Like Tyler Holton. I thinks it's probably a scouting thing more than numbers though.

He had a strong year at Toledo. As Echoes said, he may end up there again.

Devin for Nevin. May Sweet be this year's Holton

Is this something you know to be true? Or are you just translating what Doyle is reporting?

Yes, He deserves no credit for something that might happen a year from now. He's a smart guy and I think he will be a good GM/president/director/whatever, but right now he gets an incomplete grade and there are still a lot of Avila acquisitions making good strides lately.

He would "act" in disbelief. Trump has no intellect, but he knows how to get people riled up.

Didn't he make Ben Carson Secretary of Housing and Urban Development because he needed a Black for the urban job? I think I stole that from oblong.

What if you have a bone spur?

He would be blocked by Maton.

He was also one of the first players to make a presence on social media which the Tigers might not have liked.

They could point to his lack of strikeouts prior to his injury.

Arbitration is part of the business of MLB, but the very nature of the process has the potential upset a player peronally and thus it's something that both players and management try to avoid. Dombrowski and Avila, for example, made a point of it. Most players likely get over it quickly, but I don't think the notion that some player might get upset by it should be brushed aside so quickly.

That's all he has wanted his whole life - a show where he is the primary actor. He is getting what he asked for.

Juan + Juan = 2

It might get him more votes.

I wanted him on the team last year. Not sure if I wanted him for four years starting at age 30.

Another thing about Chafin is he is a reliever. Relievers don't usually have long shelf lives, so teams build bullpens year to year. There is no sense getting upset about the loss of a non-dominant 32 year-old reliever. Candelario...They should have kept!

Wasn't there a case several years ago where a player filed for less than the team offered?

At least we now have a better idea of who the five starters will be at the beginning of the season.

I doubt that happens given his health.

I can see that. In my line of work, speed and efficiency, while good to have at the micro level, are probably less important than willingness to completely redo an analysis which you spent weeks putting together or the experience to know how to look at a problem from a bunch of different angles because there is no best way to do anything in research.

My experience is that younger people tend to learn things faster, but lack of experience often causes them to get frustrated with the many redos required in research.

Yes, I have noticed that some of the jobs specifically ask for a college student or very recent graduate.

That is really surprising. Perhaps, they don't want to lose their social security.
