kdog Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Mize headed to the DL with a hamstring strain. That’s the reason that Montero was scratched in Toledo. Matt manning is a distant memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1776 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Two years ago our ‘Big Three’ were going to be Mize, Manning, and Skubal. Manning is indeed a distant memory. Mize hasn’t lived up to the hype that preceded him for one reason or another. Skubal is a stud. I guess that’s considered a successful yield with today’s starters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdog Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 The Mize injury underscores another issue with this season. How much will we know about the 'core' by the end of the season. Guys are either hurt or have been exiled to Toledo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy an ace, another a 4/5 type starter. That is pretty good yield, as you suggest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing some parallels to the pitchers so far. Edited July 2 by Tenacious D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mize hasn’t lived up to the hype that preceded him for one reason or another. Skubal is a stud. I guess that’s considered a successful yield with today’s starters. I believe we touched on this one the other day: even setting aside the two years lost to injuries, Casey Mize is a pitcher from another era, a guy who relies on hitters to chase splitters falling out of the zone, and they don't, so he gives in and then he gets crushed. Not all the time, but more than a former 1-1 pick should. He simply can't blow away guys with 99 or better up in the zone, and those are the pitchers teams want, and he may never become that because, especially with his injury history, he doesn't have the building blocks to make that transformation. That's why he will probably always be middle of the rotation for a bad team, and back of the rotation or spot starter for a good team. Heck, a good team may not even want anything to do with him.

Keying in a bit on your item #3, the return for Jack Flaherty is now going to be a lot less than we were hoping a couple weeks ago it would be, so we might be in qualifying offer territory now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger2022 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I think they signed Flaherty just to try to trade him at the deadline. I think that is a terrible model to follow. It's a loser's plan. They aren't going to get anything of worth for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see. And they are going to be trying to flip guys for the next 10 years? Edited July 2 by tiger2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger2022 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Next year they can trade Skubal for prospects, then the following year, Riley Greene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you have said that there is no way Skubal is going to resign with us cause of how bad we suck so in that case why wouldn't you trade him for prospects? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger2022 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) I think there is a solution you are probably missing. If you like the direction the team is going in, then more power to you. And I'd rather watch him pitch his final 2 years here instead of getting some crappy light hitting middle infield prospects that the Tigers always seem to trade for.
