i think tork will be fine and will likely be on the andrew vaughn path next year or the year after.

trei cruz: 213/340/337. at A ball. At age 23. he isnt any good.

...for toledo.

someone needs to tell 84 that the tigers are one of the worst teams in baseball. he seems to think those players are good.

they think derrick hill is not going to be jacque jones, so they're one up on you. lol. 😉

as they say in the south: "well bless your heart."

i thought illitch was mad DD was rumored to be talking to the red sox?

it'll be weird that a guy who has been on the IL most of the season will still be leading the tigers in most hitting categories...

welp. jim cowan 1, 84 0. 🙂

Huberdeau gets 8 years at 10.5 aav. that's more than tkachuk got and pays him until he's 37. yikes.

you may be the most optimistic man alive.

after reading what he said yesterday, i think he might actually take a buy out.

chris. illitch firing people is hard. saying the rebuild is over is easy.

he played an entire season after they got rid of their vets and won 4 games.

i grew up in detroit. ive been back recently. its better now. but it is NOT gleaming. its still a crappy midwestern industrial town.

this is ALL pr and window dressing. the nfl gets raked over the coals for their seeming lack of concern for domestic violence committed by their players. in today's media world, they need to try to rectify that (or think they do). so watson is the sacrificial lamb who now sits out two seasons to satisfy tony buzbee's need for publicity. again, this is why you always pay. of course, even if they wanted to settle early buzbee wouldnt have let them. he needed this to drag out to keep his name in the news. might run for governor again. and it'll help him get more seven billion verdicts like the one handed down in texas a couple weeks ago.

i thought i read that nbc was bidding for part of the big ten's rights too. maybe that goes along with that? prime time acc games without notre dame arent moving the needle.

detroit is a gleaming new city?

seriously. let the union try to explain how this new disciplinary procedure is different or better for them than the last one. great job by demaurice smith as usual.

well....we usually draft those guys in the first round so.....progress!

are the russians allowed at the world juniors anymore?

but the shift has been growing more prevalent every year and players have not stopped trying to pull the ball and hit to all fields. not sure why eliminating the shift is an indication that they want more home runs. i think they want more balls in play and more people on the basepaths. that's what theyre looking for.

as you would say....HYPERBOLE. lol. its going to take time to see results from the new scouting and development system installed a few years ago. and prospect rankings are notoriously volatile. that said, gotta pick it up Al. you sold the rebuild and you sold the end of the rebuild. the results from this seem.....poor so far.

that's not mediocrity, that's bad. mediocraty would be a step up for this team. the only almost mediocre season was last year.

maybe if kirk gibson had built a championship team with another organization. but he hasnt. there is no tigers equivalent to steve yzerman and what he built in tampa bay.
