Just to be clear, I'm not saying that trading either Carpenter or Greene would be as a sell-low dumping. Both are cost quality and controllable players. Are there trade options out there where someone would be in excess of their value and/or with different skill sets that could improve the Tigers?
Thinking about the contact play and how defensive positioning scouting is more analytical these days, I wonder if the contact play is riskier now than it used to be?
Nah, don't like this phrase. If somehow they finish 7th and one of the 6 playoff eligible teams becomes ineligible and Detroit would take their place in the playoffs, then I can understand that phrase being used.
I can’t believe it’s mid September.
Last week I had a monthly meeting with a higher up. He asked if I watched any football over the weekend. I reminded him it’s still baseball season. I think he understand me more now.
That would be grand.
But if you look at Kahnle’s history, he doesn’t throw more than 60 IP in a season. That’s pretty low. He hit that threshold early this season. Was he taxed?
The one aspect that I really loved about Gibson was playing the game ahead of the game. Here’s the situation at hand, here are the options and the pros and cons, make your decision now and not in hindsight.
This guy needs banned on the count of he’s quoting me. Not that it’s nefarious or anything like that. But I’m a dweeb. No one should be listening to my typing. Mods, please, do something to help this cat out.
Yeah, I heard something on one of the pods this week about how the arm barn numerals in this second half are surprisingly good. If they are good, I am surprised.
I wonder if the bigger variable for Flaherty is the upcoming collective bargaining session and how shopping his wares over that offseason seems less desirable than hitting free agency this offseason.
