Chicago isn't the United States!

Yet violent crime has decreased dramatically since 1990.

to be white. Blacks are way more likely to stopped while driving, way more likely to be arrested for Marijuana use, etc.

So, announce it today!

I see Twins fans crying on twitter because they plan to trade everybody. What a great time to be a Tigers fan.

Even Jason Beck is talking about Correa.

I am typically very cautious in my own life, but baseball is entertainment and someone else is taking the risk, so why not root for them to take a risk which might make my entertainment experience better?

Don't worry. With Tony Clark in charge, the negotiations will be over after the first month.

If you want to advance, you gotta take a chance!

Correa is a better fielder, but Seager hits just as well. Seager might get a lower aggregate salary, but the contract length should be similar. The other options will be shorter in length.

On the other hand, the most similar batter at age 26 was Troy Tulowitzki.

I see his injury history as similar to Seager. It makes me a little nervous, but it's not necessarily an indicator of future injuries.

I don't think Seager's salary will be far behind Correa.

Is that the day the server went down?

I wasn't totally against it either because Fielder was a great hitter, but it wasn't a good fit. The following year they would have to figure out where to play Cabrera, Fielder and Martinez. They wound up with too many 1b-dh types and not enough defense.

If we ever do that adopted Tiger thing again, I'm going with Hill.

I was one of the people who didn't like the Fielder signing. it seemed like a really impulsive signing precipitated by the Victor Martinez injury and I didn't think he'd age well. Thankfully, they were able to move him for Kinsler which I think was one of DD's best moves.

Players are worth what the market says they are worth. Whether he would be a good signing for the Tigers depends on how big the Tigers budget is. I don't know what their budget is. The more money they spend this winter, the higher their budget probably is, so I would generally regard spending a lot on players to be a good thing.

I know Wentz is their most advanced pitching prospect at the moment, but I'm a little surprised at how highly he is regarded around here. I am not a prospect hound by any stretch and I am not saying people are wrong, but is his probability of success in the majors really that high? I've always regarded him as one of those guys Bill LaJoie was talking about when he said "you need 10 top pitching prospects to produce two good major leaguers".

I know little about minor league pitchers! I just know most of them fail. A few will probably be pretty good though.

Bold prediction: He'll have a better career than Joey Wentz.

Buddha will never be happy.

Defense tends to peak earlier than offense.

He seems to have an entertaining personality actually. I just suspect his skill set won't age well.
