Well in his defense, the subject of his ire is someone I have spent time with and he really did need to have his nose flattened. Dude was just a jerk. Haven’t seen him in years but is can’t imagine much changed. 

He's a good dude, and I know he lurks here even if he doesn't post. Maybe this will drive him out of the shadows!

Tucker is not an elite talent, but he is very good and is significantly better than higginson especially when you put defense into the equation.  And if Tucker can finally stay healthy, he might still become elite.  

Agreed, plus Higgy is ~55 now.  Even if he has kept in shape, no way are we're getting a full season out of him.

We had Ryan Raburn to pick up the slack.   You know,  while the team still was in striking distance Ryan couldn't hit a beach ball, but once they were way out of the race - He's an All Star

I am worried about that a bit with Colt Keith.    Dude, you need to hit in April and May at some point if you want to be an every day player.   

Keith had an .881 OPS in May 2024 and an .838 OPS in May 2025.

Keith's defense is going to be a huge problem.  And as a DH, I don't think his offense is enough

I bet I'm not the only one who was drawn back to the Tigers and specifically onto the old board by the fast start to 2006. I signed up in June of that year I believe. 20 years now!

I joined in February of 2005. Got tired of all the trolls in newsgroups.

Yeah, some good times on the old forums. It was the father of a player who was on here and said..."dont make me come to Royal Oak to kick your ass." It was a part time outfielder....hazy memory...

How many rotations of the   Skubal-Flaherty-Valdez-Mize-Olson rotation will we get this year

 

What's the over/under that we get all five healthy for five consecutive games

 

I'll say   4.5

Look at the numbers.    He's not much better.      

Tucker's better, but is he that much better?  

Yes, he is.

It didn't take long for the "pitching surplus" to work itself out!
