Wrong part of the yard Javy!
-
Brieske may be the only Tiger playing with passion at this point... love the effort
-
Sounds like they should have discussed ignoring Coolbaugh at their "players only" meeting lol
-
The comeback kids unite! lol
-
CJ Nitkowski does color for the Rangers. He's as bad in the booth as he was on the mound lol
-
Its too bad Beau Brieske can't hit lol
-
Not sure who it was, but the idea that the Mud Hens leave Riley in Woostah and let him join the team in Boston had better be right. He's close enough
-
He only needs 7 more weeks now lol
-
5 everyday players so far
-
Erie is the MILB free game... thinking about availing myself of that one instead lol
-
Feels like he's been around so long that it's easy to forget that he's only 22.... similar to Wenceel in that regard. Hopefully he keeps it up.

He should talk to Kevin M....

Yes. And could you have imagined the shit show from the fanbase had they not? That's the other thing this debate misses: I've seen comments (not necessarily here, but on SM) to the effect of that we would have been better off not signing any of them over signing Baez, but when you go back in time to that moment after the offseason, the fan base would not have tolerated no signing. The anger would be as high as it is now.

I remember a lot of comments before the lockout that basically were assumptions that Correa was gonna get a Lindor deal this offseason, which he did not. In general, I think it's a pretty good deal for both parties involved, but the idea that people had the foresight that kinda deal could or would happen is a bit much based on my recollection of the offseason. When news of it broke, it was a shock to just about everyone, including some on this board. Forgive me for not laying that particular criticism at Al, that he didn't have the foresight to know that Minnesota would come in with an incentives laden deal to allow Correa another bite at the apple. Avila is a terrible GM and deserves to be fired, but I didn't have much of a problem with how he handled this offseason. I'm not gonna do revisionist history and complain after the fact.

Seager will look ugly in year 8 of that contract. But that's not gonna matter to the Rangers
-
Just ran first to third on a stolen base/throwing error. Still eight weeks out tho
-
Yep, the Angels would be an appealing job.
-
I suspect the rest of the league will take a more holistic view of his record. Accounting for whole record plus how things ended in Houston.
-
The latter three are about as unappealing a job as Detroit is.
-
Also, criticisms of AJ's in game decisions are all a part of the job he holds. We should be able to compartmentalize that from criticisms of the front office and it's failures.
-
I'm not going to reiterate this over again as this subject has been beaten to death, other than to say that a lot of Tigers fans may have a slightly inflated view of how the league views AJ Hinch. That's not to say that he isn't well respected or anything, but more to say that the NY Mets aren't firing Buck Showalter or the Dodgers aren't firing Dave Roberts or the Yankees aren't firing Boone all for the opportunity to hire AJ Hinch.

As mentioned earlier, you get into a situation where you have, for the past 9 mo or so, people who are instituting new programs / philosophies that didn't exist in this org before. One imagine that it is not easy to do... it's not unlike an NFL team switching D coordinators and schemes. If you sweep all of those people out, you start from scratch; you basically lose a year or so of a new team instituting their philosophy to get back to where you started. Maybe that doesn't seem like much in the grand scheme of things, but the pedigree and track records of Garko, Ribas, Stroop, etc. etc. seem solid and they come from winning pedigrees. I'm not an expert, but they seem worth keeping around on their record and merit alone, let alone the fact that the place the Tigers find themselves does not fall on them.
