Soto will be a 7th inning guy for a playoff team and just dominate a post season...he is miscast as the last line of defense on an awful team.
-
That's the issue.

They only scored one run.

An uninspiring and unwatchable product. They got 30,000 for a few games in the blue jays series. I imagine they won't get that many people in the park for like 4 combines games going forward.

I'll take anyone who can a flyball beyond 300 feet.

Is there an above average position player anywhere on this list? It's too early for the international kids. I'm not sure any of the guys at W Michigan or above projects to be above average.

In the grand scheme of things, the Baez contract is not the biggest issue with Avila. It's all player development before 2021(before the overhaul). They claimed that a development machine was being built to produce young players that could seamlessly come in and contribute to the major league club. But all they did was tank and try to get high draft picks. From 2018-2021, I said that the biggest games in the organization were in the minors. We would see if they could produce players outisde of the top 10 draft picks. They didn't and we are stuck with the Castros, Reyes, and overcooked players like Grossman and Schoop as a core of a major league team. They clearly need more time to develop players. I don't want Al steering that ship and trying to extract value out of this terrible roster.

They wanted good pr before the lockout. Objectively, the Baez and E-rod deals are reasonable value. But no chance they wanted to wait till after the new CBA when smart teams get good value.

The Tigers wanted to get cost certainty before the lockout. That's why they got Baez. Before the lockout, Correa was asking for over $300 million and settled for peanuts afterwards. If you want to kill the Tigers for not reading how things would look after the lockout, that's fair.

Akil Baddoo with a double.

Greene with a single scoring Hill via a Woo-Sox error.

Greene double, Kriedler walk, Candelario RBI double to left fielder/old friend Christin Stewart.

I’m not in panic mode. This team is awful and the current gm created the issue. He has never built a winning org on his own and I see no evidence to let him try again.

More Hinch: "This is unacceptable. We are better than this. We have not lived up to the standard that we expect. "We're all accountable -- players, coaches, manager, front office, everybody -- because it's been below par."

Sheesh they had to use Lange in a noncompetitive game. And now he has nothing. This is an outright disaster.

At some point, Avila's tenure becomes untenable. I'll allow some forgiveness for injuries. But his player dev system has produced nothing substantial in the field. And it looks like they'll need at least a few more years to cycle out the older vets who haven't produced this year. You'll need a nimble exec who can make some interesting baseball trades and find value to get more talent. Avila has had ample time to do anything aside from paint by numbers. I don't think he's capable of fixing his own mess. The owner shows no credibility if he allows Al to level set the org after he's the one who put us here. He was given a clean slate and they have made very little progress.

Moncada with a .420 OPS coming into today cranks one.
