  1. they should use big country as their theme song. cause its the whole country now...
  2. lol. keep it in the political forum!
  3. someone will write that "he wasnt a winner..."
  4. in leyland's defense, cabrera's post season injuries were a major factor in 2012 and 2013.
  5. i get the impression sparky was viewed as ahead of his time vis a vis bullpen usage. leyland was great at controlling the clubhouse and keeping players happy. that's a really good skill. but in game? lineups? pitching management? not the best, imo. and those tigers teams underachieved other than 2006, that group overachieved.
  6. especially when he doesnt know how to use them...
  7. and yet, everyone seems to think jim leyland was a brilliant manager...
  8. Let us all take a minute to rejoice that the white sox have lost SEVENTEEN straight games.
  9. eloy jimenez, yoan moncada, and luis robert are all very talented, lazy bums. as soon as abreu left the team they all quit trying. they dont run hard. they dont play regularly. they dont care. take them on at your own risk.
  10. tigers got A- grades from the athletic for the trade. how dare we get an A- grade. fire his overrated ass.
  11. high al avila pick sucks? no way. i'm stunned.
  12. othet than getting screwed by flaky Erod, harris hasnt done anything objectionable yet.
  13. cominsky wasnt very good last year. this means they might keep both the canadian kid and houston.
  14. we didnt get jackson holliday for jack flaherty. oh no. you guys are ridiculous. that's a decent return for an oft-injured rental starter.
  15. george is a former first rounder (supplemental) who has speed for days. no power but a good hit tool. cartaya is a former top international prospect who struggled at the plate last year. tons of power and a good arm. sounds like a latin american jake rogers.

  17. interesting rehab project for the orioles. his time in chicago was done. too injured too often. too much of a clown. lazy.
  18. i miss carmen harlan.
  19. how dare we trade a 30 year old back up catcher for less than two top ten prospects? our gm is teh stupidest.
  20. wherefore art thou steve coyler...
  21. iowa too high. washington too low. show more is about right... penn state as a dark horse pick. they have one tough game on their whole schedule and its at home.
  22. i dont get the slobbering over holland. is he as ground bound as stanley? no. but he's not NEARLY as athletic as ivey. again, to me he really looks like a taller, bigger kcp without the jumper. he's nba athletic but stiff. he's not fluid at all. he has shown the ability to finish in traffic but i dont know if that will translate on nba defenders. he really looks like he plays below the rim. cade is a little like that too, but cade has a fluidity to his game, a control. holland is all out to the rim and doesnt see what else is around him. maybe that comes with time. but its not there now. looks like he ceiling is nba role player. that's nothing to sneeze at but less than what you want from #5 overall. they've taken three very flawed players at #5 the last 3 years. of all of ivey, thompson, and holland, i think ivey has the best chance to break out because of the great offensive athletic ability. ausar will be defense only forever. holland looks like a jack of all trades master of none to me.
