    Yeah, apples to oranges. Throw out last season, first 40 games or not. We're a totally different team. Kinda like comparing our 2005 team to our 2006 team.

    People who are predicting their record based on last season.

    I've read that championship teams are built by being strong up the middle. Look at the upgrades we made at catcher and SS. And if Greene is a ROY candidate, we're going to be very, very good. Then we have the young pitchers with a years experience under their belts. So I don't understand people judging us by our record last year, especially the first 6 weeks when Hinch was learning what his players were capable of. The Tigers are a team on the rise and it shouldn't surprise any "experts" when we make the playoffs.

    90-72. Win the division.

    And the Braves extended him. 8 years for 168M. Just how much was Freddie Freeman asking for?
  6. Sports_Freak
    I would bet your last dollar that they'll finish over .500. 😁😁

    Give up major prospect(s) for 2 years of him? A very hard pass. Maybe a couple AA players? Ugh...I hate trading possible quality players. I say pass...
  8. Sports_Freak
    I agree. It just..no...such a bad rule. I mean, I get the reasoning, trying to squeeze 162 games without playing until mid-November but people who don't like the DH have to hate this.

    Maybe going back to starting a runner on 2nd base of extra inning games. I don't like it...
  10. Sports_Freak
    Yeah and he would eat innings. But I just wouldn't give up too much for him.

    I've never watched Castillo pitch but looking at his stats, they aren't really impressive. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/castilu02.shtml

    18 point lead? Poof....
  13. Sports_Freak
    It is. But Torkelson has to hit this spring. There's no way he'll come north with the same stats as last spring...1 for 27 with 16 strikeouts.
  14. Sports_Freak
    I would love to see Torkelson in Detroit this season. I'm just not sure he'll be ready by opening day. Mid-season callup?
  15. Sports_Freak
    You can never have too much pitching. The Free Press named about 5 or 6 possible free agents pitchers we could still sign.

    I thought I was really mad at MLB. I was wrong. I'm so excited and I just can't hide it...🤣🤣

    I agree. I would much rather see a professional hitter in the box than some pitcher that has a slim chance of even hitting the ball. Also, with the huge wages involved, I don’t want to see my pitcher trying to swing the bat or run the bases. It's a bit like watching paint dry.
  18. Sports_Freak
    My list would start with Juan Gonzalez. He's far and away on top, nobody close. In a distant 2nd place would be Max Scherzer.

    I do have to say, IDC about the details of the agreement. I'm just so happy there will be baseball soon. Let's Go!!
  20. Sports_Freak
    I agree but more divisions means more artifical races that keeps fans interested. I hated the 1 game playoff, I hope it's gone.

    Let teams put 7 fielders standing in a line for all I care. It's stupid to try to make rules about the shift and its also lazy player development. Wanna get teams to stop shifting? Very easy solution, teach hitters to use the whole field. Hit it where they ain't.
  22. Sports_Freak
    So if a SS dives for a ball near 2nd base, he better not go past some imaginary line or its considered a hit? Let them shift and start teaching hitters to use the whole field. That's one way to eliminate the defensive shifts.
  23. Sports_Freak
    And maybe ban all the armor they wear. They get a bit too comfortable in the box. And if they're too injured to play, next man up.
  24. Sports_Freak
    It's much more of a delay from the days of 2 and a half hour games. But yes, keep hitters in the box, no more constantly adjusting their batting gloves and other equipment.

    I have Hulu. How do I find the Red Wing game? Edit; I found it. A total PITA. More money for Chris? F the fans.
