He'll try, but most of them are a lot smarter than him. He won't be able to do it. The oligarchs will continue to rule America.

I don't think Rockford ever wore a polo shirt.

I agree that if he goes that route, then that reduces the Tigers chances of getting him. I still think he'll get 5-6 years from some team.

I was a substitute paper boy a couple times. I didn't like it. People used to let their dogs run wild in those days.

Peace in the middle east. What could possibly go wrong?

16? Dude looks at least 25!

Thanks, I will wait five days before I buy eggs.

That is every billionaire business man in America.

You should see the rapists at the Ford plant.

Jones is too soft to catch. It's an outfielder name.

He's struggling with low self worth. https://www.instagram.com/crisleerodriguez/reel/C7MnUvMxyRg/

I had assumed the pusuit was already over since I didn't read anything about them getting invited to meet him.

I also don't care at all how much they pay them per year. If they can get someone for a low number of years and high annual value, that is great. I want Bregman and Flaherty because I think they will be good and help the Tigers win games, not because I care how much money Ilitch spends. If they can get them for shorter term and less risk, then that's better.

The Tigers run last year was beautiful and historic. It was also unprcedented and probably won't ever happen again. So, yes I want them to make acqusitions that can help them get back to the playoffs. Not just any acquistion though. Note that you were responding to a post where I was agreeing that they didn't need Verlander.

I still care less about Hunter Biden than I do about practically any frequent internet topic.

Yes, especially now when they have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs with a couple of acquisitions.

Flaherty for a short-term deal would be great. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/01/anthony-santander-jack-flaherty-reportedly-open-to-short-term-offers.html?utm_source=twitter

Yes, He was an unexpected choice. He basically replaces Torkelson offensively without improving their defense and perhaps making it worse. He's a good offensive player in his good years though. Hopefully, they get one of those years.

I doubt they have much interest in Santander. He's not a good fit.

I am sure he is considering that and would want to bring in someone who he thought worked well with young players. He also surely realizes that team chemistry is not always sustainable from year to year if you don't have enough talent. Hinch actually suggested that in the inerview with him and Harris early in the off-season.

I liked Harold Baines and wish he didn't become an example of a weak HoF, but he just was not a Hall of Fame talent. He had an OPS+ of 100 or more 19 years in a row, which is impressive consistency and longevity, but a 121 career OPS+ is not nearly enough for an average corner outfielder. Maybe, if he was a gold glove second baseman...

I don't think there is any evidence that playing for the Yankees helps somone get into the Hall of Fame. Every team has some questionable players in the HoF including the Tigers - Morris and Kell. I don't think Lemon belongs, but I do agree he is underrated. He is another one like Whitaker who never had a stand out season.

If Trump wasn't born into wealth, he would have spent his life going in and out of prisons and mental health treatment. He has lived the most charmed life of anybody ever.

Sabathia belongs. Whitaker belongs too. Being private does not help, but I think the main reason Whitaker is not in the Hall of Fame is because he never had an elite season which is what people remember. I don't believe there is any other player with 75 WAR who never had huge MVP or near MVP season. What he did have was more very good years than almost any middle infielder ever. His consistency and durability was truely remarkable and Hall of Fame worthy.
