  1. Right now they have 8th worst record. Have a hunch Toronto will pass them up and they'll be 7th or perhaps worse. Really sucks that once again I start thinking mostly about the draft pick. I have rebuild fatigue.
  2. He got into an all-star zone post all-star game last season. He seems to be in another zone right now. Ripping the ball. Extreme streak hitter. I don't know.....regardless, it's good to see him making consistent, hard contact again
  3. I have a T206 Merkle. He has a glove in the pic, not a bat. Can't tell if he is bonerfide
  4. Orioles called up Mayo. I don't recall a team ever being this stacked with young talent.
  5. Going to be tough to watch the final 50
  6. Love to see a season of health for Greene and Carpenter
  7. The thread police, they live inside of my head I predict det goes 20-33 the rest of the way to finish 72-90
  8. DD understands this better than most
  9. I see Baltimore optioned Kjerstad again. Limited sample, but his ops+ this year is 129, and he is 25. Would have liked to see him in Detroit.....oh well
  10. Regarding Leyland's run, while it is true they never won 100 or a WS, I believe the Tigers had the best overall W-L record from 2006-2014. I've been a fan since Campy threw his bat at Lagrow and endured several rebuilds. Imho that stretch from 2006-2014 was an elite stretch. Every season I felt they had a chance to win it all. Damn Big Papi!
  11. Not sure if anyone else saw a sobering stat on mlbtv - over the past decade approx 600 prospects have been traded. About 11% of them have been contributors at the mlb level, and 3% have been impact players. Looks like the rebuild will take at least 2-3 more years. Been a fan for 52 years, but fan fatigue has set in
  12. When ChiSox won that first field of dreams game, I recall thinking they were poised for several years of contention. Jimenez, Anderson and others seemed to fall off of a cliff.
  13. 53 games left to play. I'll predict 20-33, and that might be optimistic. Wonder what Daniel Norris is up to these days?
  14. I'm still pissed about losing Benji
