  1. The real talent went to Toronto though.
  2. What about the other accusers? And I never said he committed a crime. I was disputing that this could happen to any of us. He goes around abusing strange women for fun... What could possibly go wrong? I don't feel bad for him.
  3. He goes around choking women for fun and one of them called him on it. Yeah, I guess that could happen to any of us. He can pitch again if anyone wants him, but he hasn't pitched in the Majors for 4 years and had a 4.51 ERA in Japan last year. Good luck with that.
  4. I will never forget Thanksgiving Day, 2025
  5. They are in hot pursuit of 31 year old relievers who want to be converted to starters and pitchers coming of injuries
  6. You had to see them play to really appreciate them. I'm glad somebody here did.
  7. Looks really excited about being there. I wouldn't have recognized Henneman if you hadn't mentioned it. Now, I see the chin.
  8. Michael King could end up being next year's Crochet if he's healthy. I don't know what to say about Helsley. If multiple teams are nterested in him stating, I guess you just to have some faith that there is somethng there. not very excited about him though.
  9. I doubt these costs would go down if salaries went down. Now that they know fans (at least the wealthy ones) are willing to pay those prices, they'll never lower them.
  10. I love his attitude. I always thought the desire to play with the best team that doesn't really need you was pretty shallow. It's more of a challenge and I would think more satisfyng to be an important part of team that's still building to be a great team. So, let's add him to the list of starting pitchers who we can dream about being the #2 guy behind Skubal.
  11. Everyone says that every time the agreement expires and there hasn't been a shortened season in 30 years. 2021 was screwed up a bit at the beginning of the season, but they still played a full schedule. Nobody has given any convincing reasons why this time is different.
  12. Tettleton and Phillips are good choices. They would have been appreciated more today, but they had skills which weren't recognized so much at the time. They were better players than the more popular Cecil Fielder. Fielder's first year with the Tigers was magical, but after that, he was in the words of Bill James "a big fat guy who hit home runs and struck out a lot."
  13. JD Martinez - 147 OPS+ is 4th best in Tigers history behind Cobb (171), Greenberg (161), Heilmann (149)
  14. Maybe Helsley can be the new Juan Bernguer.
  15. Clark will shoot his constituents in the **** Manfred will shoot the game in the **** one way or the other.
  16. I don't expect a long work stoppage either.
  17. Maybe, but in this instance I am viewing Cy Young ranks as quality of season ranks. I am just using the Cy Young prefix because the prior posters did.
  18. He once saw Gehringer at a game and he recognized him from his avatar and kept looking at him.
  19. Not finishing in top 5 for Cy Young would probably not concern me much. If he is in 6-10 range as Brian suggested, it would still be a very good season. It would depend on the reason for the drop off though. If there is a velocity drop or anything like that, it would be concerning. If it's just a higher ERA, then it shouldn't affect any decisons about trying to sign him long-term.
  20. That is fine. It could work. I just hope that is not going to be their big off-season signing.
  21. I don't know what was said, but it seems traditional for management not to suggest that a rookie has a good chance to make the opening day roster.
  22. Gallen was bad last year, but has been good most of his career. He has had injuries, but looking him up just now, he has been better than I thought.
  23. They've lost a lot of their reliever depth from the last couple of years (at least on the 40-man roster) and will need to replenish, but I'm still not worried about losing Foley. He now joins the large group of freely available replacement relievers which Harris is very adept at cycling in and out of the system.
  24. Beck rarely makes mistakes, but it doesn't seem possible for a DFA to be followed by a tender.
