????....yes...Denny was not a good person...that doesn't mean you can't acknowledge that bad things were done to him

Not a quality person...but the Tigers really screwed him over in 1969. I recall reading in Freehan's "Behind the Mask" how the team was pumping his shoulder full of cortisone to mask his shoulder injury and running him out there to pitch. Destroyed his arm...

In the minors...he would get dialed in and hit them in bunches. What a boost to the offense if he starts doing that here

IIRC...Stanley only finished at something like 35% at the rim in college. But that's from memory...Whitmore was more like 60%. I like him as an off the ball option on the wing. There's been talk about bringing Grant back to Detroit for big $$$...I don't recall him being particularly effective with Cade..or maybe Cade was more effective when Grant didn't play

I like Whitmore...

That would be amazing....

No mention of Colt Keith...huzzah!! Sucks to be Kreidler...dude can't stay healthy. Glad to hear Jobe is throwing BP. Not knowledgeable enough re kinesiology to know what arm issue a lumbar spine injury could be indicative of

Toledo Walleye coach Dan Watson is your new Grand Rapids Griffins coach...pretty much everyone thought this would happen.

I vaguely recall really wanting to see the Tigers get guys like Jo Adell and Keston Hiura in deadline deals a few years ago. Florial seemed like an impossible ask. It really is a crapshoot...isn't it?

I've head it said that in football...the biggest "competition gap" a player experiences is going from HS to Division 1...It seems like baseball has a larger gap even going from college to professional

To wit...Fred VanVleet will decline his $22.8 million player option and become a summer FA

I recall thinking Randy was a wunderkind....right up until his 17th trade with the Astros

I was told the check is in the mail

These Uber Eats ads are Uber annoying

I'm not keen on giving up Cossa..we sunk a 1st rd pick and a couple of years into developing the big galoot into a legit prospect at a position with little depth in our system. Agree that DeBrincat is older and closer to being a UFA and he also saw a 34% decline in goals last year. I could see giving them #17 and some of the jillion 2nds we have...really mixed on giving them 9...maybe 17, the Boston pick and Carter Gylander...he's a goalie

Killian was drafted in the top ten...so draft position isn't much to go on. I may have put too much distance between LeBron/Reeves/Davis/Russell and Jokic/Murray et al...but I still think there's more talent on the Laker roster

Bring back memories of my cigar smoking dad rolling the window down a crack as he loaded up the station wagon with as many of the nine kids that would fit for that big trip up to summer vacation in Grand Rapids

Per Tigers Minor league report via twitter Perez pitched today in the FCL 2IP 3H 3ER 3BB K HR

I don't know ****... I like what I see of Whitmore though as he appears to be comfortable off the ball which would allow Ivey and Cade to have it in their hands more often. Will he become an black hole on offense? It's a risk I am willing to take

He's been around fr so long...but he's still only 25

Franklin Perez is still plugging away in the FCL...

Ty Cobb Was Not a Racist Stadium

I'm leery about using premium draft capital on pitchers because we seem to injure them...then again...our last 1st round OF pick is hurt too. Shame we can't trade the pick

Read your reports or I'm gonna point at Pete

IIRC...In the early early days of "Pay TV" like Channel 100 (1970's) and ONTV (1980's) they were only broadcasting content in the evening. We had channel 100 for awhile in Toledo when I was a teenager. Nothing emptied the living room of me and my sibs quicker than having a movie with a sex scene that involved nudity on when the parents were watching. What kind of a sick F would watch that with their parents?
