So, who can we trust with a six run lead? Jake?

I did not realize before this that Kerry Carpenter literally wears his religion on his sleeve. 😉

He was one of the speakers at Home Plate Detroit, the faith outreach program held once a year at Comerica. It was last Saturday before the Mariners game.

And 4.5 back in the wild card. And more arms coming back very soon. Bipolar team

[SoCalTiger]

So they stunk for major excitement this summer ? Nasty.

So, how would that work, exactly? Harris calls a team to convince them to trade their starting center fielder to us, leaving them without a starting center fielder?

Don't be silly. There are teams with outfielders being blocked at the ML level. Are you saying trades don't ever happen? Seriously? Defending Harris has gone to a whole new level. His trading ability is extremely underwhelming. Just stop and admit that he's unable to swing trades to improve the Tiger roster. Fact!!

Yeah, he thanks God everytime they interview him after a game. He's pretty serious about it.

Who are these teams with good outfielders being blocked?

Trades involving ML starting players actually happen in specific windows, and the end of April/beginning of May is not one of them.

April/May trades are very common. I was just reading this article;

I'm not a GM with access to scouting reports or other information. But it doesnt have to be all that difficult, it's actually part of a job, making trades to improve a team. What was the last trade Harris made? Charlie Morton? Hes not good at trading players, for some reason.

IF only Freak was the Tigers GM, our troubles would be over.

The Tigers would'of clinched the top seed by now if people would listen to me, but nooooooo....., people think I'm just some moran banging nonsense into a keyboard.

[Tiger337]

The Tigers did make a trade this year.  They acquired Zack Short for cash considerations or a PTBNL.  And all you ungrateful bastards did was complain that he wasn't good enough.  

[oblong]

whenever I see conversations like this I think back to the caller into the old WDFN days suggesting the Pistons trade Terry Mills and Lindsey Hunter for Chris Webber.

That to me is the gold standard of trade ideas.

 

[Edman85]

Ah, trading for the sake of trading...
