  1. 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.
  2. I can't be sarcastic or joke on twitter because nobody gets it.
  3. It doesn't matter what they find, The MAGA cult will just say it's no big deal or that it's a hoax.
  4. I watched a lot of Braves games and they became my second favorite team for a while.
  5. I enjoyed those teams a lot. It didn't get really ugly until later in the decade.
  6. I wonder who he planned to sell those to?
  7. After 12 years with 18 different teams, Wynton Bernard has finally made it to the show,
  8. I know people who are not red hats, think Trump is a clown and will pobably not vote for Trump again, but they are Republicans who think all the investigations of Trump are either a waste of time or a witch hunt. They think he is not any worse than the Clintons. I still think these kinds of people can be reached.
  9. I don't think Sportz is involved with that account. Anyway, I have noticed that whoever runs it is not especially knowledgeable about the game. I think it might be a kid.
  10. Another example of scouts knowing more than fans reading minor league boxscores?
  11. You are right about this year. It doesn't matter. He could get in the way next year if they acquire a couple of hitters and wat to move Meadows to DH or just want to use the DH to rotate and rest players.
  12. I used to love Cabrera hit as much as any Tiger in my lifetime. Not anymore. He's been a replacement level DH for 6 years. He has reached his milestones and it's not much fun watching him anymore. I am pretty sure he'll be back again next year though. Assuming he is back, I hope he has a Pujols type role where he is part of a revolving DH position.
  13. Fans and media won't care, but Tigers employees would.
  14. Undrafted free agent and one of the best baseball stories of the 70s.
  15. Jake: "Inge is the greatest defensive player in baseball history"
  16. It was a bad photo shop job. The original photo has Epstein in it.
  17. But those guys weren't the new Lou Whitaker and Lance Parrish.
  18. The point was to get prospects for guys they weren't going to be able to sign. The execution was poor. I wished they had extended both of them, but I don't think Ilitch was going to allow it.
  19. Randy Smith. His drafts were terrible and his trades were pointless. There never seemed to be a plan in place for any length of time. The drafts under Avila were better and his transactions made sense in terms of correctly identifying weaknesses, but his execution was poor.
  20. The problem is they have a whole team of Tommy Brookenses and they can't even replicate his stache.
  21. So, Tork is Mike Laga and Greene is Glenn Wilson?
  22. Anyone who has observed Trump for the past 40 years knows that he was using the classified documents to make money in some way. That much is clear. The specifics are open to all kinds of speculation.
