    The other 40 man roster challenge is that we essentially have to consider protecting players that would have been eligible for the Rule 5 which was canceled last year, due to the work stoppage. So, we have two eligible groups to deal with. From the glass is half full perspective, we also could benefit from a deeper pool of talent in the draft. Get your party favors together.

    Yeah, I think the ghost of Norm Cash can rest easily.

    F Shep. He still sucks. If he were really brave, he would have said something during Al’s Reign of Terror. Going off now could only endear him to Harris, who knows he has inherited a mess. That’s not courage—it’s pandering. I’m kind of shocked by the reactions here and that no one else sees this.

    I don’t like where this is going

    which means we'll win this game, because, it's 2022. Anyone feeling sad about the season ending? I'm relieved to get this behind us--one of the worst seasons I've endured over 45 years of being a Tigers fan. Probably because expectations were a bit higher.

    So, their backup catcher gets the win. Our All-Star closer with the loss.

    Pretty embarrassing turn of events if we lose this one this way.

    That 10th inning was a microcosm of our offensive performance this year. The backup C faces 5 Tigers and doesn’t give up a hit or walk.

    Does Brian Garcia have a spot on the 40-man this offseason? Between a few starts here and in Toledo, seems like he has reinvented himself into potentially useful SP depth.

    Really expected to see Tram on that list. He kind of limped to the finish line.

    Just looked at the Phillies box score—a lot of pop in their lineup. Except for Nick C, who put up pretty pedestrian numbers this season. He can’t blame that ballpark, though.

    I've liked West coast games since I was a kid. I rarely make it to the end of our games scheduled in EST, so this won't change things.

    LaRussa officially retiring (again). I hope his health is OK, but he really tarnished his legacy (at least to me) with the last two seasons. That was a formidable roster of young talent, and nothing to show for it. I know they had injuries, but all teams experience that. I suspect with a strong manager that the ‘23 team will perform well—the talent is still there.

    Maybe another reason to bring back one of Candy or Schoop as 1B insurance. Doesn’t make sense to acquire anyone to play there.

    Coolbaugh can fix that <ducks>

    I don’t think the roster spot is that big a deal—we have enough position versatility to offset. The real issue is needing to give him actual AB’s, which is a problem.

    I think it's less about how teammates would perceive a move like this. I think they want him to leave on his terms as a reward for all of his contributions and milestones. They likely don't want to risk any negativity/bad blood--they've come this far.

    Daz and Short are both on the 40-man.
  22. Tenacious D
    Curious if anyone is excited about this stretch and can find any positives from it?
  23. Tenacious D
    this foray certainly didn't help
  24. Tenacious D
    I'd bet Harris goes outside of the org to get another outfielder for next season.

    hate to be cynical, but he has stated this in the past. In addition to his debilitating health issues, he seems to more closely resemble a 40-and over men's softball player. The extra weight certainly isn't helping.
