  1. Speaking of Deuce, a couple weeks ago he signed on to be the hitting coach for the Diamondbacks AAA team in Oregon. He's surely going to be out recruiting some big tough lumberjacks to be some muscle for his organization. Also gives him a chance to spread his operations to the Northwest.
  2. Highly unlikely he wins but if for some miracle Cade were to pull it off he would be the first Piston to win an All Star weekend contest whether it be a 3pt shootout, dunk contest or skills. I wonder if were the only team that has managed this?
  3. That's pretty wild, feels like he had atleast 20 games alone where he destroyed Drummond for like 40 and 15.
  4. Kriedler would be my choice. I just don't see any reason to keep him at this point as he doesn't really offer anything that I feel can be a help to the team. GUys like Ibanez atleast offer the skill to hit lefties if need be, Malloy showed some OBP and power potential, Mckinstry has defensive versatility etc. Kriedler really doesn't offer anything that you couldn't immediately find off waivers or in the minors if need be.
  5. It'll come out around the 26 or 27 draft that the team that is picking number 1 had an unprotected 1st lined up for Beasley but the trade didn't go through cause Malik told Trajan he loves Detroit.
  6. Oh for sure, I mentioned last night that I see that by training camp of the 26 season as the deadline to get Cade some help or else he'll be demanding a trade. So 2 drafts and 2 offseasons.
  7. The stats may or may not support it but it feels like Schroeder always kills us so I'd be fine getting him if for nothing else then not having to see him the rest of the way.
  8. Yeah I keep going back and forth with Bregman. As I said the other day barring him ending up like Javy he would be a real help to this team short term even if he only repeats his performance from last year but OTOH I do recognize the underlining concerns with him and how the deal could look real bad in a couple years.
  9. BTW if we don't find a way to provide some help or get drastic improvements from current players by the end of next season will Cade join the list of superstars demanding a trade? I cant say I'd blame him if he did.
  10. Small sample but since those back to back 10 turnover games Cade has only averaged 3 a game the past 7 including only 1 tonight.
  11. Surprised they didn't have to part with Kuminga.
  12. Michigan signed seventeen 4 star+ recruits in the 247 composite rankings. Definitely one of if not the best class they have signed in recent memory even if they did "only" finish 6th in the rankings.
  13. Michigan gets 4/5 star(depends on the site) OT Ty Haywood to flip from Alabama to them today on signing day. They end up finishing top 5 or 6 depending on the source. Would not have predicted that 3 or 4 months ago.
  14. I didn't think you did but literally right before you made your post Doug Karsh says "And now your Pistons have a made a move, we'll give you the details after the break."
  15. The guys "that can handle a bat" are a dying breed now so probably wouldn't make much sense but I remember having the idea(I'm sure others had it before me) of some type of hitting competition. Like putting circles throughout the field with different scores, maybe have the circle size or location determine how much points its worth with the objective being landing the ball in the air in the circle. You can maybe make it like the original HR derby rules with 10 outs and everything that doesn't land in a circle being an out.
  16. Listening to 97.1 I take it?
  17. YEah that's one of my favorite random stats. Another is Musial having the exact same number of hits at home and on the road. Also the longest hit streak among all Yankee and Red Sox players is of course Joe Dimaggio at 56, the 2nd longest is also Dimaggio but not Joe but his brother Dom who had a 34 game hit streak. Oddly enough Dom's hit streak ended when he went 0-5 against the Yankees with his last at bat being a fly ball to Joe.
  18. It's wild going back and looking at his player page, a few things jump out but seeing how durable he was before breaking down really stands out. His first 8 years in the league he missed 13 games total and had a 5 year stretch where he only missed 1 total game. Another thing was that I didn't remember him being good at all for Texas but his 2015 season was really good offensively atleast, not like at his peak but still finished with a 126 OPS+ in over 600ABs and actually garnered MVP votes. Don't remember that all.
  19. I'd love to have Garrett but given the likely cost it will take to get him I just don't know if it would be a wise decision long term. If it's "only" 2 firsts I could live with that but I don't want to sacrifice a handful or more picks including top ones for any 1 non QB, no matter how great that player is.
  20. I'm a bit concerned about Bregman going forward given his subpar season and age but unless he pulls a complete Javy he should still be an upgrade for the Tigers and given that I'm hoping we sign him. A couple years down the road we may have egg on our face but I'll cross that bridge when the time comes.
  21. That's how I am with Manning, with Mize I still have a sliver of hope.
  22. If the picks had protections I'd do it just for the upside but without them I think it's too big of a risk for a player with his injury history and build. If he and/or Cade were to have an injury riddled season the first rounder will almost certainly be in the top 10 and likely top 5 depending on the ping pong balls.
  23. Tigers at number 3 on Kiley McDaniels/ESPN latest system rankings.
  24. Just looking at a few of his years and like I thought he had the rebounds and assists but didn't hit the scoring part. In January of 00 he did hit the scoring part going 28.8 but only had 5 boards and 5 assists.
  25. I wonder what Hill's best stretch was, felt like there was a time where he was getting triple doubles once or twice a week. Don't think he ever put up that type of scoring though, feels like he was more in the mid to low 20s when he was at his best.
