That would be my first choice.

There are lots of names that could be selected. My thinking was that Kaline was involved with the Tigers on and off the field longer than any of them

Al Kaline Field

He struck out a lot in 2014, but he still had a 169 OPS+ and won the MVP. If Greene does that, he can strike out 200 times!

Trout might not be the best example. He struggled in 130 at bats when he was 19. He had a 168 OPS+ in his second year. Maybe Kelenic.

Wow, Chas was able to trigger the bot into an actual response.

Imagine bringing your family to a game and sitting next to trash like that.

Plus, it was mostly Blacks, so the media won't care.

Another mass shooting at a birthday party in Dadeville, AL. 6? dead, many others hospitalized.

It is pretty hard to be as bad as 2003 and 2019. I can easily see them losing 100 games, but I think they'll be better than that. I expect some of their hitters to improve as the year progresses and there should also be help from current minor leaguers later in the season.

I am optimistic. They will win 72 games and have more clarity on their future by the end of the season.

Absolutely, He is probably worth 20 extra wins compared to an average manager.

I'm thinking they will be bad, but very interesting in terms of preparing for the future.

Pitchers have always been disproportionately White. I am not sure why. I used to think it was racial profiling (like black QBs), but you would think that would have been alleviated with the modern scientific approach in baseball.

Maton at second where he belongs (if not shortstop).

And only one African American - Baddoo. Are they the whitest team in the league?

Good, I don't want them going 35-5. I love that the Tigers hold that record.

Who is going to be first to call him Del Bozo when he blows a lead?

I couldn't watch them when they played the Red Sox. Now I can't watch them because of Apple TV, whatever that is. I think TV viewing reached it's peak a few years ago when I could almost always watch them on MLB Extra Innings. Back to the radio while I surf my fantasy team on other channels.

Why are the Tigers not on TV?

I think it's to early to make comparisons. Some of it could be adjusting to new rules. However, I do expect offense to be up this year. Another thing that is happening is more base stealing. That might actually pick up even more because the success rate is also up.

I sometimes get caught up in feeding trolls, but some people are easy to ignore. No creativity, no new content, no reason to respond.

There isn't anyone on the team worth following. If someone performs, he'll lead by example.

Durability is important. If you have a player that is frequently injured. he is usually replaced by somebody a lot worse (like Zach Short) and that hurts the team. That is the reason why replacement level is used. If you don't think it's important though, you can use Wins Above Average instead. In Hall of Fame consideration, WAA might be better than WAR. Baserunning is a small part of WAR and not really controverisial. I don't know why it would be considered overrated.
