2012 was more memorable, but Cabrera's 2013 season was even better than his 2012 season.

21 of them were 4 outs or more. 18 were 6 outs or more.

He caught lightning in a bottle but for that one year you knew every time he came into close a game, the game was over. They have never had another reliever like that. They've had some guys who had a lot of saves, but you were sitting on the edge of your seat screaming at them in every appearance.

When I was down at Lakeland watching an interview session from out in the hall of a hotel, I heard quite a few conversations and saw some funny stuff. Gary Pettis was going to be interviewed and he walked by us with a beautiful blonde on his arm. As Pettis was being interviewed Hernandez started chatting it up with his girl friend. Pettis saw what was going on and was visibly annoyed. Hernandez feigned innocence, gave a hands off gesture and smiled.

And being a Yankees fan is almost as bad as being a Hamas supporter. Pretty close. 😀

I almost became a Cardinals fan at the beginning and Lou Brock was my first favorite player. Horton was my first favorite Tiger.

I am seeing reports on Twitter that both Willie Horton and Willie Hernandez died today. Very sad day. Edit: Horton did not die. Major screwup by Henning for which he has apologized.

nah, I'm done.

It's funny that he actually thought he had a chance with Cassidy Hutchinson.

which is why I don't care. He is 31 and hurt all the time.

I have no opinion on the Turnbull situation at all. How about that?

So, if Correa went nuts and demanded a billion dollar minimum, only offers that were a billion dollars or more would be serious offers?

Apparently, the Tigers viewed him as more than a desperation choice:

I also didn't think there was anything wrong with it in theory. It's just that everything Trump does is on the fly and I don't trust any Trump agreement to be anything more than something that benefits himself personally in terms of money or popularity. I also assume that anything good that comes out of anything involving him was because of something that someone else did. I think the main result of the meeting was Kim coming out of it feeling more relevant on the world stage which is not a good thing. But maybe pfife can tell us what they got out of the summit!

I've also read about the prison camps where his opponents and their families are starved and tortured. I don't know if that's still going on but it sounded absolutely brutal.

He's still kissing his ass. He said he was smart because he shows his country who the boss is.

That's pretty much what Stan said about Trump talking to Kim. 😃

It is interesting that Scott Harris was with the Giants at the time but I am not sure what his role was.

The aav was competitive and the contract length was competitive.

330 million suggests a desire for a lifetime deal. Five years is a lot different from 10 years. I am assuming he wasn't expecting 66 million per year.

I think Echoes just showed that it was a competitive offer.

The Tigers didn't offer 8 million. They offered 290 million. That sounds serious to me. It turned out he wasn't worth 330 million. So, maybe Avila was the smart one.

He never got that 330 million offer, did he? The Tigers probably made that offer hoping that he would settle for the highest bid. I really don't think they made a 290 million offer just for the fun of it. I know people hate Avila, but why would he do that if he wasn't serious? Avila was always transparent to a fault It was a serious offer.

I agree with a lot of what says. I just am not alweays optimistic that what he says will actually happen!

295 million sounds like a pretty serious offer to me! It was better than the one-yeat deal he ended up with. Just because Correa didn't like the offer doesn't mean the Tigers were not serious in attempting to sign him. Unless the Tigers sign Yamamoto, we will never know if they made a serious offer because it will probably not be leaked under Harris (which is probably a good thing).
