Zach Harper of The Athletic has them taking Mathurin at 5, Murray at 4, with Ivey slipping to Spurs at 9. That would be surprising.
-
Cash considerations are nice, but I prefer cash.
-
after 51, they don't pick until 117, so they had better get those first 2 right (even though they have been drafting better lately)
-
they can only move needle so much, and they did others have noted, you are trying to get a few sane people on the margins to see the truth (hardcore MAGA is just lost forever) and I think this helped ultimately, Trump and the other main baddies will escape justice once again
-
I would suggest the ability to easily identify a handful of genuine prospects (including yes some under the radar guys) from the last 10 years is a damning indictment of Avila and the Tigers.
-
yeah. having Short, Niko, or Iglesias as the starting SS could very well have been the result of not signing Baez again, Al has been really bad at multiple jobs for the Tigers for literally decades not exaggerating that his best skill seems to be Rule 5 drafting
-
Lynn has a multipart series this week on the tigers decades long failures in the minors. it is brutal - but not nearly brutal enough. he also claims that Venezuela's collapse hurt the tigers a lot, but I don't think their Ven system actually produced much more than organizational players. also the tiger really think think that this round of international players will be different, which is exactly what they thought for the last 30 years edit: it is just amazing how much DD's trades and Mike's $ covered up abject system failures
-
i cannot believe this team is 3 games ahead of KC
-
we passed that point years ago; outside of a few recent wins, they have literally decades of failing to identify or develop amateur talent which Avila was totally involved in; they have been particularly horrible in the international market and developing position players; the small recent successes only look good in light of their abject historical failure; Avila should have been fired a dozen times
-
can't you argue this either way? pitchers are so susceptible to injury, it does not make sense to repeatedly spend FA dollars on pitchers, so the answer is to draft and develop as many arms as you can, hoping to find more Mizes and Faedos, rather than Burrows and Crawfords.
-
might be a months long destination if Tork goes to Toledo for the summer
-
yes its true that we should document all this criminality, but the MAGAs just don't care they were duped - they love the lies; they want the lies; they need the lies
-
I think the vast majority of these people are delighted to be lied to; they are willfully and aggressively ignorant.
-
saves Chris some money, so there's that
-
Trade deadline is now 7 weeks away. I honestly don't know who is doing the legwork on trades. I assume Avila still makes final call, and obviously his record on small moves has been OK, and on big moves has been tragic. People often overpay for BP arms, and boy they have a lot of them.

Baddoo is batting .114 at Toledo, so he is just about ready to return

perfect sh** storm: Baddoo and Grossman turned into pumpkins; Candy and Miggy are underpowered for 3b and DH; and Candy has struggled; Schoop and Baez are super streaky and both are batting at the very lowest end of expectations; Meadows has ZERO HRs !; Haase's best year will turn out to be last year; Greene injured; Tork struggling and team riding that out; zero depth exposed by insane number of injuries; Clemens, Short, Hill, Cameron and Reyes all have very low ceilings; what in God's name do they see in Willi Castro that gets him so many tries?

mayor of Newark said women make the best cops because they need to first be problem solvers

SF sent Joey Bart down

I drive a VW ID4; it is like driving a space ship; incredible car; I only go DC East, Stafford South, Leesburg West and Gaithersburg North, so car fits all my needs. I am never going back to ICE.
-
Dave fired Joe Girardi, who continually put a horrible defense team on the field that Dave assembled and failed to make a crappy bullpen Dave built not crappy.
-
4 out of 5 ain't bad
-
Yes. Retired and released.
