  1. He seems to have a problem controlling his anger rather than being a character. I guess Rogers would qualify.
  2. The Orioles got Chris Hoiles, so it was a steal for them.
  3. yes, I have been doing that in this forum for 23 years now. yikes! I will grant you that the Tigers have a very bland group of personalities and that they would be more entertaining with a few characters or rebels or something.
  4. Trump didn't write that. He never would have remembered the names of those people.
  5. Do we really want to make a trade with Tampa Bay?
  6. I'd rather have some players that can hit and field. I mean they already have plenty of irritating players. 😀
  7. I will get interested as it gets closer to the deadline, but right now it's depressing to think about. I am Tired of the Tigers being so bad that they have to sell at the deadline.
  8. 1982 was interesting, because they had a winning record that year. They were tied for first before they collapsed in June.
  9. That's more stupid than violent. It amazes me that so many people will think that's funny.
  10. Maybe I am underestimating what they can get, but I don't think they are getting a McGonigle level prospect for a two-month rental though. They may get a package, but I don't think the best player in the package will be guy who has received an 80 scouting grade for hitting.
  11. The problem is he has to show that he is healthy and able to pitch at his usual elite level in order to get any kind of worthwhile offer. I think there is a good chance they won't get anyone better than the 31-35 pick they would get for losing him.
  12. I have zero expectation but there is always hope. I would never plan around a pitcher with a long-term injury.
  13. Of course it is, but he has provided decent value the last three years.
  14. He is useless right now. I don't see how he's going to help in the bullpen with all the walks. Maybe, mop up duty to save the rest of the bullpen.
  15. Not a "fixture", but he's been quite good every year when healthy.
  16. You mean other than Wenceel Perez?
  17. Sounds tempting!
  18. There is a lot more of that in baseball that there was 20 years and I can't really say if Hinch does it more than others. I think a bit more than average, but I'm not sure. I agree that the practice probably costs some runs defensively.
  19. I don't know. Given that he has a new batting order every day and moves players around to different positions, you could also say that he takes the short view.
  20. I tend to agree. I use it mostly to help describe what has happened in the past. Some of the elements of the various WARs are indeed predictive of the future, but when you try to mix all the parts together, there are a lot of things that can change in the future. For the future, it only works as baseline.
  21. At what point does short-term data become useful? If a .300 hitter, goes in a slump for 3 days, do you start treating like a .250 hitter? Is it one week? A month? What if you decide that it's time to make a change and then he goes back to being a .300 hitter again. How long do you wait before you are sure he is now a .300 hitter again? It seems a lot like trying to time the market!
  22. Fryman for Gabe Alvarez, Joe Randa and Matt Drews. That trade was an inappropriate joke.
  23. I get the feeling that Harris might have 1 but not 2. I can tell you that the second one is definitely not a strength of mine!
