Yes but game over if he was playing.

Anybody miss Baez yet ?

Verling should play every day in centerfield period. His defense is excellent and he hits well in consideration of that. He’s not a fourth outfielder in my opinion. At least not on this team.

He's not taking my calls or mail...gonna send him a Fedex or maybe try a SNL candy gram ?

If the price is right....Holiday and Mayo..left side of the infield potentially solved.....

That’s what I have been saying. They are stacked.

Yes sellers again and again and again and again ………

Great clips as always. Thanks again.

So for puuureeee speculation Harris extends Flattery and signs Bregman and Adames in the off season. Is that enough ?

Sadly this seems like a very accurate summary to me. I bet Harris has thought this all along and thats why his last draft was high schoolers and I bet he pairs them up with more this draft. Me thinks his window is 2027-2028 and I bet he has told Junior as much during his interview. But I'm not a betting man.

Why wasn't he playing first base in Toledo ? How much do coaches need to see in order to determine someone does not have the skill set to play a position. It's become an epidemic in Detroit. Still ongoing.

Did Badoo call him off the play ?

I do not understand this lineup. Our best outfielder is playing third base, our best third basemen is playing first base and our two worst outfielders are both in the game together when a better outfielder is the DH. Did I get that right ? Maybe the worst outfield arms in the game all playing together with Perez on the bench. Why not.

The “ calculated risk “ move is Skubal hard as it would be. He is a Boras client and we will not extend him at their price. He has two additional years of control and is currently at peak value. So I call Baltimore and entice their new owner with an opportunity to win it all this year while they still have Corbin Burnes and offer Skubes and Jung for Jackson Holiday and Colby Mayo both of which are blocked at the major league level with Gunner and Westbrrg. This solves the left side of our infield with player the same age and control as Max Clark, McGonigle , Briceno, Jobe, Colt Keith, Riley Greene and Olsen. Giving us a solid core of players in key up the middle positions on the cheap leaving $$$ to add pitching or what pushes us over the top.

They are and rebuild is a nasty word in my vocabulary. How about we just keep trying to incrementally get better. Just add more short term veteran additions in free agentcy and let the rookies work their way in. Stop the anointing. Trade from surplus once achieved. Build your team plan with pencil not pen and be flexible.

Nice couple.

How much is Flaherty worth on the open market ? What would he command in free agency? Should we extend him and for how much ?

I was told there wouldn't be any math or facts. Kidding aside the main point, as you say, we have zero options.

Javy is huge disappointment for sure but he does have value over and beyond the numbers. Defense, base running tags and he actually hits better with runners in scoring position. No reason to eat that contract.

Kreidler can't hit and Leonard can't play shortstop and maybe can't hit either. They are not the answer.

That's the question. "Is it age or is it coaching that changed El Mago into Harvey with the bat ?"

I'm sorry I do not but I do recall it for sure.

That’s my understanding as well

They were lucky with the players available. We were not. I don’t advocate for it.

Tork is proof that tanking is wrong.
