If we look at the list that chasfh posted at the end of the year, the ranks will probably be almost randomly shuffled. You would probably do just as well predicting 3.5 WAR for each team. yeah - all we can really say is that at least they do have a lot of arms available with reasonable potential so they've helped their odds to that degree, but we've all seen even large numbers of potential fillers all fail in the same year.

RandyMarsh Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 FYI Djokovic had his visa revoked again and is about to be deported and miss the Australian Open. Can't say I ever expected to post that in a Tigers offseason thread but as we all know these threads can take mysterious turns out of nowhere.

We can also dream about Scott Coolbaugh unlocking Miguel Cabrera's youth and helping Miggy deliver a 30/100/.300 season for one last hurrah. I dream of trading Funhouser while he’s come off of a decent season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Henning says the Tigers are going to sign 2 international SS. Can't remember the names but they are 16 and 17 years old from Venezuela. The 16 year old is ranked 10th by BA among international FAs and the 17 year old 21st.

Livonia and Northville and the "I-275 corridor" have a significant Japanese presence. Its not nearly as big a deal as the Polish in Hamtramck used to be but it is there. Probably, there are more Indian born than Japanese actually but the Japanese/auto industry interaction is real. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just comes down to money; if the Tigers offer 10/341, he is the starting SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
