Dude...

I am personally not interested in what Brandon Dixon is doing, but I agree it's not a problem.

I'll bever forget Busty Beam.

Loaning valuable artifacts to Donald Trump and expecting to get them back isn't very smart.

Is it good to get Lionized in Detroit?

The 2008 contract was one of the best ever in terms of creating excitement and memories for Tigers fans. The one that goes from 2016-2023 is the problem and he's been bad longer than just 2021-2023. This is year 7 of replacement level.

I believe most of what he does is about money and if nothing happens to him he will definitely commit more crimes. Why wouldn't he?

You can't blame Cabrera on Avila. That was Mike Ilitch.

Anderson is a free agent after the season. Baez has 4 years remaining on his contrct.

That's pretty much the same goal as catching the leaders.

Would Manchin take votes away from Democrats or would it be R leaning independents voting for Manchin so they don't have to vote for Trump

The funny thing is that Baez has the best K rate of his career this year (22.9%). What's missing is his power. He may be the worst looking hitter I have ever seen, but he has always been that way and he has had some damn good stretches in the past. They can only hope that he has another one of those stretches now. He did it at the end of last year.

I don't necessarily want them to trade him, although everyone is tradeable in the right deal. I was responding to the idea that they could make a Jacob Turner type deal. They wouldn't be able to do that at this time.

I think Jobe needs several months of good health before he'll have much trade value.

Cabrera is pretty easy. I am confident he won't be good enough to affect the outcome. The young players are a little more difficult and they widen the confidence interval, but they probably (we are dealing with odds here) won't get them into the playoffs.

I am not too worried about Torkelson's defense. He has poor range, but can catch throws from infielders. Statistically, it seems he was close to average last year. This year he is below average, but has been trending better as of late. I don't think there is enough there to definitively say he's a bad fielder who needs to DH. I am more concerned about his hitting, although indications are that he'll improve.

Yes, they do factor that in, but 3% still seems too low. Still, I don't think their odds are high enough where they should think about winning this year when making deadline deals.

Another Royal Tiger

Ranking in the Tigers top 30 will always get you lots of attention in Tigers social media.

Lynn Jones?

I was surprised that he only played one game for two reasons. First, he was talked about so much on this board. Second, I get him confused with his father.

They have the population to support a team, but they don't have the stadium. Lowell, MA has the same problem.

Not a great team.

Looking back since 2017 when the Tigers started being terrible, I can not tell you which teams won the World Series each year, but I know which franchises were the most successful without looking - Astos, Dodgers, Yankees , Red Sox, Braves, Rays, Indians, Cardinals. Going back and looking I see that I only missed the Brewers (in terms of most wins during that period).

I have just gotten to the point where I don't really care about the playoffs that much. I am more interested iin them having a good team that can consistently win around 90 games like they had during the Dombrowski years. It would have been nice if they had won the crapshoot one of those years but not winning the post-season tournament didn't make them a failure in my eyes.
