    did you see the attendance? Pathetic. There is money to be made by facing up to sunk costs and putting a better product on the field.

    Bingo ^^^

    Build a winner, and they will come.  Keep trotting Harvy out there, and become the egg man with egg on ya face.

    And Kreidler doesn't have much more offense. No, Harris was saddled with Javys contract when he got here. And we don't know the details of whether he wanted to cut him in the off-season. Maybe Chris didn't want to eat his contract. Maybe he just couldn't swing a deal for a replacement. We just...don't know.

    Good points, but if hypothetically Harris wanted to cut Harvy, but Chris said no, then I'd have tons more respect for Harris if he woulda said "whelp, you clearly didnt hire me to actually build your baseball, you just want an ass kisser, soooo I'm out!"...we'll never know I guess, but that juat brings me back to my conclusion that either Harris wanted to keep Harvy, or he's just Chris I's yes man 🤷‍♂️

    Problem is Harris didn't find a SS to fill the hole even knowing that the single most probable outcome of Javy's terrible 2023 would be a terrible 2024. Management by wishful thinking? And don't bother mentioning Kreidler, whose most probable outcome based on his history would be right were he is, the DL.

    All thats is true, but can it really get much worst at SS than Harvy?  Hell, I'd be fine with platooning both SS and 3rd base at this point just to get him off the team...his mere presence as a baseball player on this roster is like a baseball energy vampire; he's the Colin Robinson of this team, add's minimal valie at best, and drags the team's performance down on the regular.

    .164 with 2 more guys LOB.        His defense isn't so good that it makes up for this.    Just swallow the money, Tigers - he needs to go. 

    This is why I'm out on Scott Harris...a GM with any standards and integrity would tell ownership that he's gonna fire Harvy out of cannon...and if ownership doesnt like it, than said GM with standards and integrity says "whelp, it's either him or me...Scott's just going along to get along and cashing a paycheck.  It's neat that the Tiger are now the Chris Illitch version of the William Clay Ford Lions.
