    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.

    not really. if he had a family friend who wanted the job and was also super successful at it and was a club legend, it would be appropriate. but they dont.
  4. buddha
    that would be the easiest and simplest thing to do, so that's the most likely thing that will happen.

    is there a steve yzerman equivalent for the tigers?

    team with little to offer gets little in return. sounds about right.

    if anything, they were regular seasoj underachievers. 2013 was the biggest disappointment.

    the last time the tigers had a big free agent splurge with avila they didnt get any better either. maybe there is a common denominator here? nyah.

    its not a matter of doing something at the deadline or saying "the rebuild is over," its promoting a guy who failed at the one job he was asked to do (take over for dd and sign a bunch of free agents...then sell off thosr pieces). he's failed. and what did chris do? he did the easiest thing to do: he promoted him. you argue with me about yzerman and the wings, but avila and the tigers is an obvious case of "i dont know what the fuck to do so i'm just going with the guy in front of me." that's it. its incompetence by a guy who doesnt know what to do, so he does the easiest thing he can do.

    that says more about illitch's OTHER kids...and the people that were put in charge of the business. not chris. i'm not sure what about chris' time as head of thr wings and tigers gives you any idea he knows that he's doing.
  21. buddha
    that's exactly correct.

    willIam clay ford was ignorant as to how to run a successful business. he never ran anything in his life and was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. he was loyal because he didnt have a clue as to how to run a successful organization. chris illitch has shown no signs of being able to run a sports team. sure, his dad wasnt the best in the beginning, but did hire devellano and then dd for the tigers after initial missteps. chris lucked into steve yzerman and promoted avila and watched him fail and did nothing.

    chris illitch is the spoiled son of a guy who built a business empire. he's william clay ford.
  24. buddha
    it's not patience, it's ignorance and lack of confidence. he doesnt know anything about the business so he just does nothing. after all, nothing is the easiest thing to do.
  25. buddha
    they kind of ran out of ideas. but i'll still watch season 3.
