    Being in a pitcher's park is a poor excuse for being a bad GM. That is something a good GM should be able to use to his advantage. Dombrowski appeared to do that by buildind around starting pitching. Harris has said that being in an unusual park is an advantage. Let's see if he can take advantage.

    Some people do their best thinking on the crapper.

    Randy Smith was a disaster. I agree he was worse than Avila. Just look back at the drafts and development. The list of top draft picks who were utter failures is amazing.

    He's still lazy and incompetent as are most of his strongest allies.

    They didn't do that when he was President. How are they going to do it when the other party is still mostly in power? If there was an easy way to steal the election why didn't Trump do it in 2020? If there was, we know he would have done it.

    yeah, I know. It depends on who is making the tiers. 84Lives!!! is not making the tiers!

    Trump is dominating all the polls: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/2024_republican_presidential_nomination-7548.html#polls

    I think if there is a bunch of candidates like 2016, Trump will win the nomination. If they consolidate around one opponent, they may be able to beat him.

    The lists are fun, but I think it would be sufficient to just have tiers. I want to know which Tigers prospects have a chance to be stars, which have a chance to be starters, which have a chance to make the majors. Those might not be the exact tiers, but something like that. I don't need to see a rank attached to their name. I just want to know which ones to follow most closely.

    I was thinking of subscribing a couple of years ago until I saw Emily was the lead Tigers writer. I have nothing against her personally, but I haven't seen any evidence that she has any expertise in scouting.

    Get rid of both of them and Shep too.

    I am more interested in the typical line-up versus RH than the opening day line-up, but either way it's going to change frequently and none of the permutations look good. Greene CF Meadows RF Carpenter DH Baez SS Haase C Torkelson 1B Maton 3B Schoop 2B Baddoo LF

    He's from Chicago. Granderson would be a great analyst. I like Petry too, but he seems like he'd appeal more to the radio audience.

    Maton has hit lefties better than righties...in a very small sample size. I do think he'll be platooned though. Harris was targeting a LH hitting infielder, probably for that reason.
  15. Tiger337
    Yes, all the time. And my filing cabinets are so full I struggle to stuff new folders in there.

    Great, after speeding up the game this year, they are going to slow it down in the future with more replays.

    I am outraged that the Tigers signed Wingenter.
  20. Tiger337
    He has a lot of followers because he has MLB at the end of his name. I don't follow him, but he has showed up on my timeline a lot and I believe he is a Tigers fan. There is probably a reason I have never followed him, but I don't remember what it is. Calico Joe is also a character in what was probably John Grisham's worst book.
  21. Tiger337
    Yes, he is a good depth player who gets shuttled between the majors and minors. Fortunately for him, he found a team that was able to give him a slightly bigger role.
  22. Tiger337
    There are worse players than Reyes, but I don't think I've ever seen so much angst over the release of a 4th outfielder on a bad team.
  23. Tiger337
    Vierling does not appear to be a srarting outfielder unless he learns to hit, but there are two things that make him intriguing as a role player: (1) He has elite speed. (2) He has hit left handers quite well in a small sample size.
  24. Tiger337
    I truly do not get the continued angst over Victor Reyes. He had plenty of opportunities to show what he can do. He's a backup outfielder with a .294 OBP and no plus skills. Vierling might not end up being better, but his floor seems to be Reyes. Let's see if he can do better.

    I don't care about bullpen pieces on a non-contending team. The bullpen will work itself out especially with Fetter.
