Sports_Freak Posted Friday at 04:40 PM Posted Friday at 04:40 PM Anybody want a relief pitcher? Quote
Arlington Posted Friday at 05:47 PM Posted Friday at 05:47 PM Appreciate the post on McKinstry. Good stuff. He also won an award recently for being a good guy off the field. Our defense is surprising as of late. The outfield has been a plus with the two infielders out there. Maybe better overall than with the injured starters. Baez is making his case to be somewhere on the field everyday but Sweeney not so much. Not sure what the numbers are on Tork but he appears to be greatly improved. Dingler may have taken over the starting role. Torres has been solid and Jung looks good defensively too. This team is full of surprises. Quote

Can anybody make sense out of this Newsweek repeat of a bleacher report article claiming the Tigers should acquire Luis Robert Jr. from the White Sox for much of the Erie pitching staff? Quote

Newsweek has really really fallen off a cliff, is what I make of it. Miller's on the IL. No idea the extent of the injury, but it's worth noting. Quote

If Margot gets activated, it'll be Malloy When Vierling comes back it's Jung that goes back on the Tony Packo's diet Tigers are converting Kenta Maeda to a first baseman. Regarding Malloy. I just don't think he's ever going to be an everyday big league player. He's just one of those Tweeners. Too good for Triple A, Not good enough to start at MLB. Quote
Jason_R Posted Saturday at 03:16 PM Posted Saturday at 03:16 PM I don’t post on this side a lot but I’m glad to see Javy and Tork turn it around. And I’m glad to see the haters eat crow. 1 Quote

Why bring back Margot at all if Vierling is about to be healthy? Just release him or trade him for some magic beans. 1 Quote
