I first came here in 2002 when the AOL board began to deteriorate. I liked that there was a group here that was really into sabermetrics and prospects which wasn't very common at the time. I invited some AOL people over here and one of them said he didn't like it because posters knew TOO much about the Tigers and he felt he couldn't contribute anything! looking back, we really didn't know anything! The only problem was there was some weird contest going on (some kind of promotional thing I think) that had nothing to do with the Tigers or baseball and half the posts were about that. I can't remember what it was, but MWG cleaned that up pretty fast.
