  1. Trump is dominating all the polls: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/2024_republican_presidential_nomination-7548.html#polls
  2. I think if there is a bunch of candidates like 2016, Trump will win the nomination. If they consolidate around one opponent, they may be able to beat him.
  3. The lists are fun, but I think it would be sufficient to just have tiers. I want to know which Tigers prospects have a chance to be stars, which have a chance to be starters, which have a chance to make the majors. Those might not be the exact tiers, but something like that. I don't need to see a rank attached to their name. I just want to know which ones to follow most closely.
  4. I was thinking of subscribing a couple of years ago until I saw Emily was the lead Tigers writer. I have nothing against her personally, but I haven't seen any evidence that she has any expertise in scouting.
  5. Get rid of both of them and Shep too.
  6. I am more interested in the typical line-up versus RH than the opening day line-up, but either way it's going to change frequently and none of the permutations look good. Greene CF Meadows RF Carpenter DH Baez SS Haase C Torkelson 1B Maton 3B Schoop 2B Baddoo LF
  7. He's from Chicago. Granderson would be a great analyst. I like Petry too, but he seems like he'd appeal more to the radio audience.
  8. Maton has hit lefties better than righties...in a very small sample size. I do think he'll be platooned though. Harris was targeting a LH hitting infielder, probably for that reason.
  9. Yes, all the time. And my filing cabinets are so full I struggle to stuff new folders in there.
  10. Great, after speeding up the game this year, they are going to slow it down in the future with more replays.
  11. I am outraged that the Tigers signed Wingenter.
  12. He has a lot of followers because he has MLB at the end of his name. I don't follow him, but he has showed up on my timeline a lot and I believe he is a Tigers fan. There is probably a reason I have never followed him, but I don't remember what it is. Calico Joe is also a character in what was probably John Grisham's worst book.
  13. Yes, he is a good depth player who gets shuttled between the majors and minors. Fortunately for him, he found a team that was able to give him a slightly bigger role.
  14. There are worse players than Reyes, but I don't think I've ever seen so much angst over the release of a 4th outfielder on a bad team.
  15. Vierling does not appear to be a srarting outfielder unless he learns to hit, but there are two things that make him intriguing as a role player: (1) He has elite speed. (2) He has hit left handers quite well in a small sample size.
  16. I truly do not get the continued angst over Victor Reyes. He had plenty of opportunities to show what he can do. He's a backup outfielder with a .294 OBP and no plus skills. Vierling might not end up being better, but his floor seems to be Reyes. Let's see if he can do better.
  17. I don't care about bullpen pieces on a non-contending team. The bullpen will work itself out especially with Fetter.
  18. I, for one, am not outraged. I don't really care about Cisnero one way or the other. I am just a little surprised he survived the off-season purge.
  19. Everybody deserves attention! That is what great about this forum. 😄
  20. I never knew a Cisneros before. It might be a regional thing. I get Greene versus Green.
  21. Given the current status and direction of the Tigers, I think there is no player on the 40-man roster I care less about than Jose Cisnero. Maybe Zach Short. I'd be happy if people stopped calling him Cisneros. Why do they do that?
  22. I don't really care whether he's on the roster or not or how much they pay him, but given all the turnover and commitment to youth, it's a little surprising that they are going out of their way to keep him.
  23. As long as you have a picture of a flag, an eagle and Jesus, you're good.
