Slater is (or was) a better hitter, but Sheridan was a better defender. Interestingly, they both had 5 career WAR. The mention of Sheridan's name makes me remember Kubek saying:" Pat Sheridan! Got a good arrrrrrrrrm. Can steal a base." I am not sure why that sticks in my mind.

He's that level of prospect, but that of course does not mean he's going to be as good as them. I have no scouting skills, but the Tigers have never had a prospect as universally praised as McGonigle in over 40 years and so far he's got the stats to back it up. He seems to get compared to Utley frequently.

There will never be a shortage of fertilizer under Trump.

I think it means he is spreading fertilizer.

Does anyone know which invitees are still in camp? McCosky said there were still 43 players still in MLB camp after today's moves. I assume that includes 32 40-man roster guys, 3 60 day IL guys and 8 NRI. It is hard to find a list of NRI still active though. I've got 9. Edit: OK, Looking around a little more, I think I've got it down to 8: B. Smith, Vanasco, Nido, M.Anderson, McGonigle, Peck, Guenther, Slater

I would guess the Tigers will make most of their final roster decisions this weekend before traveling west to Arizona to play the Rockies.

I dan't usually blame or give Presidents credit for the economy. I didn't even blame Trump for the Covid economy. I blamed him for mishandling the healthcare planning part of it, but the economy was going to crash no matter what. However, if the econony continues to be medocre or worse this term, it's all on him. He inherited an improving economy and he could have let it continue to progress. Instead, he has been interfering with it in every way possible. When you are an authoritarian, there isn't anyone else you can blame.

I won't say he is already their best hitter until he is able to hit in real MLB games, but he is probably their best hitting prospect since the 80s.

I had almost forgotten Kahnle before seeing that transaction. What a strange season. He was pretty much un-hittable the first half with his one-pitch arsenal and then his second half was a disaster.

Yes, when it comes to self preservation and wealth acquisition. It does not matter to him what effect anything has on anybody else else.

He's not lying though.

I am agreeing with the sentiment that Perez will not come north. I like that roster. No superstars, but somebody solid or potentially solid at every position. And having the flexbility of Baez and McKinsty on the bench is perfect.

I don't think Trump has dementia. His main problem is extreme narcissism. His second problem is lack of intellect. He is probably getting a little senile as he ages and his baseline was pretty low from the start.

I just want to know who is the Chet Lemon they are going to get for Greene after this season?

They traded him for Al Cowens who didn't do much for them. They replaced Thompson with Hebner and then Cabell. Thompson had some good years with the Angels and Pirates - getting on base but not so much power for a first baseman. So, I think they missed him, but not "all that much: as you said. Are Torkelson and Greene the modern day Thompson and Kemp?

He's got a plan

I think three are plenty of awful things that can be said about Trump without dreaming up end of world dooms day scenarios.

He's a psychopath, so anything is possible, but I don't see him as someome who is going to destroy the entire world on purpose. Who is going to praise his tremendous legacy after he is gone if he kills everyone? He likes to get revenge and to humiliate people, but he also has an insatiable desire to be adored.

There were a lot of older people, me included, who remembered when games moved faster because hitters and pitchers were not taking forever to get ready. Enforcing the time rules was the best thing they have done in years.

I joke about how I used humanities courses to boost my GPA, but I also liked them more than I liked some of my math classes. I actually came one course short of minoring in philosophy. I could have gone either way, but I couldn't really see what an introvert like myself was going to do with a humanities degree.

Anderson and De Jesus have been very strong this Spring. I don't usually care about spring training performance of career minor leaguers, but the Harris administration has been good at finding pitching diamonds in the rough, so they might have somethting. We'll see.

We'll hold your feet to the fire anyway.

It wasn't directed towards you or anyone in particular.
