If we're going to spend, we need to go in with a shopping list. We're going to be giving up our 1st rounder if we sign Correa. A second FA will cost us our 2nd round pick. So we need to do one lump sum. Losing out on two first rounders in a row by signings is death to mediocrity for us in 6-7 years when we should be in the prime, waiting for these guys to be coming up. So Al can't just buy a SS an be done. He needs to put all his chips in the middle this off season if he's gonna do it.

At least we know who our GM will be in 20 years when Yzerman retires.......

Without their rookie stud.....

Sounds good. I hope you made out like a bandit. I will miss Motownsports very much. It was amazing to go to one site to catch the latest news on all the Michigan sports w/o having to go to each individual place...... Sad and glad you sold it. Great site. I appreciate it very much, you keeping the forums up and running here!

TLDR: Sorry if this has been mentioned somewhere. But does anyone else think we are just going to suck next year? Looking at our position players w/o Greene and Torkelson, we are running out 4th OF'rs at every position. The only starting position player we legit have on a championship calibur team is Schoop. And that's pushing it. You could make the argument for Candy, but a 15 HR 3rd baseman isn't really going to get you far........ (He's no where near the caliber of Mochado, Arenado, Austin Riley etc...) Our pitching is in great shape. But unless we get 7 new fielders, we aren't really going anywhere..... Torkelson, Greene and for argument sake Correa. Lets say we get a flash in the pan and one of our current players takes that next step. We have 4 out of 9 batting spots that are legit..... We are still 2-3 years away from being remotely close to being competitive....... Just my opinion.

I feel like I'm at the rally point two days after parachuting in on D-Day trying to find the rest of my unit. Just so many lost..... so, so many lost......

I guess I'm living under a rock. What happened though?
