Let him get his 3,000 hits and then pay him in his new role.

I appreciate the hustle, but he is of no use to the team if he keeps running into injuries.

I saw a quote saying that they were picking and choosing which games would get the juiced ball. Yankees and Red Sox got the juiced ball. Tigers and Royals got the dead ball. I won't even post the tweet because the source is suspect, but anything seems plausible in the Manfred era.

Archie is getting owned by all you liberal meatheads.

He will probably be the Tigers best defender. The only one who has the potential to be better is probably Hill and we don't know how much he will play. I am not sure where you get 8th in all of baseball. The numbers didn't show it last year, but he was one of the best in 2019. There is no doubt he is a strong defender, but I am wondering where you got 8th best.

Strong defense up the middle should help a lot. There will be pitching injuries, so I hope they add some depth there. I don't think they need to be top offensive club, but I think they need to be average (which is possible).

The Tigers are probably a .500 team if everything goes as projected. However, they have a bunch of young players who could develop fast. If enough of them break out, they could contend.

I think if a school is located in a high crime area, these kinds of measures might make sense, not so much to prevent mass shootings, but to prevent violent crime in general. It's unfortunate to have to create that kind of environment at a school, but there are limited cases where I can see where it would make sense. However, most schools are not located in high crime areas and don't typically have many problems with shootings. Requiring all schools to have metal detectors and armed guards in an effort to stop a random mass shooting is going to create a feeling that the school is like a war zone. That's not a good environment.

Also, don't talk about the history of racism because it might make my son feel bad.

Desperate thinking by people who fear losing their toys.

That's just NRA propaganda. Mass shooters usually choose their location because they are enraged at people within the location. States with lax gun laws tend to have more gun homicides per capita than states with strict gun laws.

Let's just call them killing machines. All guns are designed to do one thing - kill.

I don't want the Tigers to be a team with constant turnover, but I agree the opt outs for Baez and Rodriguez could work out well.

They usually shoot up schools because they are bullied at the school or used to be bullied at the school. They are also familiar with the school. They aren't going to shoot up a bank because kids bullied them at school. I don't think most of them are necessarily cowards either. They do these things because they are nuts, not because they are cowards. We call them cowards because it feels emasculating to call them cowards. It's the worst insult a male can use on a male.

They will never do anything about mental health issues other than funding cuts.

I suspect I'll enjoy watching him in the field more than at the plate.

That greedy bastard needs to stop messing with the game. Yeah, I know it's the owners, but more stupid crap has happened under Manfred than any other commissioner in my lifetime.

I think Correa is a better overall hitter by a lot. He gets on a lot more and Baez's edge in power is very slight. Both are strong fielders. I don't know which one is better defensively. Correa has has trouble staying on the field. I don't know if any of it is chronic in nature, but it's something to watch. Without considering contracts, I like Correa a lot better. If signing Baez gives them flexibility to add other players now and in the future, then it makes sense to sign him over Correa.

If he remains a plus defender, he will be a great fit for the Tigers with their young staff. I expect we won't be thrilled by his offense, but if he's a great defender, his power will be good enough.

I apologize to Jose.

I think I'll like him well enough. I don't think I'll LOVE him. 😃

He is going to be the head of the union when he retires.

It indicates that they are willing to spend.
