  1. GQP did it again; reduced expectations for Biden's performance so low people were expecting a incoherent blob of goo; Biden is solid, but really appears to knock it out of the park because of the triumph of low expectations. Thank you GQP! And the visuals of him talking to everyone late into the night were so good
  2. KLaw top 30 out; no mock but Caleb Bonemer (MI HS 3B) is ranked 11th.
  3. if you keep digging, you eventually will get out of this hole. just keep digging. you're doing great. almost there.
  4. The effort some of you are putting into crazy ideas to motivate Baez by humiliating him or benching him in favor of clearly lesser players is really weird. Dude is a dumpster fire and also the best SS the Tigers have by far but the moment people start pointing that out, people feel the need to come up with some crazy ideas that he is not getting the $98M he is guaranteed. Feel free to keep pointing out he sucks at the plate (he does) but your olde timey "solutions" are silly.
  5. Baez had his worst full season in the majors last year, while posting his best strike out rate ever. looks like he is trying to do just what they want him to do, and it has clearly all blown up in their faces
  6. AJ needs to grab him by the collar, and really lay into him. Give 'em the business. Give 'em the what for. Tell him that namby pamby stuff won't be tolerated and to stop being a duke of limbs. I think we can all agree that is the one sure way to compel him to create more contact.
  7. like I said, people keep telling me its meaningless
  8. Jung just won a minor league gold glove award at 2b, but people tell me that's meaningless
  9. for CB and DE, using free agency to get high end talent at one position and depth at the other, would allow Holmes to do his true BPA approach and grab whoever he wants in the draft
  10. Santana and Pacheco are not looking good
  11. Danielle Hunter can't be franchised
  12. it would be a show of incredible hubris to think you can ignore one of the NFL's major talent infusion streams (free agency) and still build a SB winner the Chiefs and the Patriots routinely spent significant money in free agency during their SB runs nothing wrong to prioritizing your guys, but when you have gaping holes on your roster at CB and DE, it would be a huge mistake to not use free agency to make your team better
  13. no need to kill them all, just cull the majority
  14. yes. they are allowed to do whatever they want. But, once 5 justices agree, Roberts can issue a decision. Dissents have been formally added months after decisions. Roberts will have a 7-2 vote against Trump right away. Roberts will write the decision, and I will say that he will wait as long as he can for Thomas and Alito to come around. That is a good faith reason for Roberts to wait a little bit of time, even if Thomas and Alito will act in bad faith by trying to delay as long as possible. Roberts really wants it to be 9-0, even if he ends up with 2 insane concurrences by Thomas and Alito.
  15. also, you forgot to call him a lollygagger, that would obviously compel him to create more contact
  16. we are effing doomed. these people literally live in a different reality.
  17. They have glaring needs at DE and CB and somewhat less so at DT. They have the cap room to make more than one significant move. I would be happy with just one impact signing. It would be a mistake to not do so IMO.
  18. still possible to get real value from Hooker and Sorsdal; Martin and Green did not show much of anything though
  19. all we know is Avila drafted the most risky type of player #3 - a HS pitcher and Harris took the risk of passing on a more proven college bat, who had an absolutely monstrous year, for a HS bat from a cold weather state time will tell if the picks were worth the risk
  20. What a headline this should be- "Self-proclaimed multi-billionaire unable to come up with $500M bond in case where he is charged with inflating his assets."
  21. Amazing to think the Muslims-Americans would do anything to help get Trump re-elected. Reap what you sow dumb assess. Trump is: the guy with 3 different Muslim bans (1st 2 voided, 3rd upheld) who vows another one when re-elected the guy who gut aid to Palestinians - aid that Biden restored his first few months in office the guy who attacks the squad as unAmerican, worthy of deportation
  22. he's a better short term fit in that McKinstry is the back up SS, with Kriedler behind him, and any long term absence by Baez would be filled by one or both also, he's the better short term fit in that if Harris goes with the nuclear option on Baez's contract sometime in 2025, the Tigers would actually have an in house replacement, which right now, they don't seem to have anywhere in the system as others noted, its early, and Jung may turn out to be a fantastic ML player
  23. unclear to me why draft pick mistakes are exempt from criticism. if they hit on Jung, great, good for them. but right now the Tigers would be absolutely do a Jung for Neto swap. even if Jung turns out to be a better player, Neto is a much better short term and long term fit
  24. Bellinger gets 3/80 from the Cubs, 30, 30 and 20. Can opt out after both years. Total guarantee is super low and considering his past injuries seems to be what the market would bear
