    If they are serious about contending over the next few years they will need to sign a guy like Flaherty. So why not just sign the bird in the hand, assuming he is amenable. And maybe they are trying, I don’t know.

    Three years ago the White Sox looked to have a bright future. Now this. Go figure.

    For all the kvetching about the offense the Tigers are 15th in MLB in runs/game. They are 14th in runs allowed/game. The epitome of a .500 team. Considering they are one of MLB's youngest teams the future isn't as dismal as some around here think.

    The Yankees have two hitters above .800. Every other non-injured regular is under .700. And they lead MLB in runs scored. The Mariners are in second place. Their top regular has a 716 OPS. I'm not arguing that the Tigers are playoff contenders right now, but I don't think they are that far off.

    Holton?

    Too bad he couldn’t cut it as an infielder.

    Scales and Gania rhapsodizing about how strong the Tigers bullpen has been this year. Then Apple posts stat showing that Tigers pen leads MLB in blown saves.

    Lots of traffic on the bases. Just couldn't cash in enough of them. This is better than the 3 up, 3 down that plagued them in June. Bullpen continues to be hit or miss as well.

    Malloy has 5 HRs in 93 PAs. That's a 30 HR pace. Can he play 1B? I kid.

    In fairness they have also had a ton of injuries.

    The Twins signed him to a minor league deal. That shows you what the league thought of him. The Twins have been living right lately. The Correa free agent deal (with SF?) falling through and WC suddenly turning into an All-Star? Fans don't appreciate the luck factor enough.

    I believe the Tigers traded Ben Oglive to the Brewers for Jim Slaton. Then Slaton signed back with Milwaukee after the season. So the Tigers essentially gifted Milwaukee an All Star.

    Exactly. The real take away is that the Tigers have had fewer of these opportunities than every other MLB team than the Reds, who they are tied with.

    He did post 99 OPS+ in his first stint with the Tigers. If he could bounce around the 100 OPS+ mark over the next few years he will be a very valuable player for the Tigers.

    And yet they still lost the WS.
  16. SeattleMike
    7 and 9 runs in two of the last 3 games. And the clunker was 3 runs instead of a shutout or 1 run. Progress.
  17. SeattleMike
    One guy an ace, another a 4/5 type starter. That is pretty good yield, as you suggest.
  18. SeattleMike
    True. But Crochet doesn’t have a long track record of starting. This will definitely knock Flaherty down a notch or two.
  19. SeattleMike
    For all of his faults he did have a .01 bWar for his month of service. Much better than Torkelson for instance.
  20. SeattleMike
    About the number of games Carpenter has missed.
  21. SeattleMike
    When is the last time that has worked for the Tigers?
  22. SeattleMike
    On a 96mph fastball.
  23. SeattleMike
    Is it such a good idea to sell so low on Torkelson?
  24. SeattleMike
    This Phillies team is classic Dombrowski, except the bullpen is more reliable. Lineup of mostly veterans acquired from other organizations with power and spotty defense in places. And a killer rotation, many of whom are homegrown. He is a master of the quick turnaround.
  25. SeattleMike
    He usually keeps the Tigers in the game. In 14 starts he’s allowed 3 runs or fewer 11 times, 12 if you only count earned runs. That will play as a #4 or #5 starter. He does need to go deeper in to games. He’s only averaging 5IP a start.
