  1. Despite his flaws as an analyst, he has always come across as an honest and friendly person. I have heard that he is genuinely that way, so yes it would be really difficult to fire him. Hell, if fans can put up with Todd Jones and Craig Monroe, they can deal with a fading Price for a few monrhs.
  2. The combined no hitter was cool, but the best thing is that their two arguably most important future pieces came through nicely after recent injuries.
  3. He's never been in a Diary Queen or a Burger King or any place like that except for campaigning. When he wants fast food, somebody gets it for him. The regular guy thing is all BS, but everyone falls for it.
  4. The 1968 Tigers had remarkable positional versatility and they won the World Series. They had something the 2023 Tigers didn't have though.
  5. It's a great place to watch a game once. It's like going back in time to another era. It is a terrible place to watch games if you go regularly.
  6. I like "control the strike zone". "Positional versatility" makes me envision players playing out of position.
  7. Trammell doesn't want to talk about anything but Whitaker.
  8. That's why they need Shep!
  9. Frank Tanana taking over the whole show. I like it.
  10. Todd Jones has let himself go. Too many peanut butter sandwiches.
  11. Joe Castiglione has made that work for 40 years in Boston. I don't care for him, but he's very popular.
  12. No, I wouldn't offer him 4 years. He is better than what they have, but not worthy of a long-term deal.
  13. Not explicitly.
  14. I think that is the opposite of what he would have done. I think Avila was pretty consistent in his goal of acquiring and retaining young players. He just wasn't particularly good at it and he was bad at other things such as free agent signings.
  15. There are always things going on behind the scenes that fans don't know about and they are more informed than us. That was true even with Avila. However, that does not mean everything they do is in my interests, nor does is mean that they never make mistakes.
  16. I understand that. I did not like the Candelario move when they made it, so I am being consistent too. I think the Paredes move gets less push back because most people liked the move when it was made.
  17. That was his best year though. Candelario did that in his worst year. I agree none of this stuff really matters, but this whole discussion started when people were defending Harris/Hinch for not having a decent 3B because there was nobody available. The fact is they already had one which is the main point I've been making on this topic the last couple of days.
  18. He had more bWAR in 2022 than either Maton, Vierling or McKinstry has had in their careers.
  19. You can also keep track of the posts saying that he is 3rd in majors in WAR among third basemen. 😃
  20. 2020 - Candelario led the Tigers in WAR 2021 - Candelario led the Tigers in WAR 2023 first half - Candelario has more WAR than any other Tiger. You know, I don't really care that much about Candelario, but I have a difficult time understanding why the majority of posters here seem to be trying to convince the minority that there is no possible reason why the Candelario would have been any use to the Tigers at all this year.
  21. It's better to just let him go and get nothing.
  22. I still don't think I would have noticed a significant difference on Twitter if everybody wasn't talking about Musk. Maybe I just don't use it enough. But if a new site can destroy the little bitch and still give me the news I want, then I am all for it. I am going to go wherever Tigers fans and sabers gather.
  23. They've been telling me Harris is a genius.
  24. I'll take the player having the better year. If he doesn't fit in the future, then trade him.
