  1. I am at 35. I joke about this stuff a lot, but I appreciate the effort you guys put in on this topic.
  2. Torkelson is pretty comparable to Vaughn in his second year. Hopefully, Torkelson (unlike Vaughn) does not stall in year three.
  3. Sorry to hear that. People have beaten advanced cancer. Fight hard. I would guess that doing stuff that you want to do helps in its own little way.
  4. I would guess that only a small percentage of baseball fans have even heard of the slot system, never mind know how it works.
  5. I agree. The back end of the contract would still likely be bad, but they probably can't get anything better in the near future.
  6. Does this mean we have to go through the "who holds the real home run record" argument?
  7. A more realistic scenario would be he matched his lifetime numbers of .260/.302/.464 with strong defense. Would we want to keep him? Would he opt out?
  8. Anything that is done deliberately physically hurt or humiliate somebody is just bullying and has no purpose other than to make the bullies feel good about themselves. Other types of hazing might be acceptable, but I don't think it's ever necessary for bonding.
  9. Today is the day that Spencer Torkelson became a ball player.
  10. Just when I started getting excited about Manning and Skubal...
  11. The only point of hazing at any level is to make bullies feel good about themselves. The stuff about bonding is BS.
  12. I am personally not interested in what Brandon Dixon is doing, but I agree it's not a problem.
  13. I'll bever forget Busty Beam.
  14. Loaning valuable artifacts to Donald Trump and expecting to get them back isn't very smart.
  15. Is it good to get Lionized in Detroit?
  16. 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.
  17. 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?
  18. You can't blame Cabrera on Avila. That was Mike Ilitch.
  19. Anderson is a free agent after the season. Baez has 4 years remaining on his contrct.
  20. That's pretty much the same goal as catching the leaders.
  21. 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
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
