Heres the big board. https://www.tankathon.com/nfl/big_board Lions Picks: First round Second round Fourth round Fifth round Sixth round (from Buccaneers) Seventh round Seventh round (from Cowboys)

Well, throwing this out there as well. Because we seem to be in nomans land, how do we break out of it? Is it an option to trade Larkin? If we don't make the Playoffs, what has to be done?

So I'm in a strato-matic baseball league. Obviously we go by pitchers stats from the previous year. Well if a player pitches 200+ innings, usually we could pitch them on three days rest. I bring this up because as time has gone on, the number of 200 IP pitchers has drastically reduced. I think last year there were like two when 15 years ago there was probably 20-30/season. Nolan Ryan used to pitch a ridiculous amount of innings. I'm wondering if because guys are throwing so much harder these days that it really is a different game or are younger players being protected too much which end up getting them hurt by not building up enough arm stamina.... I think that is part of the larger picture to understand.

Whose got a .967 OPS over his last 7 games?????? This guy.....!

Here's a conversation starter: Do ya'll think Lalonde is really on the hotseat? He hasn't been given too much to work with over the years it looks like..... I think he's got 2-3 years left before the hotseat.

I'd take that risk and Beuhlers Risk all day. The Risk is worth the reward. Just get the premium insurance on him 🙂

I think they need to bring in some veterans to build around. 3-6 year contracts should be on the table this offseason. At least I hope. I said in the other thread, our last run started when we got credibility signing Pudge which led to Ordonez signing. We need to do the same thing. I think Harris is going to keep Jung and Jobe in the minors with the hopes that one or both can break camp next season. It'd net us another 1st round pick if either wins ROY which both have the potential for. (Much moreso Jobe than Jung but ya never know).

Our roster is gonna need some tweaks. We have a lot of rule 5 players eligible next year...... Should be a busy offseason.

Now that the trade deadline is over, the next big thing is the offseason. Figured I'd get a head start. Here's the FA List: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/04/2024-25-mlb-free-agents.html Time to go get Juan Soto and Corbin Burnes 😏 Seriously though, I'd like a reunion of Flaherty along with Walker Beuhler. That'd be solid. Chapman would be a good add or even go after Pete Alonso.

It definitely is depressing..... Only one potential Above average player in our whole organization (and barely at that)........ Sheeeesh. MLB had us 5th to start the year: https://www.mlb.com/news/farm-system-rankings-2024-preseason

Allows them to keep Holiday. They have enough IF prospects to cover 3B (plus you have Urias right now) and they don't really need Basallo either. Povich is replaced/upgraded by Skubal. It seems like such a great fit for both teams.......

Hey now, I was just answering your question...... 😏 But in the offseason, after they get bounced in the first round of the playoffs because their starters couldn't handle it.... Yep! 😋

Out of all seriousness though.... What started the Tigers last run was signing was signing one bonafide player to get credibility. That was Pudge. We then signed Maglio Ordonez the next month. This offseason would be a GREAT opportunity for the Tigers to sign players. If they can get two every day players and pitching, they could really change this team around. It won't be cheap. They need to bring in Star Veterans to help all of our young players out. I harp on our young players probably more than anyone. I'm a firm believer you need at least 3 players with a .800 OPS+ if not 4 to be competitive in the post season. Why shouldn't we be looking at Juan Soto, or Corbin Burnes in the offseason? The Dodgers are over the luxury tax, cant afford, the Yankee's also probably can't afford as they will be over. Angels and Boston will be the two big market main teams running for these guys... Why not us? We easily can fit in the cap space. We have a lot in the pipeline, but not all will make it. We need to go out and spend on stars to build credibility here. Thats what we did in the past and that's what we're going to need to do again to be successful. This offseason we should be spending.....

Skubal for Basallo, Mayo, Cowser and Povich. Cowser, every day LF, Mayo Every day 3B and Povich our new #3 starter.

I'll take it. Good job Greenberg.

We FINALLY get a trade and they won't tell us who we get in return........ God's screwing with us....

I would say I'm down to go streaking in Detroit if Greenburg doesn't deal Flaherty.... But I'm in Florida.

I love that stuff.... Crazy stuffed crust Pepp and a Deep Dish 3 meat almost every other weekend...... Sheeeesh

If they get bounced in the first round of the Playoffs, people are going to be pretty pissed.........

I swear to God... This is like the SHelby Miller trade for Dansby Swanson.... I guarantee the Marlins have sex pictures of Mike Elias..... They get TWO projected starters for THAT!?!?!?! FML.

The Orioles just traded their #5 prospect (who would be some teams #1) for a guy with an injury history a 4.53 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP..... WTF is Harris and Greenburg doing.......

Don't get me started again.......

LOL thats Funny!

If we added Mayo, Cowser/Kjersted and Basello I could..... The Tigers aren't poor. Realistically they are probably one of the top 7 teams in MLB in terms of money they can spend.....
