apparently draft is so shallow that doing so may not be worth the risk

FG: 7 STL Rainer; 10 WASH Konnor Griffin; 11 DET Ryan Waldschmidt, OF, Kentucky; 13 SFG Caminiti

put Holton in rotation

Law dropped his final mock. 7 STL Rainer; 11 DET Caminit; 12 BOS Konnor Griffin. my uneducated opinion is Griffin over Caminiti

someone said his hip is screwed up; not sure that's official or not

the idea that there is a better catcher than Kelly out there that Harris is about to obtain is silly at best

possible this is Flaherty's last Comerica start as a Tiger. he is lined up to pitch on the road twice more including Thursday before trade deadline.

I don't understand why Maeda's failures have anything to do with Kelly's future performance/health. If Harris is too f******* scared to sign Carson Kelly to a 3/36M extension, he should just quit now.

multi-position switch hitters with speed are easy to roster, even if they don't get better, like Willi has

it would need to be an irrational return, where every fan says, Yeah they had to take that reminder for Os fan that the Tigers current trade return on Verlander + JD Martinez + Castellanos + Upton + Kinsler + Boyd + Fulmer + Castro + Parades + Candelario + ERod is Jake Rogers, so pardon us for being a little testy

include all 4 of those guys and I'll do it, but Ilitch has taken away my authority to approve trades

Canha and Urshela are cratering; doubt either would even catch a low A reliever at this point Harris needs to make a hard call on both Flaherty and Kelly - don't sit on your hands Scott; do something! I'll add Vierling to Ibanez tier - both could have nice value on the bench for a contender as other have said, this week should be clarifying

Every Sunday home game, the Tigers should pick a random fan to play SS. Call it a try out. Could it work? Of course it could! If they don't try, they have already failed.

your optimism is really impressive, or completely bat-**** insane; probably both they have ONE high-end talent in the top 4 levels of the organization - Riley Greene Carp, Tork, Keith, Jung, Lee, Dingler, Rogers, Ibanez, Vierling, Meadows are all guys who can contribute, some more so than others but winning teams have 3-4 of those guys on them not 10 or 11 assuming that the Tigers actually know how to develop talent - which apparently they do not - the talent available is neither deep or high end

I would put Flaherty on IL. It might suppress his trade value, but the way things are going I want to head off any injury that stops him from being traded altogether. Worse case scenario he gets injured,hurts his back really bad, no QO made, and Scott is left holding an empty bag for the second year in a row.

would have been a nice get. again we see trades being made not involving top prospects.

I think you would split the difference either: John and Jane Woods Gipson-Long Richardson or Jane and John Gipson-Woods Richardson-Long. Depends on whether you prefer your call sign to be WGLR or GWRL. Probably need a poll to explore further.

all would greatly prefer Holliday, but there are other people who can play SS besides him. of course, Harris could not find any of those other people last winter to guard against Javy's continued collapse, which is why they have AAAA McKinstry and FFFF Kreidler.

Probably the most offensive thing ever posted on MTF. Bigbie? Baddoo? Cruz? Vilade? Navigato? Kreidler? Pure Insanity.

this lost season might be the best time to convert Holton to a starter.

did not want to have to carry Bronny's luggage probably

Clark was always the long term-high risk play, but I see Langford had a fantastic June.

I think Seattle and Philadelphia and Atlanta and maybe very few other teams are willing to move big time prospects. But most teams just won't do it.

I think they are hoping that the humiliation ends sooner rather than later; Harris could help move them from historically incompetent to really bad.

having just the middle game of a 3 game LAA set go back to Detroit makes little sense; probably a Manfred idea
