According to BA, the Tigers have seen C Kyle Teel of Virginia a lot, and would take him if Crews and Langford go 1-2. Sounds like the Tigers are extremely high on Langford.
I might have a tear in my labrum. Or, more likely it's tendonitis. I am waiting for an ultrasound at the end of July.
In other news, the Tigers have the fifth worst record in baseball.
I think the Lions will still use Anzalone a lot, but he might move to the outside. I think he will be used on run downs, and Campbell/Rodrigo on passing downs.
Greg Cosell was on Stoney and Jansen yesterday, and he wasn't too high on Will Anderson. Said his hips were tight. Buyer beware.
Fwiw, imo Cosell is the best in the business.
