How in the heck is Angel Hernandez still a major league umpire???

Signing JV after TJ surgery is a huge risk.  As much as I want to see him back in a Tiger uniform that money is better spent somewhere else.  

Agreed, especially at his age . . . but . . . time for him to come full circle and be Kenny Rogers for the big three.

I think the trick to start the season in 2022 is to platoon Hill and Greene in CF and Daz and Baddoo in LF.  Give Grossman an occasional break using the platooners.  See what shakes out and go with the hot hand.  Spend the FA money on a couple of familiar starters and a lefty for the pen.  Extend Candelario.  And no extended trips to the DL.

1. Hill/Greene CF
2. Schoop 2B
3. Grossman RF
4. Cabrera DH – spot start at 1B
5. Candy 3B
6. Torkelson 1B
7. Haase C
8. Krieder SS
9. Daz / Baddoo RF

Bench – Garneau (he has earned it) and the Castro brothers

Rotation - Mize, Skubal, Manning, JV, Scherzer

Pen – Alexander, Fulmer, Funkhouser, Soto, Cisnero, Wentz/Boyd, FA Lefty

Max and JV reunion!

This is where I would spend the money!

....and the Tigers 'get two for the price of one', Krieder to Schoop to Torkelson!

Great, I was loved and admired as one of the founding members on the old forum and now I am a Newbie.  Can't ya bump me a few levels MotownWebGuy?
