Tenacious D

Our position player equivalent was the Tork/Greene/Carpenter triumvirate. Seeing some parallels to the pitchers so far.

He makes it up—way to call him out!

Could easily be a 20/40 guy in the bigs. Hate to make comparisons like this, but his potential reminds me of a slightly smaller, less powerful Mike Trout. No pressure, kid 🤣

Regardless of what Langford does, I’m on board with the Clark pick (I was not at the time). He’s a better fit in Comerica and should be more well-rounded. Looks like a legit leadoff guy, which we’ve lacked for a long time.

Agree. They are sellers

No one knows who Skubal is. Probably the most unheralded, low key superstar in Detroit sports. If the franchise could withstand trading Verlander, who everyone knew and loved, they’ll get over trading Skubal. Might take 48 hours, but it will happen.

It was a fun game for 6 innings.

The allegations are horrific, but I’m reminded of the BS that Bauer endured. This is tricky—it’s a man’s reputation and livelihood at stake, but you have to support the victim, if true.

Has to be Baddoo, right?

How does the 2025 draft class look?

Is your last name Biden? (too soon?)

I like Kurtz—almost 1.5 walks to strikeouts and is LH bat. Unless they are named Pujols or Miggy, I want my 1B to be left-handed. It’s just American.

Didn’t know him—sorry for all of your losses. Sounds like he was a great guy.

I wouldn’t make it for the Tigers.

What name did he use here?

No—I’d put McGonigle there.

Ironically, we have more organizational depth at SS than 1B. I disagree that it’s easy to find a good 1B, probably because of the expectations around the hitting profile associated with that position and the dearth of hitters that match it. Most of the high school position players that get drafted are SS and CF, because the best athletes play there. And then move. For example, both Nick Castellanos and Colt Keith were drafted at SS, and the Tigers never expected either to stay there. If the best player is a 1B when we draft at 11, I’ll be cool with it.

Looks like he jammed an ankle

Splitting up the Battlin’ Castro’s has served Willi well.

Still can’t find Deivi Cruz in the image…

Randy Smith = Nepo Baby

I believe Samuel Gil might be the first Amish player ever for the Tigers. In addition to his impressive baseball skills, he’s also adept at churning butter and an invaluable contributor to any barn raising.

If you’re going to trade him, at the deadline is when you should do it. More competition and urgency for his services. I really don’t see him going, though—highly doubt they would trade both him and Flaherty in season.
