really surprised AJ let Malloy hit there. I guess because of the prior walk he was hoping for another. Even though Torrez is a RHB it would have been a good spot IMO.
literally - nobody. Just two misc folks on a sponsored Tiger Travel Tour talking up how good the tour guides were, how they loved the accommodations, tour events, and meeting the announcers. ie, Shilling for the tour.
I remember a few years ago the Tigers came out of ST with a bunch of steals, them proceeded to get thrown out a bunch of times once the season started and pretty much stopped running altogether. The were doing a nice job on the bases last season but definitely seem to be pushing a notch too hard this season. The trick will be to cut back without shutting it down.
We didn't quite get Scherzer just for Jackson. Scherzer's cost was Jackson and Ian Kennedy, and the payoff for Kennedy was Curtis Granderson less the return of Austin Jackson. Scherzer was still the prize of the deal, though Granderson was understood to be the biggest piece at the time.
EDIT: LOL, slow on the draw here!
