does that make you joan of arc? being burned alive for saying god told you to make Avila king of the tigers? 84echoes, our very own la pucelle.

what if player a is accused of a crime but then exonerated by a grand jury? does he still get suspended?

how is david chadd still employed by the tigers?

if they brought up thompson, half the board would be bitching that he was taking at bats from baddoo. lol.

i dont think we need a change of manager, i think we need a new gm. that said, if you bring in someone from another organization that likely means a new field manager too. as much as i think hinch ks a good manager, its much more important to get the gm right and if we have to sacrifice aj to get that done, so be it.

AJ's agent getting out in front of this mess?

DD and old man illitch would do it.

manning had a great start and hasnt gotten injured yet. that's what really matters today.

i would do it in a heartbeat.

btw, the last time the tigers had two top 10 prospects, it was cameron maybin and andrew miller. that got us cabrera, but how did those guys turn out? one eventually turned into a top reliever after being a bust as a starter and the other was a fringe major leaguer for a decade who never lived up to his potential. would you trade greene and tork for juan soto?

i trust yzerman a lot more than avila. and in fairness, if the wings get as many injuries as the tigers, we'll be in for bedard. (and then end up drafting 7th)

i know youre serious by the amount of ALL CAPS you use. 🙂

from the guy who said derrick hill was jacque jones...

but you dont have any reason why you think its better other than you want to think its better. there is only one person on this site that knows anything about prospects and that's micro. the rest of just look at box scores and twitter highlights. and that's great. were fans. but we dont know. i trust the people who do this for a living and their opinions on the tigers' players outside of the top 5 picks is that they are flawed and not likely to make it. you can say that about most franchises too. we just focus on detroit. its ok to have hope, but realize that's what it is: hope. that's all i have too. but i'm 50 and a lions fan so all my hope has been crushed into bitter disappointment that i transfer to every franchise other than the red wings. lol.

exactly. especially since the guys they have brought up to the majors have done poorly. these are young players who need time. give it to them.

too many good vibes for the lions. espn had their statistical projection for offensive lines up the other day. lions were ranked 26th. bears, headed by the amazing riley rieff, were 15th. im not a big lions homer, but i think that's cause for a re-evaluation of your algorithm.

you should learn how to read a joke and not get all pissy about it.

call him up to the majors!

why do you think the talent level is so much better?

six years ago you would have said the same thing youre saying today, only the list you created would have had different names. 84, you have a lot of faith. but that's what it is: faith. the people that do this for a living dont think much of the tigers' system for a reason...

i also assume the draft/development process was broken before. there seems to be a new one in place and it needs time to see if it can work.

why? you see how poorly it went for tork and now baddoo. you can call up and hope for a flash in the pan like baddoo last year or you can stick to your development plan for each player. we can rant and rave and vent on this site causr that's what this site is for, but i ASSUME they have a plan for each player. stick to it and dont say "fuck it, lets see what happens" just because the major league season has gone poorly.

when those guys get called up and do poorly, we will all pivot and say they should have kept them in triple a to get at bats like everyone did with tork and baddoo.

illitch also never forgave him for refusing to manage the strike breakers, iirc.

good thing we tanked for this.
