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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
they kind of ran out of ideas. but i'll still watch season 3.
-
the first season of ted lasso was really good. second season not so much.

no chas, its because aj hinch is teh worst manager ever and would be unemployed....nay, he would be in jail, if the tigers hadnt stupidly hired him. -
the same reason we all think tork will eventually be good?
-
rip bill russell. one of the all time greats.
-
is there anything left in the big 12 worth taking?
-
faedo has long relief/spot starter written all over him. AAAA pitcher if he can stay healthy.
-
nyah, like taijuan walker...lol. and werent you the one jumping up and down that matt boyd was better than gleybar torres? so you just trade a pitcher as soon as he does well? that's how we get better? is skubal that guy? i dont know. but i know he's a good, cost controlled pitcher who - unlike fulmer - misses bats. i would keep skubal.
-
then keep fetters and we all get to keep drinking.
-
we finally get a good major league young pitcher and ya'll want to trade him away for some more lottery tickets.
-
for god's sake. i was teasing g2 for trying to find some silver lining in tork going 0-4. just let it go.
-
yes! that's exactly what i wrote!!! so if he goes 0-4 with a walk that means he's a hall of famer, right?
-
the tork were all looking for should be 2-4 with a walk and a home run. not 0-4 with a "clutch walk" late in the game. lol, come on g2.
-
0-4....but he had a walk! baby steps to all star status!

0-2 with a walk. definitely ready for prime time. -
al's grand plan was to re-sign shane greene, matt boyd, and daniel norris and offer them to the yankees for gleybar torres. stupid yankees beat us to the punch!
-
actually a good comp for tork is andrew vaughn.
-
klingberg seems like a little better nick leddy. and he's declining. and terrible on defense. seems like a lot of money to pay for an aging power play specialist.
-
its not a perfect comparison, but its fine when they get older.
