Nation is going to be even more pissed now. Not used to a Red Sox team conceding a season so dramatically.

I like Correa, and was very vocal about wanting him to come here. However, If you look at his stats from last season, he didn’t really earn that contract. Of course that could be said of many others, so I guess there is a new standard. Kind of glad we stayed out of it as I think the majority of those contracts will become albatrosses sooner than later. Doesn’t help us much now, though.

He’s unlikely to make up the $100M difference after this contract is over, which tells you that his medicals were troublesome

Agree. Minny got a good deal because they were the only ones willing to take the chance. Will be interesting to see what the Mets do next. I don’t think they need to, but Cohen was very public in saying they needed another bat in Correa.

I know Vierling's arm plays in RF, but his speed is very well suited to LF in Comerica. I can't even remember where Meadows plays--does he have the arm to play in RF? I like the idea of Maton at SS (or someone else for that matter), but I doubt Hinch moves Baez from there. It's one thing, potentially, if you sign someone like Correa, but I doubt Javy would be super receptive to move for Nick Maton.

Agree. Plus we have enough potential “failed starters” in the org that might be better suited to pitching 1-2 innings at a time.

Even Dombrowski couldn’t trade Fields.

I’d like him so much better if Shreve was his first name.

Ahhh—missed Edman’s post, so didn’t have the proper context. On further review, I’ll allow it.

Why bring this up on January 9th? We’ve already moved on from the previous front office.

He definitely overachieved—maybe something clicked at age 31. I would expect someone at his age and experience to rake at AAA, so don’t think the Tigers can be faulted for letting him go. I’m not upset he’s not in the org, unless he has some sort of sustained, JD-type of career renaissance.

Where was this published? It’s interesting, but I hope we don’t trade up to draft a RB in the 1st round.

Appreciate the analysis.

The national media is fawning all over the Lions today. It’s fun.

Wait until you see him pitch. Still hope one of our analytical experts here will weigh in on why we signed him.

Pretty specific and comprehensive. I like it.—will be fun to revisit.

Talent carries over.

Mr. Irrelevant will start in the Super Bowl? that would be awesome.

I'm almost discounting the Carolina game--hard enough to win on the road already and the turf conditions seemed to be a big factor that favored the home team.

That’s nuts.

Not sure his contact status, but Tracy Walker will be healthy. Full year of Jamison Williams. The 6 and 18 picks. Two more in the 2nd round. Cap room and a more attractive option for free agents. Lets go!
