Don't these parents think about the future?

Gibson-Long-Smith-Cabrera-Chang-Bond, James Gibson-Long-Smith-Cabrera-Chang-Bond.

[Tigermojo]

Tork's prayers to the BABIP gods finally pay off.

[Dave Christian]

Gibson-Long family having fun at the park today.

[Tenacious D]

Gipson, for the record 

[Tenacious D]

Fun to watch.  Gets the ball and throws.  A lot of low strikes and some deception.

[mtutiger]

Man, I remember when we all hated this trade...

Oops Gipson-Lung

Tork is 2-2 two RBI's.

Bottom of 3 Tigers lead 2-0.Whoops 3-0.

Two on, one out.

And people gripe about Tork’s defense? Yikes Carpenter 

[SoCalTiger]

Chalk that run up to Carpenter. The DH playing RF.

[mtutiger]

Thus far I've resisted the whole "maybe Al wasn't that bad"... thing.

But I do think the collective freak out when Michael Fulmer only returned unranked Sawyer Gipson-Long makes one think... 

[Dave Christian]

Time to move Lipcious off of third base.

I don’t recall any outrage.  Fulmer was middling at best.

[AZTigersfan]

As soon as he went to vest is pretty much counted on both inherited runners scoring. To bad Sawyer 

Or not, timely double play there!

Gipson-Long pitched a great game. Hopefully they can get the win for him.

Did we hate that trade?  They traded a non-dominant soon to be 30-year old reliever for a minor leaguer with three last names.  What is there to hate?  

[Tigermojo]

[Dave Christian]

Gipson-Long gets his first MLB win!

Nice piece of work!

The reaction to the trade suggested that it was an example of how terrible Avila was that he didn't get more for Fulmer's services.

Avila sat on a valuable asset - a young, cost controlled starter, ROY, All Star - until injuries set in and that asset became a middling, old, blah reliever. If GL joins Wentz and Olsen in the 4th to 8th starter roles, great! Avila perhaps got a useful piece yet again.

Fulmer just another example of Avila's failure to maximize his assets.

Remember he also traded another part of the past time big 3 rotation (Fulmer, 'Norris' & Boyd) for ROlson as well 😉.

[Toddwert]

it wasnt the last few trades people hated him for it was getting one ok player for Verlander and nothing for JD Martinez

If nothing else he needs to learn to eat the ball when there is no play. Risking putting a man a second with an attempted hero throw that has no chance to being with is not good baseball.
