Those things can help a team get the most out a roster which lacks offense, but I doubt it's a replacement. I disagree that it worked great the last two months of last year. They didn't win because of offense, They won because of pitching for which you can credit Hinch's remarkable bullpen management, another thing which I doubt can last for 162 games. But again, if your roster lacks offense, it's good to have ways to get the most out of the roster even if it's not a replacement for good hitting.

He did hit for power in the minors and FanGraphs rates his power as 70 grade. 70 grade seems to be aggressive but he apparently does have plus power in there some place. I'm still waiting to see it.

Yeah, I think Keith is a good prospect, but he hasn't done anything to make me assume that he is going to be a good hitter and given his defensive limitatons he's going to need to be an above average hitter

This is interesting. It will be more interesting to see how they adderss the situation. It could be a matter of some players needing a lot of data and others needing to be more natural. It seems that they are now allowing Torkelson to do it his way with positive results.

Do they even have an A team? It will be the line-up which puts them in the best position to win like most days.

Hinch does so much shuffling on a daily basis that I don't think there is any need for a "Sunday line-up"

Bad ones don't either for the most part.

No, it's all Avila's prospects!😄

I think they would like to do that, but good fielders who can hit acceptably are getting more difficult to acquire. You can't just have a bunch of Kreidlers. I think Harris and company are actively seeking to develop more well rounded players in their system, but most of their recent prospects havenot been plus fielders.

Isn't that true of almost every pitcher?

"Administrative error"

Adduci used to do it all the time, but that was for himself, not the team.

They don't. They need to reach out more. They need to stop assuming that everybody hates Trump and will autmatically vote Democrat.

It's really amazing. Authoritarian morons are telling reporters what to report, researchers what to research, teachers what to teach...And if you don't do what they say it means you don't like America and will be punished.

Most people don't pay attention to politics as much as people in this thread do. I really think we forget that. It is amazing how much the average person misses.

Most people probably didn't read that comment or think that it was made up.

I agree with this. The assumption of some liberals that they own certain demographics has hurt them. I think anyone who is not an American White male should vote Democrat, but you can't assume that everyone thinks that way.

He would send the Tigers Hispanic players there too, althought they don't have a lot of them at the moment. They are so white, even their black players look white.

The Doge**** commission has now cut Americorps. A lot of my students participated in that. It was good for the community and good for them I guess volunteer community service by young people is too woke... Screw that. We need more of that, not less. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5255458-gavin-newsom-california-americorps-trump-administration-legal-action/

It won't get anyone. They'll just laugh.

I remember him from the USFL which actually started 42 years ago (not 45). I saw him in an interview and my very sensitive douchebag meter went off the charts immediately!

It will be partially implemented with each team having a limited number of challenges per game. I hope they do a better job than they do with other challenges. I understand that that it works pretty quickly in the minors, but that doesn't mean it will be quick in the majors. Is there a chance that the majors will have more technology giving conflicting conclusions which slows down the process?

I hated Trump 45 years ago. 😄

In my small sample size, his biggest supporters still love him. They love what he's doing with immigrants and they expect the tariffs to fix the econony. He is saving America! The moderate Republicans (voted for Haley and then Trump) don't like him, but think the liberals are overreacting. They are not regretting voting against Harris. I think i's going to take a fairly long-term economic down-term to change any minds.
