  1. Makes you wonder if there is something in Flaherty and Miller’s profiles that make the Tigers think they can unlock something, similar to what they were able to do with Lorenzen.
  2. Love stats, hate/suck at math.
  3. Ugh. This board is in desperate need of a transaction to dissect. Any transaction will do.
  4. Another blast from the past, signing autographs this past weekend at a sports card show in Troy, MI
  5. I think the increase in travel teams, from a very young age, has increased the wear and tear on pitchers arms. My boys played in tournaments where opposing coaches were gaming innings limits to make sure their best pitchers threw more. I also think the increasing pressure on HS and College programs to win can lead to bad judgment/behavior.
  6. Are those dollar amounts the increase they will receive?
  7. They have to win one game vs Minny and their 3rd string QB. If not, we probably don’t deserve a playoff spot.
  8. Pecota sounds like a ****.
  9. if you add a 6th starting pitcher to the rotation, how are you alleviating bullpen usage? Wouldn't it just result in fewer total innings per starter over the course of a season? Assuming that most starters only go 5-6 innings per start, aren't you still requiring the same amount of innings for the relievers?
  10. hard to put Olsen in Toledo after the season he had for us, but he would appear to be the odd man out. I suspect they would want him stretched out there vs. pitching in long relief with the big club. Nice problem to have if we have six healthy and deserving starting pitchers coming out of Spring Training.
  11. Or miss more bats. As I recall, the exit velocity on the 2nd injury was pretty high. He seems to give up a lot of hard hit balls, but someone more analytical and less lazy could prove me wrong on this.
  12. That’s the kind of quality, investigative reporting that we’ve come to expect from you. Nice work.
  13. If they think Jung is likely be called up at some point, it would justify going with a Vierling/McKinstry platoon at 3B to start the season.
  14. Somebody’s a bit cranky tonight. What a douche
  15. Was Turnbull at $7-8M a bad option, compared to what Flaherty is getting? He must have really burned a bridge with Harris and Co.
  16. It might be true, but doubt McCosky knows anything of substance. If the Glasgow trade doesn’t go through, do the Dodgers come after Skubal?
  17. So, we’ve added Mark Canha Kenta Maeda Andrew Chafin Jack Flaherty It’s a legitimate offseason so far. I really don’t see much else happening, though would love to be pleasantly surprised.
  18. probably paying a slight premium to limit it to one year. very Lorenzen-like in the potential to get better than he has been lately. Good insurance. I'll allow it.
  19. Unless Ohtani flames out.
  20. Ohtani had contended all along that he wanted to play on a winner. With his deferral, they can now add the much needed pitching to round out that team.
  21. Kind of takes the sting out of striking out.
