Bigbie and Hurter will surprise

Payroll has dropped from 17th largest to 19th to - for now - 23rd. Even signing Chapman would NOT give them an average ML payroll.

the idea that young guys Greene-Tork-Carpenter would be aided by 2 rookies - Meadows and Keith - early,

and 2 more rookies - Malloy and Jung - later, and that team will win in 2024 is a fantasy 

Sign JD Martinez while we are at it

Meadows and Baez are key this year for the Tigers. Baez has to quit thinking he is going to hit 30 home runs here. Meadows hits above .220, we are good. The others should be OK

4 games over .500 at the End of April

I’m starting to get ever so cautiously optimistic about this team. But I’m worried that it’ll be like you are nine years old and you think you’re going to get a new bike for Christmas from Grandma but instead you get a framed portrait of her. The movement on pitching is interesting and it looks promising. I just hope there are guys who know how to hit the ball. This hitting the ball thing is pretty important too. Please hit the ball a lot. 

The early part of the schedule is not difficult. As long as Maeda and Flaherty don't Pelfrey out we should do better than what we may be thinking 

I really like our pitching. I believe this will be in the top 5 of all of MLB. I also believe Casey MIZE will be the best pitcher on this staff.

Keith and Malloy will be on the opening day roster.  It's way way way too early for Jung, he might not play for the Tigers at all in 2024.  I'm not sure that Dingler will ever play for the Tigers, or Wenceel.  Bigbie still doesn't understand that he isn't a prospect, so if he hits at Toledo he might get a look in August.

Bigbie will open for the Tigers. Keith and Malloy also. 

SKUBAL Mize Manning Olson and Hurter are your starters.

We need a 3B. Jung for Coby Mayo

Who else is St. Louis sending?  And is Walker that significant of an upgrade over Keith or Jung, that you would surrender your ace?

I do suspect that Skubal would be the starting pitcher to be traded, but I also think it would (and should) be an overwhelming haul in return. If he goes, I would like to think we’re getting our next catcher (here’s looking at you, Dodgers).

I think we’d be selling low on any of our other starters—agree that Manning would not command very much.

No way

Never, trade Tarik Skubal. Never

Jung for Coby Mayo

Bring Keith and Malloy up.

Dump Ibanez

Tork will hit 50 dingers next year. Book it

Forget OBP

Is he worse then Carpenter with the glove?

Malloy has the Harris OBP schtik going on.

I could see Keith and Malloy alternating at DH and 3B.

Dingler and Meadows II should join them here next year.

4 pretty good players joining Carpenter, Tork, and Riley

It depends on how much of the Cabrera money they spend in free agency.   I personally don’t think they make a giant splash and have plenty of extra money in 2024.

Who would we even have interest in, in the next free agent class? I don't see much.

More coming with trades than FA in my opinion.

Seems like all of our guys are wimps if you ask me. Who has Gibby fire on this club?

Bigbie is making a Keith move.

Oh Tani to the Reds? That's BIG

Keith. Malloy, Meadows 0/14 tonight.  😥

Keith and Malloy over Ibanez and Baddoo. Right now.

Not  a real tough schedule in July. .500 may be in our reach by the end of the month. I think we'll be buyers.

We get the #37 Competitive A pick and the #45 in the 2nd round in addition to the #3 overall so that should also add a bit of excitement... see who falls due to money that we may be able to take advantage...

I think the Tigers going forward will be a lot more active on the back end of the 40 man roster and on the edges of the 

Ya gotta wonder about Hinch too. Will he make the cut? Didn't Hinch bring a bunch of baseball people with him?

Will Harris clean house from top to bottom? 

Skubal to the Padres for Hassell and Wood.

It'll be a high tool college outfielder.
