  1. I'd like to think Harris will work to add pieces that will raise the ceiling over the next two years.
  2. The record is bad. The run differential is ugly. But the vibe is much better, probably because there have not been many 2-8 stretches and for the most part the guys counted on for the future I've made progress.
  3. Those early games count in the standings but that the Tigers have played mostly .500 ball since then also tells me something. If they had started 8 games over .500 and played 15 games below .500 since then that would be also tell me something. Ones more positive than the other.
  4. As go Greene and Torkelson as go the Tigers I guess. Combined something like 2-30 over these last three games.
  5. If Baez is killing it for the first 4 months of 2024 that would very likely mean the Tigers are close enough to the top of the division that he won't be traded.
  6. The International League this year is ridiculous. You look at those Toledo numbers and assume they would be at the top of the IL . Instead they are middle of the pack. Juiced ball? Robo umps? Lousy pitching?
  7. In hindsight what an incredibly ill-fated move. I was agnostic about dumping Candelario and you probably can't assume it would have played out exactly this way, but 5 more wins puts the Tigers just a game or two out of first place.
  8. I agree with many that the Tigers desperately need to add two starting pitchers this off-season, one if they extend Erod.
  9. If Baez could just get back to being a 95-100 OPS+ hitter he would be a 2-3 WAR player, assuming his defense stays strong. Maybe they can figure something out with him during the off-season.
  10. Or...once Miggy retires none of this will matter.
  11. A game over .500 since the All-Star break, almost entirely on the backs of Greene, Tork, and Carpenter, and to a lesser extent Badoo (at least on offense). Easy upgrade to offense next year will be to get some power from the DH position (Malloy?).
  12. I think the Carpenter is bad at defense stuff is overblown. Many defensive metrics rank him as decent. Yes, he's a had a few muffs at the wall, although today it was the sun more than anything.
  13. 112 wRC+ since May 1. BTW, both Greene and Carpenter in top 20 in MLB since then. I believe both were injured during the 9-game losing streak.
  14. Greene with two hits, Carpenter with a HR, and Tork 3-3 with HR. A win would be gravy.
  15. I agree on the pitching. They need to extend Erod or replace him with an equivalent talent and add another starting pitcher. The 2024 free agent class of pitchers is much better than position players and the Tigers payroll will be near the bottom of the league. No reason not to be aggressive in roster upgrades this offseason.
  16. They have basically been a .500 team since starting 2-9 so playing .500 ball next year, with the right roster moves, seems within reach.
  17. Yes I was emphasizing his youth by listing his age
  18. He’s only 22 and has had some success at the plate in the minors. Considering he was acquired for cash not a bad flyer.
  19. I was just about to post the same thing. Weird
