I think we will lose Hirua since he had a good spring. Someone will give him a MLB gig.

Agree it make Ohtani look stupid for letting someone steal 4.5 million without you knowing ? Really ? I agree he looks better just saying he loaned the guy 4.5 million and had no idea what it was for or just tell the truth. At least he looks benevolent instead of clueless.

So does Lorenzen signing for only 4.5 million dent the Tigers image of "come to Detroit and Improve " or does it prove that to stay good you need to stay in the "D" ?

Javy Baez continues to play great defense and surprises with the bat to post a 3 War season.

Hinch said yesterday on the telecast he is taking it down to the wire.

Is Urshela making the team ?

The Giants cam to Boras rescue for both Snell and Chapman. Greedy lost this year.Snell probably could have had a 5 or 6 year 150, not 200, but he wouldn't have to worry about injury not that you can't live on 30 million after taxes.

Good points but it would be a hard conversation nevertheless .

Then Olsen it will be. Rationale will be seniority ?

Mize îs clearly my # 6 but thankfully I do not make the decisions ! But I agree sending down a 1-1 who has waited 2 years to return from injury and had an arbitration"misunderstanding" takes big cahones that H&H might not have. Big decisions with Wentz (out of options) and Drew Anderson ( opt out clause for Asia if sent down) also coming due. Anderson has been excellent with a 15K/9 spring. Is Will Vest Toledo bound ? Faedo looks real sharp as well. We have 16 pitchers for 13 spots. Team is improving. On the hitters side Leonard, Kreidler and Ibanez play could make Urshela redundant. Especially with Jung charging from the rear. Progress. I bet Scotty's phone is buzzing loudly these days. Maybe a trade is coming and if so what do we need most added to the team ?

I genuinely liked Al Avila and also like that he is not the PBO. As for Harris, so far so good.

Watching the Blue jays broadcast I hope Verling played right field and Carp stays at DH. Also Keith looks very stiff. Just waited for a slow grounder instead of charging and trying for the DP. Barely got the force out. Yes it's very very early but I am worried about the team defense.

No way it take until 2026 to reach the bigs for that stuff unless your assuming it take a year or so at that level to be a #2. Personally I think arms only last so long so why wait. He has 3 pitches now. Maybe wait until June to keep a year of control. Not to be irrational, which I am about to be 😃 , Sign JD and bring up Jobe. The Central is really weak. And with Skubal and Jobe in short series....is it 2006 or 2024 ?

So Jobe is our # 2 correct ? Tell me I'm wrong.

True but that's maybe stretching it just little bit ?

If we’re going to have Miggy in camp this week is best since the camp tone is established and there will still be a week left without him before the season starts.

Baez will have a better year in 2024 than 2023. By a good margin. Patience grasshoppers. If there is crow 🐦‍⬛ to eat in September I will be here.

Do platooning teams actually win championships ? Doesn’t it really mean you don’t have enough good players ?

Monroe was exhausting. He could talk half as much and it would still be too much. It’s TV. not radio.

The Grey Fox was better and was a solid defender. Comment from the old guy 😃

Way too early to fret about Baez. Nothing happening in 2024 until late summer at all unless he is failing defensively. El Mago needs the juice and spring training has none. He will be better in 2024.

Progress...and our former season homer champ Brandon Dixon retired. Plus the man who found them all is still out of baseball ?

Kreidler also and he is the best fielding shortstop we have in the system.

Hopefully these anquished debates will end as we draft farther and farther down as we win and win more each season.

Bobrob2004 is solid predictor and if so does the Tork and Greene numbers meet everyones expectations or were we planning on more. I was and still am especially Greene. We need one of these to really blossom to lead this team. I thought Greene was a .300 -.350 - .475 825 OPs player and Tork a .270-.325-.500 and 825 as well. I think we need this to happen to win the division.
