Compensatory pick from the loss of Al Avila.

firing AA is like receiving 10 #1 draft picks

If the Tigers win out that will make them 83 and 79. That’s a winning season in my book.

so youre saying theres a chance

and i thought AA couldnt get any worse at his job

6 years of control over a 21 year old pitcher for Grossman is the best outcome they could hope for.

sad, but true with Avila as GM

I think this is most like swimming upstream. 

You fight like hell, swim like hell... but the stream (injuries/ other teams/ etc.) are against you. And it sucks trying to swim upstream, and it takes forever, and it's dispiriting to have setbacks and/or to take forever trying to get upstream...

But if salmon can get upstream, and spawn... then why can't we?

because our salmon is fat and stupid

Saw an interesting article in the Freep about Carpenter.  Robson was after to tweak his swing all last year.  Carpenter didn't want to do it, but tried a couple of adjustments in the offseason and eventually spent a few days with Robson's hitting coach.  The change in his swing seemed to result in a big power increase right away and its carried over into the season

Can we get Robsons coach to the Tigers ASAP

What if we had taken Johnathan Taylor instead of Swift?

He'd be lionized/injured by now?

I don't know about intimidating but I do think it's pretty cool...

well i believe it started as a war dance to intimidate

If he makes the major league team, he can teach them a haka to perform before each game.  The Red Sox and the Yankees would crap their pants.

 

Am I the only one that thinks this is the opposite of intimidating?
