Hey now. Everyone loves Evan Carter saying he could be an MVP. Doesn't he have like a .120 career OPS vs lefties? FML. Hopefully Keith can hit both sides.

I hope you're right about this. He looks like a stud.

I highly doubt River Hamilton will sign unfortunately. If they do, that'd be the coup of the draft. I also worry about Rogers as well as Ryan Hall. Hall and Hamilton will both need to be way over slot to sign...... I'd give us a 10% chance to sign Hamilton though.... 50% for Hall and 20% for Rogers.

If I was Yzerman, I'd offer up my 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th rounders every year for a 2nd. Then you're drafting a 1st rounder and two seconds. I thought someone once posted a chart like 95% of the players that hit are 1st and 2nd rounders...... Fill the rest in with UDFA's. I keep seeing reports that people we draft are "below NHL average".... Like, why bother.... The hit rate has got to be astronomically low.

Well said. I think the Lions should be agressive now too if they can. But not having a 3rd next year does hurt. Perhaps they'll trade back in the 1st or 2nd for more draft capital. If Anzolone walks, then we might need some reinforcements anyway.

Dudes legit too. Gonna be a star.

Looks like O-line will be getting some love early next year 🙂

Sucks. Wish we coulda gotten one more year out of him..... Good luck to him though. He'll be missed.

Lol. I remember taking my little step brother to a game and there was this cop standing over a guy who was sitting on a corner bleeding cuz he was stabbed. Sheeeeeeesh. You're right, thats Detroit for you!

Torres has beyond exceeded my expectations.

I agree 100%. I'm just wondering if a more experienced catcher would be able to help guide him a little more. Might be time to call in a "Crash" Davis type situation.

That stash is thiiiiiiiiiiic

MOO TO THE MOOOOOOO! GO KEITH!

ROGERS GOT DA WHEEEEEEELZ!!!!!

I wonder how much guidance Jobe has from his catchers. I just feel like he's not being led enough by them so he's guessing what will work...... Something's off with him it seems. He's better than the results show.

Baez has a .349 BABIP. I expect him to end around .280 for the year like he has been for the last few years. I don't think his resurgence is real. Man, I hope I'm wrong. But I don't think I am. If a SS gets injured somewhere, I'd try and flip him for a RP right away.

Exactly. Anytime you get rid of a career .400 OBP player, especially if they're on our team, I'm gonna be pissed. Dude gets on base. We don't need to "ask Pete" on this (hopefully you get this joke if you're a true baseball fan). I'll take a DH with a .400 OBP anyday.

Like I said, I wouldn't do the trade either. But that's what it'd cost to get him. Skubal an Skenes though would be a pretty good 1-2 punch, gotta admit it.

Skubal wasn't 5 years control making 800K

Send me your paypal. I wanna send you a gift lol. Thanks buddy.

It's three for Skenes. They did that for Juan Soto and Skenes is going to cost more since they get five years of control (two of which will be less than 3 million per season). We did three for Miguel Cabrera (Andrew Miller and Maybin at the time were both top 5 prospects IIRC). Just playing a lil devils advocate.

Ken Rosenthal is floating this out there. Thought I'd ask. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6376646/2025/05/23/pirates-paul-skenes-trade-mlb-notes/ Would you trade Clark, McGonigle, Bryce Rainer , Jaden Hamm and Owen Hall for Skenes? (It'd probably take that). Just curious on your thoughts. Skubal and Skenes, not a bad 1-2 punch. (I wouldn't do this deal but am curious what ya'll think).

Dat boi jus upped his price a lil today I think.....
