Short is having a good spring, now play some OF, but having one more option means he is Toledo bound

Baddoo in RF for the non-televised game is not a coincidence

Short probably will not go north but he’s having a great spring

A former evangelical explained this once and I found it illuminating Professing your Christianity has replaced being Christian with these people It is really just that simple - I am Christian because I say I am. My unchristian acts have no more relevance than the lack of any Christian acts. They see no hypocrisy in having Christian on your bio as you degrade your fellow Americans

AJ likes Davis “He’s right in the middle of it,” Hinch said. “His at-bat quality in the minors has been very good. He hasn’t gotten the opportunity in the big leagues. We want to make sure he gets a look at a number of different spots. With all the left-handed outfielders we have, he’s a perfect complement if he can continue to put up really good at-bats.”

pissing away 320 PAs on Grossman netted them Chris Anglin - the lesson being: just cut Schoop

Harris should see if someone like Gleyber Torres is available in return for Boyd

Kelenic has had 3 long looks over 2 years and the jury is still out if he will hit. Same for Tork. Either he can or he cannot. But drafting CJ Cron 1/1 is really disappointing.

Rogers also looks a little fitter than last I saw him

FG has both Mayer and Lawler as impact ML players, even more so if they stay at SS. Thanks Al.

Neto, one pick after Jung, slotted by FG at 61. Thanks Al.

I do NOT think the Tigers are hoping for an injury, but the "risk" of losing Miggy to a WBC injury (that is, no risk at all) made waiving the insurance requirement an easy call. His knee won't last past mid-June.

WJR was awesome; brother and sister went to school in Boston and they could regularly tune into Ernie in late 80s and early 90s - but only for night games; too much something during the day

they are releasing you from the shackles of big government, so you can die cold and hungry, but as a free man

the Tigers certainly do not deserve the benefit of doubt when it comes to talent identification and development, especially on the position player side. Law would probably deny this matters, but it totally understandable that that plays a part in how organization is viewed externally, even if it is not "fair" to current prospects.

I remain hopeful that something can be done. There are millions of young people affected just by lock down drills, not even considering actual events. It may take another decade, but perhaps my future grandchildren will look at those drills they way I thought of "duck and cover" drills, a weird thing, way in the past. But this is true, for now at least

the Dominion filing is a page turner, something juicy on every page. just wait until the unredacted version is dropped! this should not surprise anyone, but Murdoch just admits Fox is GOP state media: and we should concentrate on Georgia, helping any way we can.

Cisnero, in really good shape and maybe the best shape of his life, has lost 12 pounds.

considering BP volatility and the loss of top 4 guys, BP is a strong candidate to regress - but Fetter has a lot of arms to work with

I hope this is true. But so far, he has authorized significant spending (as far as we know) once - after the 2021 season, and it was a complete fail. Miggy's contract is/was often used as an excuse by ownership, management, media and even fans to not spend (as soon as we get out from under it, we can spend!). Well, Bally's implosion could very well be the new built-in excuse to not spend (as soon as we figure media rights out, we can spend!). and I am not sure why the next batch of FAs will be ready and eager to sign non-ridiculous contracts with any team, let alone the Tigers.
