Already this season has been a roller coaster of highs to low. Being a fan only makes that worse. Sitting here today on the down slope it does seem we do have quite a long way to go unfortunately. I suppose that's why Harris is moving more deliberately thank I like. It's just we have sucked so bad for so long and to see the Orioles not only pass us but reach the top is frustrating. Greene looks good and Keith maybe but at the major league level thats it for position players. I guess Verling might take another step but even so that is three players that can help with the bat and make plays in the field. The rest are one trick ponies.

I think KMcGonigle will be a star for Detroit. Hopefully shortstop and if not second Base.

This is the bottom line on April 18th. Quite a bit can happen between now and the end of the year and hopefully most of it’s positive. Having said that they need to add first base to their planning at least on some level. Tork has played first probably since he was 10 years old. He’s a DH. Take his negative defense away and he might have some value. Playing first base he has to hit 25 homers to be replacement level.

I have a pair also and the shipping $ to California had me sleeping in the garage for a awhile as well..😀

So Meadows hits a homer and walks and then sits the next day against a right-hander ? Isn't that lost momentuem ?

The reserved upper deck seats in Tiger stadium were all good. I miss that place. Too bad it couldn't be saved.

No clue on these guys

Which proves tanking sucks !

Watching Langford circle Carpenters double two games ago like a blind squirrel highlighted the defensive concerns that were mentioned in his draft analysis. He was already playing deep and took a poor route and the ball fell short of the wall behind him. I guess thats why he is mostly a DH. Still impressive he is in the show so quickly but maybe not for long as you suggest. I think Meadows will get a super long runway. Good thing about defensive players is they contribute when not hitting whereas bat only...seems at the moment we have either or on our team unfortunately apart from Riley. Hopefully more developing.

Can't blame Al Avila for the Tork pick but I wonder if Harris thinks he and others are not so good and that's why he passed on Langford because his evaluation of the inherited talent makes him think we are still 3 years away so he went high school high ceiling draft.

I hope they don't push back. Carlos is breath of fresh air and brings his MLB approach where they commented on all teams without being employed by one. He has analytical comments rather than sugar coating comments.

McStinkey did hit into a double play but Simien bobbled the transfer otherwise its two.

Canha has the highest OBP so try him with Greene second..then pull them out of a hat.

Or not

We got this

Bat Greene second so you get the best of Riley Greene. Period.

Why didn’t they try to throw Hime out at second? He’s really slow that doesn’t fit the aggressive narrative of the team.

Glad McKinstry is in the bench. Just play Urshela most days.

Do you think Lange can right himself? He was doing so well last year for a long time and it seems overnight Hyde showed up!

Clark’s shows don’t bother me one bit. He can walk on the grass. Social Media is big for kids that age so enjoy your youth young man. Plus the revenue they can make from a high number of followers is real. Not chump change. Influencers are a career in itself.

The problem with Lange is when he misses it’s by such a wide margin there isn’t any temptation to swing.

Looking for a bounce back from Olen today , Lorenzen getting knocked out early and Langford getting the golden sombrero. Tigers win.

Very cool. Moxie Maxie.

We really needed that gift. Happy Holiday. So the day I start really doubting Baez in print he homers ? Is El Mago back ? Possible ? Blind Squirrel finds nut ?

Exactly so why did Hinch take him out of sn extra inning game for Croquet legs ?
