  1. That is a possibility. It also seems like a good way to raise suspicion if done consistently
  2. I think it was inevitable this would start happening. It was incredibly stupid and hypocritical for baseball to get involved with gambling organizations. As long as they make a profit, I guess it's cool though.
  3. It's incredible that they all lost badly. That sounds like spin from MLB.
  4. OK, I see that he won 4.3% of his bets. That's still pretty bad
  5. The most unbelievable part of this story is that he lost all 25 bets? How does that happen? There is a .000003 probability of that happeing. The only way I can see that happeing is if he was being paid off to throw games and his payments were nullified because he was injured which would make this a bigger story.
  6. I expect him to win and it sucks. I still don't think he is smart enough or organized enough to do the damage people think. The scarier part to me is how many Americans actually would like to see him to do these scary things and how stupid they are to actually believe anything he says.
  7. I don't know how anybody could possibly watch Dump and think that he cares about about anybody other than himself.
  8. What I am concerned about is whether these guys can hit in MLB and all prospects are unproven. To expand on my my original comment. It appears that Harris is able to identify pitchers that other teams don't value so much and the Tigers were able get useful MLB production out of them. There is no such evidence with hitters so far. It's great that the Tigers have some good hitting prospects on the horizon, but I don't think listing out their top prospects really addresses my comment.
  9. Continued high rates are bad news for investors (both big and small) and people trying to buy a house or another major purchase. I am not sure why unchanged rates would be bad for the average worker though. The problem for the average worker is inflation. The catch 22 is that inflaton might not go away as long as we have continued economic growth and high employment. Then again, most people would rather pay high prices than be unemployed, so it's hard to root for that.
  10. If you don't want to hear opinions, then don't post anything online.
  11. Malloy, Lee, McGonigle and Clark have done nothing in the majors so far, so we can't that he found value in them when others didn't. Canha was already good before he came to the Tigers. The only one you could maybe say that Harris identified as a good player when others didn't value him as much is Vierling.
  12. Even with the swing and miss, he has performed with remarkable consistency throughout his career and this year he is again the same player. The concern with him was his age and the thought that he would require a 5-6 year contract. It turned out that that contract length was not needed, although we don't know whether he was intrested in the Tigers.
  13. Harris has impressed me with his ability to identify good pitchers, not so much with hitters so far.
  14. Good at bat for Molloy.
  15. Execution wouldn't be enough.
  16. Malloy is third among active Tigers in OPS.
  17. That's the problem. You can't come close to replicating MLB pitchers in the minors. Maybe here and there, but not on a consistent basis.
  18. They still haven't caught Adduci. You gotta know how to do it.
  19. They are decent enough now where they can try to win, but not good enough where they should trade away top prospects for short-term solutions. So, I think it makes sense to make more acquisitions like Canha who can give the team more offense without losing young talent or making long-term committments. If they are still within a couple of wins of the wildcard near the deadline, then I don't want them flipping good players for prospects.
  20. Just 2 1/2 behind the Twins in the wild card race and the next team ahead of them (the Royals) are starting to sink.
  21. I hope he is sharing the peanut butter knife.
  22. Good question, They seem have someone new every night and most of them are terrible.
  23. and a hard throwing lefty with command problems.
  24. I was joking too. I don't think the veteran presence thing is going to dramatically change a hitter.
