I trust that the Tigers know better than us which level wll benefit his development the most. I think this is the kind of thing fans don't really know a lot about.  

Actually, I know a lot about these things.  Keith is stuck in a lease and is trying to find someone to sublet his apartment.  Once successful, he’s Toledo-bound.

Miggy still raking.  I thought Short was safe on the replay.  Probably should not have been sent, but that happens when you’re in a low scoring game.

Speaking of the name Justice there's a student at my District with the name David Justice. I asked him if his Dad was a fan of the baseball player or something and the kid had no idea who he was or what I was talking about. lol

Anyone named Katniss at your District?

I’d also be OK with trading prospects that other teams value for players that fit our team.  We can take on salary.  We don’t have to label our activity as either buying or selling—I think we can consider both.

Someone needs to tell Justice Bigbie that he isn't a prospect. 

I don’t want to live in a world where a guy named Justice doesn’t prevail. MLB or bust.

This is clearly a team that gets exposed when playing good teams, but can more than handle its own against comparable ones.

4 game series and 2 of the games are BP days? Where's our SP depth? Unbelievable, the most important series of the season up to this point. 10 straight division games? There's not a lot of room for error.

Quit thinking playoffs or contending.  This is about surviving the balance of the season (again).

Plus, he isn't tying up a roster spot.  He's on the 60 day IL, so if they happened to find some reason to add someone to the 40 man roster right now, Meadows wouldn't be blocking that theoretical player.

I think the correct and appropriate action is to treat this like a physical injury.  And demonstrate some empathy and understanding.  No one truly knows what he is going through, and I suspect more players will come forward as mental health issues become increasingly prevalent.

As stated, his presence on the roster does not adversely impact the organization.  He should not be discarded.

This. And just to put the cap on this discussion - I would assume that everyone read Chafin's response to Petzold during the Atlanta series but if not, he said that he would have been glad to come back to Det if their offer had been as good.

 

Hadn’t seen that.  That was a miss by Harris, unless Chafin left out that he wanted a no-trade in his deal, which would diminish his ultimate value to the Tigers.

Tomorrow’s thread up already?  Somebody’s pretty excited, methinks.

Torkelson with the concentration lapse. Scooped a few milliseconds too soon.

Time to move him back to 3B?

The kids are alright—dingers tonight from Pacheco, Jung, Meadows and the already mentioned, Keith.

Are we allowed to have nice things now?

Donde Esta la casa de Casimir?

Everyone bailed?

Aaand just like that Maton further solidifies his, ahem, "standing"...who Cole Keith gotta bang around here to get Maton's spot?

I’m not ready to bury Maton, but he might benefit from a reset in Toledo. Bring up Lipcius and see how he does.

Please stop Todd Jones.  Brendan White K’d his first batter on 3 pitches and RollerCoaster is babbling with fans in the Tigers food court, missing it.

Miggy has probably earned more playing time lately.

Not a quality person...but the Tigers really screwed him over in 1969.  I recall reading in Freehan's "Behind the Mask" how the team was pumping his shoulder full of cortisone to mask his shoulder injury and running him out there to pitch.  Destroyed his arm...

Now I understand why he robbed that pension fund.

It was a no doubter! Couldn’t believe it!

Even pulled the ball!

Suck it, Strider!

I believe this is the first update on Jobe since his injury. 

Didn’t realize that he had a surgery.  Hope he can stay healthy and salvage something from this season.

4 more guys join the Tommy John gang.  Not a very exclusive club at this point.
