The big unknown with catchers is pitcher management which is really difficult to quantify. How well does he work with pitchers especially youing pitchers? The young Tigers pitchers have performed above expectations this year. Fetter has gotten credit for that, Does Barnhart deserve any credit? I don't know.
I think the red hats view this the same way we view NewsMax or Washington Examiner. There is no way to get them to take it seriously. We can only hope the "Rinos" and the Bernie Bros are watching.
Right, It was the "at best" part I didn't agree with. He might not find himself again, but I think he has good upside with a reasonable chance of reaching it.
I think Baddoo's best is starting outfielder. He was already very close last year and that was after skipping two levels of the minors. I consider him the third young hitter most likely to succeed after Greene and Torkelson.
Trump is a perfect example of someone who should be red flagged from having a gun. Furthermore, people who put of up props like this should be red flagged.
Ultimately, it depends if it's their guy or not. if their guy was in the military, then it's a big deal. If it's the other team, then they'll find a way to knock down his service.
Henning might finally be right about the dimensions. It never used to play liked a pitcher's park, but the home run factor has been way down the last couple of years and probably this year too. I like it though. What they need is a front office who can design a team for the park.
I remember Rizzuto from the 80s. He was actually funny and he always had a smart straight man partner like Bill White or Tom Seaver, so it never bothered me. If you're going to be a goof, you have to know how to do it.
