Because you can't judge a player on an injury plagued year, and people heal.
-
Eventually. Making the jump is harder these days than ever, and it's probably unreasonable to expect instant success and not some bumps.
-
People are excited he's back because they genuinely like the guy and he represents an era of Tiger baseball that was fun and memorable. No one expects him to be the Verlander of 2011, but if he can be the Verlander of 2025, that'd be great.

You know what is a waste of time? Posting bull**** and then doubling down when called on it.
-
Yes, he was, slightly. Much harder to hit. Mize better with the walks. Mize might trend up, but we'll see.
-
If it's just a labral tear, the outlook is actually pretty good, if there is some structural instability, then less so.
-
Yes, that's fair.
-
Nope

They don't consider "worth". The Tigers are presenting that a 90% salary increase is appropriate based on past history in arbitration. Boras is saying that more than tripling his salary can be justified in this case. Yes, he has to pick one or the other, but that doesn't mean his "worth" is mid range between the two.
-
Skubal is not going to extend. Arbitration is not necessarily based on what a player is "worth", it is based more on precedent, and what is reasonable and fair, regarding wage progression, compared to others in a similar situation who have gone before.
-
Then fix the huge competitive economic disparity between franchises.
-
The current system was fairly negotiated and is based on the premise that teams could limit player costs prior to players earning free agency. If that system is breached, and the Skubal case is an attempt to drastically raise the bar for future arbitration cases, then the system is broken.

Ivey traded to Chicago for Kevin Huerter and Dario Saric

I think if you look at his injury history, his shooting declined in correlation with trying to play through the injuries, back issues this year, shoulder issues, including surgery, previously. Hopefully the Pistons are up to speed on recovery prognosis. -
I have no faith in Javy offensively.

Some think 32 is between 30 and 40.

I think he's been plagued by some nagging injuries, if/when healthy I believe he'll be fine. -
They didn't "low ball" him, Arbitration isn't intended to reflect what a players value would be in free agency.
-
Don't worry, pitching is not stable.
-
He does have great hair.
-
The broadcast issues are those that can and need to be solved by the owners, not at the table. The owners know they're not getting a cap and aren't going to die on that hill.
-
These are mostly old issues that have been proposed, discussed and tweaked for decades. There is no large precipitating issue that should lead to an impasse. We are dealing with human beings, however.
-
Why do you think this? I don't see any huge, must have, hot button issues on either side, like there has been in the past, that would lead to a bitter stand off.
-
Yes it is, I was responding to op saying he's only done short term so far.
-
You are correct, it doesn't prove anything, remains to be seen.
-
And it disproves any notion that Harris is unwilling to make a long term commitment to a premium player.
