    I remember when the Tigers had too many starting pitchers last spring and it took until June for bullpen days to be regular.

    But if you cash in your draft picks for major league production, does that mean you don't draft well? I will use Maybin and Miller as an example.
  3. Edman85
    No... The only exception being the same player being claimed in a waiver period: a team that already claimed him moves to the back of the line. The risk is roster spot. You have to keep the guy around for a couple days (full week in the offseason), so you can't just bypass the roster crunch.

    Regarding waiver priority, I wanted to point out that it is straight current year winning percentage. League only takes precedent in a winning percentage tie. That is a common myth. The Tigers do not have priority over the Rockies for American League players. Very common mistake people make.

    This is the crux of why I think "homegrown" is a pointless designation.
  6. Edman85
    Dead last.

    12 drafts into the MLB Draft slot system, most teams are willing to pay the tax on the 5% overage. The Rockies have never once gone above their bonus pool.

    Probably coming soon. But even then, you can still make room... Hicklen, Baddoo, Kreidler, Manning...

    As for 40 man crunch when Meadows gets back, if Brebbia isn't a casualty, Cobb is still on the 15-Day IL and can be slid to the 60 without affecting his eligibility to return.
  10. Edman85
    If Olson is ready, you can send Montero down and buy a couple days with Smith as an extra reliever. I suspect they may pull the plug on Brebbia though unless somebody is hurt.

    Funny that over the offseason people said the same about Baez too. All the more reason to kick the tires on Maeda for a bit and see if there is something there.
  12. Edman85
    A player taken in the Rule 5 isn't really "let go." Given the roster crunch at the end off the offseason, somebody of value would have been DFA'd if Hicks was taking up a spot.

    Just attended his 30th stadium (but I don't know if this includes Tampa or Sacramento)

    I'd rather a Giants fan not get interviewed for five minutes, but maybe Benetti or Dirks had to use the facilities.

    Mattison's rehab assignment is starting with Lakeland today.

    It generally takes about three years of data for a left right platoon split to have meaning.
  17. Edman85
    Sample sizes on splits are finicky. It's worth riding it out until the splits are more predictive.

    As I sit with a keeper roster with Abrams, Wilson, and Neto and can't find anybody to pay up for one of them, I am wondering if shortstop is still the scarce position we think it is...

    All-time Tigers Madduxes, with the caveat that I don't know what years pitch counts became available. (Edit: forgot to filter out non-shutouts before)
  20. Edman85
    You will tomorrow.
  21. Edman85
    Not with 11K
  22. Edman85
    All time Madduxes (<100 pitch complete game shutouts) with at least 11 K's:

    He does NFL and March Madness games on radio, and I'm pretty sure on his way up he did radio, but he probably hasn't done much radio in the pitch clock era. His meandering is entertaining, but causes him to lose track on the radio.
  24. Edman85
    Benetti really is struggling on radio...

    Al Avila's first trade acquisition.
