  1. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that he can still upgrade a position. We have a lot of prospect capital for a change.
  2. My wife is a realtor in Birmingham. Disappointed she didn’t get the Hinch listing. He probably did very well (there is not a lot of inventory right now), but where is he going to live? I could rent out a room to him, I suppose.
  3. AFL All-Star game on MLB Network at 8 pm EST.
  4. Agree that paying Baddoo $1.7M to be insurance at AAA is an easy decision.
  5. Soto’s a rental. Tatis is a buy-low guy that has some risk, but the reward can be great.
  6. Agree it’s a no-brainer to stash Baddoo in Toledo. We have a lot of question marks in the outfield—will Greene be able to play out there on Opening Day, is Meadows ready, and is Carpenter legit or Brennan Boesch V2. Nice to have Akil as insurance.
  7. I don’t care too much about which bench players will make the team, especially one week into the offseason. I would, however, like to significantly upgrade at least one spot in the lineup, Ideally two, with proven major league bats. I think Keith will be our Opening Day 2B. Other spots to upgrade are at 3B, C and OF.
  8. Canha is our new Fernando Vina. It all starts here.
  9. A lot of offseason left, but wonder if the Tigers view Vierling as a viable option at 3B, keeping the hot corner warm for Jung?
  10. He could take AB’s from Vierling, or block Malloy, so this isn’t a victimless crime.
  11. I’d be OK if we make a similar deal for LeMahieu, if the Yankees want to dump his salary.
  12. Greene > Carpenter, and it’s not even close. Still very questionable if Carp is not another Boesch. I might have felt differently if he had ended the season better. Of course I’m pulling for him, but selling high might not be a bad outcome if we can improve elsewhere.
  13. The only thing this trade satisfies is the need for a transaction. Any transaction. I’d rather Vierling gets the RH AB’s in the outfield.
  14. He was chosen to speak on behalf of the players at Miggy’s retirement ceremony.
  15. No ERod news yet? Maybe he really does want to stay.
  16. Yeah, I wouldn’t group Inge with those guys. To me, he’s more like Bobby Higginson—had a few good years, then flamed out.
  17. I hope they protect Wenceel, too.
  18. Let’s get the offseason started. Will be extremely pissed if we don’t pull off a trade tomorrow.
  19. This. Dying to learn who our new 1B coach will be.
  20. Glad we avoided Semien and Seager in free agency. #ElMago
  21. The irony of trading ‘24 draft picks, is that Detroit hosts the draft next year. Would be a bummer for the local fans, though I suspect we’ll hold on to our 1st and 2nd rounders.
  22. I think they’re buddies, which is a big strike against hiring Ferrins in any capacity.
