Yes that for sure and also being a good-glove shortstop who will make a fine second baseman.

5 position players in the top 70, that looks good. It is very un-Tigers like. Everybody loves McGonigle don't they?

I know that Rickey has passed away now, and may he rest in peace. And so with that in mind may I, just one more time, tell my Rickey Henderson story? A friend and his wife were on vacation in Bermuda one year in the early 1990's, they went to a restaurant one night, and my friend saw Rickey sitting with a lady a few tables away. He was wearing a short sleeve white shirt with a sort of black and gray pattern, but he was too far away for my friend to discern what the pattern was. So, having ordered his dinner, my friend got up ostensibly to use the men's room but really he just wanted to walk past Rickey's table to get a closer look at his shirt. And this is what he saw: he saw Rickey Henderson sitting at a table wearing a short sleeve white shirt with a black and gray pattern, and the black and gray pattern was a collage of newspaper articles about Rickey Henderson. RIP Rickey, everyone loves you.

Yes, the 1968 Tigers won with a home grown core, and so did the 1984 Tigers. And this feels like the first time since 1987 - holy cow, 38 years - that the organization has once again stumbled across the formula for sustained success. The Tigers will not win the World Series in 2025 but I am liking 2027 and I think Chris Ilitch will make us all shut the f up and keep Tarik Skubal here for the rest of his HOF career. 38 years, JHC. Bert that is more than half of our lives, that is unacceptable.

How many positions are Willi and Harold going to play?

Me: Do the Tigers have any infield prospects who hit righthanded? You: Hao Yu Lee tiger337: Fine thank you

I asked Hinch how Larish, Fick, Munson and Shelton were looking at third base and he had the same thing to say about each of them: "Moves well for a big man, has soft hands and a strong, accurate arm."

You tell 'em Tork. Why should you take hitting advice from a bunch of nerds in Coke-bottle glasses? There is a reason why they were always the last ones picked in the schoolyard. There is a reason why they never had a date in high school, why they do up the top button on their golf shirts. Really sick of these guys thinking they can take over a game designed for men.

Whit Merrifield is a ****. (as in Allen)

Just say no to Bregman, Christ, why would we want to get stuck with him for 6 years.

There is a piece of cookware called a chafing dish, you stuff it down the front of your underwear

He'll be beating the chicka away with a stick.

I hope he shaves for the wedding

I saw that '75 team on my one and only visit to Tiger Stadium. Veryzer was clearly just awful at the time but somehow Sutherland didn't seem as bad. But checking his career at b-r, yes indeed he was just as bad. Sutherland is a member of a club with no more joiners: guys who played for the Tigers and the Expos.

He did all the little things that don't show up on the scoresheet.

Grab another PBR and a fistful of pink popcorn, Rule 5 is starting soon.

I had an aunt like that too but she was born in 1911! She and her friends would go on organized bus trips to Cleveland in the late 1950's to see games, it is about a 3 hour drive.

I loved this guy and his stats in the early 60's were just ridiculous for low strikeouts by a home run hitter. What an arm, he played left because Kaline was already in right. That's the best pair of corner outfielders for the Tigers for the past 75 years, maybe ever. Ernie Harwell just loved to say that name.

Absolutely, teams will see that 20/20 potential and think that they can fix the hit tool.

Dammit! They're letting go of Christian Quintz?

And before anyone asks, yes I have a guest room, but at this point it has become a sort of shrine to Lee Panas. I have stitched some ribbon around each of the barf stains on the rug, and incorporated a little brass tag into each, indicating the year in which it occurred.

Never had it. Gravy on French fries, sure, but not the cheese curds. No, experienced Rule V party goers will know that what is on offer, along with the PBR, is pink popcorn.

Mojo he's right. Where are you crossing the border? If it is the Niagara River, the Buffalo/Fort Erie duty free is better than the Niagara Falls one, or Lewiston/Queenston. Grab a case of PBR for yourself, and a gallon of Canadian rye whiskey.

Now that we know the date of the Rule 5 Draft, we can schedule the Rule V party.

That's the hope for Mize and Manning, that teams have enough hubris to say about themselves "we can fix him" and swap their number 6 prospect, a righthanded hitting middle infielder with a glove and some power.
