It is not safe to assume Candelario would have signed here for $5 million...it remains to be seen if they can sign a 3B for the $7 million he would have cost us and what his or her (pronouns!!) production will be

When I coached softball...I played a LH 3rd baseman because he was the only guy left who could actually field a ground ball...I figured I'd sacrifice a few IF singles to stop automatic 2b's

Clean up his mechanics a bit..particularly when throwing on the run...and JJ McCarthy is going to be a top QB prospect. He has the arm, the feet and he doesn't rattle easily

And our DB's showed...it's helpful if the DB's just let you run past them

Bowden from The Athletic published a single FA target for all 30 teams. He said the Tigers should sign OF Mitch Haniger for one year at 15 Million

Miggy hasn't been the man since what...2016? My hope is that he hits well enough this year or gets so few AB's that he finishes with a .300 career BA. 500 HRs will be less of a milestone going forward, but hitting .300 seems to becoming more rare

Donovan Edwards gets called out for injuries...but he just ran for 216 yards with a cast on his broken hand. Swift would have been out for the year. No way in hell is Williams worth 7mil a year

Looking locally...I would look at UM's Oluwatimi for a C/G prospect in rd 2. I would take a flyer on Sainristil in the late rds for DB depth. I reaaly like Corum for RB depth In the 3rd/4th rd range I would look at BG's DL Karl Brooks...he's excelled on the edge and inside. I don't know if he's going to be in the draft this year...but OSU's LB Tommy Eichenberg showed a lot of range against UM. Every time I see OSU play..he stands out

The guys Harris signs will quite possibly suck...the Castros and Reyes and Jeimer also sucked. AA was not a good GM...he sucked. You don't magically undo that much suck in one year

How you treat your greats is part of what defines you as a franchise. You can't just euphemistically take Miggy out back and shoot him. He's earned the opportunity to say goodbye on his terms. Give him some AB's..put him on the DL if the knee flares up and hope that he's able to somewhat replicate his last decent year (2020) on his way out the door.

The PP is vastly improved with Perron running things from the half wall. You don't have nearly as many guys on the point indiscriminately blasting away at the cage in hopes of getting a deflection

Getting back to the topic of baseball...the Yankees may be looking to deal Gleybar Torres...could be can offensive upgrade if he's open to playing 2B. Doing some online research in Google news archive of the Toledo Blade. Stumbled upon an interesting item in the sports pages. Apparently...at the 1974 winter meetings the Tigers almost traded Bill Slayback and Mickey Stanley to the Mets. The Mets were to send Rusty Staub to the Phillies..the Phils would then send C Bob Boone to Detroit. Great deal for Detroit...Ok deal for the Phils...awful trade for the Mets

I think Bert gets dealt. Would love a draft pick in return...when Fabbri gets back I'm think Elmer (assuming he's healthy) gets sent down. Zadina is going to have a very hard time finding a spot in this line up

He's slightly built..lacks explosion and his arms are relatively short. In his defense, he can shoot the ball a bit..but probably not enough to overcome his shortcomings. Maybe he gets a call in the 2nd round..

I think you have to NHL and MLB GM's awhile. The timeline for developing draft picks is longer in both sports. Yzerman has the Wings in playoff contention in his 4th year...we're probably looking at a similar timeline with Harris

When are we signing an OF someone else wants

Pick against Rogers...forced a pick 6 against Fields ... pick against Jones. Hutch is becoming a force out there

Luke Glendening is sorely missed...RH face off guy

I think the biggest attribute he has is he's really really smart....seems to always find a way to get open. Kennedy is the same way

Baseball...although a fedora would make a bold statement

Now Tork has three people to ignore...

If the Vikings win...Bills fans will wonder if they should have taken a safety instead of trying the QB sneak from their own .5 yd line

This Buffalo/ Minnesota game is insane

I was ecstatic when Zadina "fell" to us...there had been a fair amount of whispers about them drafting Bouchard pre draft (not so much on Hughes). If only....

It occurred to me the other day...you don't see a lot of white wall tires anymore
