Chris McCosky@cmccosky 22m AJ Hinch said Troy Melton is dealing with some arm soreness, which is why he hasn't gotten a start yet. They are giving him some time for the soreness to subside.

Great article from Cody on McGonigle. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7064709/2026/02/24/detroit-tigers-kevin-mcgonigle-prospect-rise/?source=emp_shared_article

....to go with yours over the '72 ALCS?

This is close to where I've been. I have nothing against Avila, just thought it was past time for some fresh ideas and people.

I think it all verifies that no one was lying when they said more than once that ChrisI would spend when the time was right.

50 Tork bombs

I root very hard for John Peck to make it. I've enjoyed teasing one of northern Michigan's biggest auctioneers about his "son" playing ball. https://johnpeckauctions.com/

Our pitching sucks....we'll be lucky to win 50 games. 🤪

Announcers fussing that Tigers should be nervous about turning SS over to a 21 year old McGonigle...apparently they're too young to recall a 19-20yr old Alan Trammell. 18 year old Robin Yount. Etc - I would think with the advanced training that kids would be MORE ready today.

I firmly believe McGonigle will make this team out of spring training. Using your projection either in place of Lee or one of Meadows/Perez/Vierling suffers an injury and they decide to use Javy in the OF again.

No season details yet that I've seen, McCoskey said today's game would stream free on MLB.tv

I had that jacket but my son heisted it 10 years ago or so.

According to the article I read it was his wife's sister. Certainly makes it more understandable since he was attracted to the type.

"inappropriate affair" with his sister in law. She probably couldn't resist the beard.

I75S Left on US98 left on Bella Vista. 😉 I'll spring for lunch at Mr. Fish.

No Sudsy?

Will there be in game parlays in this thread?

I think like most writers he gets satisfaction knowing people are reading and enjoying what he's written.

No Duke Sims tells me your data is flawed.

I absolutely believe he deserves 1st crack at CF. I'm sure Hinch/Harris/etc have gamed out where they turn if he comes up lame again. Javy seemed to thrive out there, that's why I'm advocating for him to be option #2.

I've always enjoyed reading Lynn to see what flowery phrase he can turn today. That and the fact that he's always been the most accessible baseball writer (at least for me). We've carried on a sporadic conversation for nearly a decade now.

But it's not an injury plagued year. It's an injury plagued career so far. Sometimes players overcome that and remain healthy for long stretches but it seems to me that many times that player never stays healthy and is always tantalizing but rarely delivering.

It wouldn't shock me to see him at SS to judge how he handles it with the thought of Javy in CF. I don't know how anyone can have faith in Meadows to hit or stay healthy.
