  1. Good, we got Tim Anderson and Edgar Martinez!
  2. A guy named Payton probabably thinks he's pretty special... His profile looks pretty good for second rounder. He seems to have the potential to be an infielder with good speed and a little power. Keep stocking up on hitters and hope a couple of them break through.
  3. I am not complaining about the pick. If he can hit and be a passable defender somewhere, that would be a good for a #12 pick. I just don't assume anything with baseball draft picks. Too many of them fail.
  4. Right, that doesn't sound encouraging to me! Your interpretation might be different.
  5. I don't doubt somebody said that, but the consensus seemed to be that he could be a good corner outfielder. At any rate, I am not encouraged what I am hearing about Jung's defense. If he lives up to his potential as a hitter, they'll find a spot for him though.
  6. Not really. They said he was a decent defender, who would start off in center, but might end up in a corner. There was never any talk about him being stiff and slow and maybe not having a position.
  7. He's not necessarily a DH. It's just that when I hear red flags about a prospect's defense he usually winds up being a bad defender. We'll see.
  8. They just passed a law in Indiana saying you can carry a gun without a permit.
  9. If he is anything like Tettleton, I'll be his biggest fan.
  10. So far, he looks like Mike Laga.
  11. There has never been a team of elite fielders who can't hit. So, we'll never know what such a team would do. Ideally, a team is at least average in every facet and obove average in a couple of areas.
  12. I think defense is underrated. If you have great defense, it can turn an average staff into a good one. With all the strikeouts in today's game, it matters less than it used to. but it's still important.
  13. I thought Kreidler was the second baseman.
  14. Cmo loves him! Jack Morris likes his bat, but in his the 80s when he was playing everybody was expected to be a complete player who could field his position.
  15. DH will be open in 2025 after Meadows is done.
  16. So, Jung can't field or run and has a weird stance, but he has a lot of potential as a hitter. I am glad they selected a hitter.
  17. I remember when there were two drafts (a smaller one in the winter) and you barely even know about them until they showed up in the transaction box in the paper the next morning.
  18. Yes, but they are online so you can take one anytime.
  19. He could indentify an elephant in a picture! My father who was 94 at the time also passed the same test. My mother who had pretty advanced dementia at the time took the same test and was able to answer half the questions.
  20. Lots of deadline trades for 18 year-old shortstops with no plate dicipline and hard throwing relievers with command problems.
  21. Nothing at the Rule V party involves a recipe.
  22. Jobe will be a starter for the Tigers in 2026. He'll have experimental rotatator cuff surgery in May. He'll come back in 2028 as an ace reliever for the Rays. Tigers General Manager James McCann will sign him to a three-year deal in 3035 and you know what happens next.
