  1. Another example of scouts knowing more than fans reading minor league boxscores?
  2. You are right about this year. It doesn't matter. He could get in the way next year if they acquire a couple of hitters and wat to move Meadows to DH or just want to use the DH to rotate and rest players.
  3. I used to love Cabrera hit as much as any Tiger in my lifetime. Not anymore. He's been a replacement level DH for 6 years. He has reached his milestones and it's not much fun watching him anymore. I am pretty sure he'll be back again next year though. Assuming he is back, I hope he has a Pujols type role where he is part of a revolving DH position.
  4. Fans and media won't care, but Tigers employees would.
  5. Undrafted free agent and one of the best baseball stories of the 70s.
  6. Jake: "Inge is the greatest defensive player in baseball history"
  7. It was a bad photo shop job. The original photo has Epstein in it.
  8. But those guys weren't the new Lou Whitaker and Lance Parrish.
  9. The point was to get prospects for guys they weren't going to be able to sign. The execution was poor. I wished they had extended both of them, but I don't think Ilitch was going to allow it.
  10. Randy Smith. His drafts were terrible and his trades were pointless. There never seemed to be a plan in place for any length of time. The drafts under Avila were better and his transactions made sense in terms of correctly identifying weaknesses, but his execution was poor.
  11. The problem is they have a whole team of Tommy Brookenses and they can't even replicate his stache.
  12. So, Tork is Mike Laga and Greene is Glenn Wilson?
  13. Anyone who has observed Trump for the past 40 years knows that he was using the classified documents to make money in some way. That much is clear. The specifics are open to all kinds of speculation.
  14. It's highly proprietary, so that is unlikely. He may know people that do have access to it and get their opinions along with his own observations.
  15. They have been terrible for six years supposedly with the intention of re-building. 12 out of 30 teams make the playoffs and they play in in medium market division. It is reasonable for fans fans to expect a contender by now.
  16. I remember patience from 1989 to 2005. It's more fun to bitch and moan.
  17. For what it's worth, Stewart made some top 100 prospect lists.
  18. I don't see what's so great about Hinch, but I don't think getting rid of him is going to fix anything. Getting a new GM should change things, although improvement would take time.
  19. He was the ransom for Eduardo Rodriguez.
  20. The eternal optimist versus the cynical pessimist! Fun times. 😄
  21. Without question, but if they couldn't sign him then I wouldn't do it because I don't expect The Tigers to be very good the next two years.
  22. I would if I knew they could sign him long term.
