yeah, I saw that he's going to start. It's just that the velocity numbers on the charts are an apples to oranges comp since he was in different roles.

Putting him back in the bullpen might do that.

At least, we would finally have an honest speaker. I don't think you'd last too long in politics!

It would be a downgrade at shortstop for 2024, but perhaps the money saved is used for an upgrade elsewhere. Hopefully, he has a good first half and they can get something for him before he leaves.

I would like that.

The mullet is OK if he's going to be a reliever. Otherwise, no.

Shop all the relief pitchers. Relievers have a lot more value to a bad team in trades than they have on the field.

Mason Englert's family. His mom is on the left. Very decent looking family. This aint the Adducis.

Good interview with Malloy by FanGraphs. If this guy is any good, he is going to be a big fan favorite. He reminds me a little of Curtis Granderson.

Apparently, Justyn-Henry Malloy goes by the name of J-Hen. So, it's J-Hen the MudHen. I prefer Hank Malloy. That's the name of a hitter.

I started getting the flu shot regularly 7 years ago when I started teaching again. I do think it helps.

They probably won't be better on the field in 2023. I am looking to see what kinds of smaller moves they make and also looking to see how their injured pitchers progress. I can see them not making big moves this off-season and then going for it next year after they shed Cabera's salary and get more info on their young pitchers.

There are reasons for concern. However, they just did a major shakeup of the front office. It's hard to be patient given the last several years, but I think it's fair to give them some time.

LOL, You used to be on the old board? Right? Do you have the courage to reveal yourself?

I was originally just hoping for some intelligent conversation. Then I figured out that you were either incapable or disinterested.

Gehringer is definitely the most mature among us Motown Forumers (MFers?).

Says the guy who said last spring that Baez was the same as Neifi Perez and Reyes was ready to break out.

The plexiglass principle.

Lugo is not exciting, but is OK. The rest are uninteresting.

I am not a high risk person and do not regret getting the vaccine. I am getting both the flu and second Covid booster tomorrow Some people heard the word "vaccine" and they assumed that they would be immune to Covid if they got it. That is understandable. However, no responsible person in the science or medical community touted it as such. It was always a vaccine that would make it less likely that people would get ill enough to be hospitalized if they got Covid. That is good for me, but it's also good for the world at large because it keeps the hospitals from getting filled up. I also am not in favor of Covid vaccine mandates. I am in favor of better education and less misinformation about the vaccine. I am not sure how that is achieved.

That is some low expectations!

Believe it or not, I actually share your skepticism that Ilitch will ever spend and that Harris is a genius who is going to turn everything around. However, Harris does seem like a smart guy who has hired some good people and I think he deserves a more of a chance than just two weeks. Reyes and the Castros were place holders with near zero value on a good team. There is no need to find a replacement before dropping them.

Reyes did live up to his potential as a decent back-up outfielder on a losing team. Holding onto him thinking he could do more would have been a mistake.

Every single White House lies frequently and that sucks. The difference between every other President's White House and the Trump White House is that there always seems to have been some unwritten agreement between what you can lie about and how far you can go with it. Trump's White House had no limits. They just made stuff up pushed conspiracy theories.

If you were the GM, they would still have Reyes and you'd be thinking he was a good starting outfielder.
