You have to be able to hit before you can be a clutch hitter.

That is absolutely true. You can have too little hitting though.

He seems to have decent knowledge of prospects, but I don't know if he has insider info. Tigers twitter likes him, but they are always pumping each other up, so who knows. I am skeptical about him having great sources.

America's biggest problem:

Defensive metrics bounce around a lot from year to year. A good defender should have plus signs every year, but it's not precise like hitting stats. +21 could be out of whack due to randomness or because of shifts. I don't know how much Statcast does to factor shifts into the equation. My original post was in response to someone who said that Schoop is a solid defender which I think the annual stats show to be true.

+21 is really high, but he has been consistently above average: 2016 +13 2017 +6 2018 +5 2019 +4 2020 +5 Top second bassemen from 2016 - 2022 Schoop +55 LeMahieu +42 Starlin Castro +31 Kinsler +29 Segura +23 Odor +23

Tigers best defenders according to Baseball Savant Outs Above Average Schoop +21 (best in baseball!) Baez +3 Hill +2 W. Castro +1 Torkelson +1

Baddoo gets a hit off the lefty.

It was never exciting! It was potentially exciting though.

He knows that laws do not pertain to him and he can get away with anything he wants.

Fake injuries..Is he the Venezuelan Adduci?

I get the feeling that Avila and Hinch know more than they are telling us.

My guess is that there is something going on in his life right now that is more important to him than baseball and adding more millions.

Where is everyone getting that he doesn't want to play anymore? Did I miss that story?

I wish he were playing, but I don't really care about the story. Maybe, if I knew what the story was, I'd be more interested. I still don't know who Johnny Depp is. I googled him once, but the story was so uninteresting that I forgot.

I was worried that the pitchers would get hurt and that the hitters wouldn't be ready. So negative.

Was that progressives not voting or fed up working class white males switching from Dem to Rep?

If Democrats didn't vote in 2016, why did Cinton get the more votes in 2016 than Obama got in 2012?

I would have voted for a cockroach over Trump.

He did, but I was giving an example of someone who quit after putting all the work in to become a professional athlete which is what Gehringer asked.

Rob Richie.

Yes, Biden has been a weak President within the parameters of a normal presidency. Trump belongs in a whole different category of awful.

I just want to be clear. We are now excluding Trump from the official list of Presidents?

Massachusetts has always had the most uncool politicians.
