How much would they have to pay you to watch Baez?
-
Gibson did OK in his second run with the Tigers. In his last season, he hit .260/.358/.449. His performance would make him one the best hitters on the current squad.
-
They are doing about what I expected. I thought there was a chance they could do better if they had a break out from some young hitters, but it hasn't happened. I don't know if I am encouraged, but I an not disappointed or surprised.

That Fielder photo is one of my all-time favorite Tiger photos. I remember seeing it in the local paper and thinking how cool it was to have the slugger on the roof where he hit some of his most majestic homers. His first season with the Tigers was really special. Having a relative unknown coming to the Tigers and hitting 50 homers in an era when that just didn't happen was magical.

I played baseball, but my love for baseball started before I really played it much. I was mostly a box score and radio fan as a kid, so it was the numbers that drew me to the game. Other games have a lot of numbers now too, but I don't how many fans get into basketball/hockey because they love the stats. Probably not as many as baseball, at least not initially.
-
Offensively maybe. Defense would be more difficult. The end result is there are probably available shortstops better than Baez, but probably not so much better that the Tigers would be tempted to eat his contract.
-
Young fans don't like baseball because it's boring compared to sports like basketball and football. There is no way to make it as exciting as other sports without ****ing it up so much the fans they already have won't like it anymore. I think this is why they have always tried appeal to older fans by stressing history and tradition. You can't please everyone.
-
That's because they keep moving him around. Should have kept him leadoff!
-
I was thinking of picking Weathers up of the waiver wire in my roto league just to pitch against the Tigers. Then I got excited about last night's game and didn't want to have to root against them tonight.
-
You could express try expressing that idea without disrespecting soldiers.
-
I didn't like it either. To criticize politicians for abusing the military is one thing. Disrespecting soldiers is another thing entirely.
-
I don't get your insistence on a landslide. There hasn't been a landslide in this country in a long time and there likely won't be in the near future. It will be a close election again.
-
We should honor soldiers for their courage and sacrifice as much as we can. They deserve our praise and admiration. It's the people who tell them what to do who can be a problem.
-
He's got the will to win.
-
2 homers down. 38 to go for Tork.
-
Not the first time you pointed out my wrongness. What threw me was the auto racing posts? What is that?
-
You are absolutely correct. Anybody that thinks he is going to jail is delusional. The worst thing that might happen is he'll get fined and then end up not paying it. -
The wealthy don't want that and they always get what they want. We live in a world designed by the weathy for the benefit of the wealthy.

I am pretty sure the new poster Shelton is neither Chris nor MTS Shelton, but it made me think: Shelton career: 3.9 WAR 110 OPS+ Torkelson career: -1.5 92 OPS+
-
I have seen him touted as someone with the potential for immense power (e.g. 70/70 raw power at fangraphs). I have no scouting skills, but he strikes me as me more of a line drive hitter with pretty good power rather than elite power. Just watching his at bats, I would guess that his hit skill is better than his power.
-
It's completely different from minor league pitching which is why most young hitters fail initially and many never figure it out. I'm not being critical of his performance. It's just that the ballpark excuse sounds lame.
-
Yes, I don't want hear excuses. Keith isn't hitting the ball hard like he supposedly did in the minors. I thought one of his best assets was supposed to be his power.
-
I don't think Henning said it. Keith did.
-
Tork! First of 40!

I don't know who Benjamin Crump is.
