TBH, I don't really have one at this point other than keep doing what they are doing. Developing and building their pitching at all levels Keep doing the same with their position players at the plate and on the field. Hold off on making moves til they have a better idea of who is what and how the division looks, don't be fooled by fools gold. Whether that is July of 24, winter of 24 or July of 25.

You still post on Mlive?

Good signing. Holmes continues to make moves to solidify the team and give him more options on draft day.

Here is the article that discusses Olson and potential impact of super two status on the roster decision. From today's Freep Detroit Tigers 2024 Roster Prediction 4.o: Pitching competition is going down to the wire Full article at the link. Here is the section on Olson: Something to keep in mind: Olson has 123 days of service time after making his MLB debut in June 2023, whereas Mize has two years, 111 days and Manning has two years, 98 days. The Tigers don't have anything to gain by optioning Mize and Manning, but that's not the case with Olson. Olson is currently on the borderline for Super Two status if he stays on the major-league roster for each of the next two seasons, but if he gets optioned to Triple-A Toledo for a few weeks, he won't have any chance of qualifying for Super Two status, which is the difference between being eligible for salary arbitration three times or four times before entering free agency. The specific cutoff date for Super Two status varies on a year-to-year basis, but in recent history, the Super Two cutoff has been as high as two years, 128 days and as low as two years, 115 days.

I think Olson goes down for a few different reasons, yet, as others have said, just a matter of time til he is pitching in Detroit. I am curious on what they do with Drew Anderson, guy has been impressive.

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet Important note on the Justin Fields trade: At least four additional teams inquired about trading for Fields, but Fields’ representation asked for him not to be traded there. He wanted the #Steelers, and the #Bears did right by him.

In that scenario I may have taken the OT that went to GB a pick later more than Verse. Not a huge fan of King but overall it attacks needs.

HAHAHA, Mark G there is a name from the past. I forgot about him, thankfully, whether here or at Tigstown.

All fair statements imo, not that it matters, lol. I will only say that the MLB field had lapped the Tigers in the technology department by 5, 10, 15 or more laps. It cannot be said enough just how far behind the Tigers were in analytics and technology under DD.

I think Holmes is position, based on the signings this week to go in variety of directions. Personally, I hope OL. Either a guy who can play OG immediately or OG/C OG/T, guy who can backup Ragnow or Decker if need be.

@1984Echoes Think I took that from the All good.

For those on twitter this is a worthy follow, guy knows the cap and understands the nuances of it. He has been posting for years on the other board referenced recently. https://x.com/DeadStroke96/status/1768590372895158509?s=20 Edit: and obviously no clue how to post this here.

That would stun me, 2026?, I think he plays more this season and a lot more in 2025. Reader is coming off the quad and I think you will see a heavy rotation on the DL as a whole. To trade up for a guy, give up multiple picks, take him in the third and don't see time until his contract year? You may be right but I think he earns the time and plays a lot in 2025. I'm looking forward to see what he has done this offseason body wise and then the new DL coach as well. Edit: or he is a complete bust and out by 2026

Agree with this and also think he will benefit B Martin quite a bit as well.

Well, if the role players keep playing like Okwara, Harris, and Cominsky a pay cut vs being cut may be preferred.

Do they break down zone vs man ratings?

I think you need to add context on this before going to your conclusion. If was Goff, or Glasgow or others you might be right, however, it's players who are role players who can tell the team no as easily as they can say yes. They have also give Glasgow more money, Alex more money, JRM more money.

I've seen it as the lower of the two third round picks plus two six round picks coming back to the Lions.

Small sample size on Melifonwu, hopefully he can stay healthy as he showed signs in year three of being a positive player. Kirby has definitely looked good, but room for improvement as well, last year wasn't great for him.

The Den, I take it, spend way WAY too much time there, lol. Just a loud couple of posters there, the usual suspects

As @gehringer_2 stated, MLB.tv is great, have used since it's inception phone, tablet, laptop etc. Of course Streameast.live is another option if you don't want to pay for it

May be faster to take 321??, not sure of the exact highway number, from Jville to Gainesville then 75 to rte 471 exit, six miles south of the turnpike. Exit 321 off 75 then 54 miles to downtown Lakeland, 35mi of which is a 60mph road where most do 70+. Miss all the Orlando crap, guessing this isn't new information for you.

I will say two things have improved. The toll lanes through downtown Orlando make it far easier to get through that area, but Disney is Disney. 429 is improved at the I4 connection, but still it's I4 for 20mi where you can stop for ten minutes for no accident no anything and then do 80mph for ten mile before you stop again for no reason, lol.

There is no such thing as running to Orlando or Tampa via I4, stop and go stop and go stop and well you get the idea, I may choose 95 in Miami over I4.

I'm a dipa/triple IPA or barrel aged stout guy, one of the beer snobs that many don't like 🙂 . If a stout isn't 10%abv it will be ok but not my preference, sipping stouts iow. Second hobby is bourbon. One of the top 10 desert stout breweries in the country is in Tampa, another one similar in quality in St Pete. Swan will have a stout you will enjoy and their IPA's are good. I host a beer share in December each year, started in 2019, where we have quite a few folks fly/drive in and ship their beer ahead of time if not driving. Usually about 30-40 of us with $4-5,000 in beer on the bar at nights end. We usually hit a few breweries in ATL or this year we hit Greenville SC for a day. All are welcome, buddies brewery hosts the event and shuts down at 6pm for the share.
