May not be live live, but I'm pretty sure I can use power query and force it a .csv, which wouldn't take very long.

Not sure Negro Leagues were in BR at the time.

JAWS is career WAR and WAR7 (Top 7 WAR years). This is WAR and WAR4 with the Tigers, but a composite between Reference and Fangraphs. (I have not factored in postseason yet, nor have I figured out a fair way to bump up War years, but I plan on tackling in time... Just getting the databases set up now)

A little something I'm working on... I'm calling it PAWS, not sure what P stands for, but it is a Tigers-specific version of JAWS. I'm hoping to have a live tracker ready for opening day, but as a teaser, the top 10 (and ties) catchers* in Tigers history. Catcher First Year Last Year PAWS Bill Freehan 1961 1976 67.5 Lance Parrish 1977 1986 49.4 Mickey Tettleton 1991 1994 29.3 Johnny Bassler 1921 1927 27.9 Ivan Rodriguez 2004 2008 26.4 Alex Avila 2009 2017 24.2 Mickey Cochrane 1934 1937 22.9 Brad Ausmus 1996 2000 15.4 Matt Nokes 1986 1990 13.3 Red Wilson 1954 1960 12.2 John Wockenfuss 1974 1983 12.2 *Position defined by plurality of games played as a Tiger. Jake Rogers is at 8.6, Dillon Dingler at 7.1.

Calling for Elon Musk to commit suicide?

Cespedes BBQ did an all-name bracket a while back... As an aside, my Grandfather apparently knew Boots Poffenberger.

They are over now? I ask because I believe they count against the Domestic Reserve List if so.

I am going to see who else he gets involved before subscribing. It looks like Mike Smith is going to contribute, which is good, but why do I get the feeling sportz finds a home there? Or if he is bringing on prospect help, there are several people in that arena I wouldn't want to support.

It is one already.

I hope she take three years to return and loses track of when the election is.

Alternate the road jerseys all you want. Wear the home whites 81 times per regular season.

24th Amendment doesn't leave much interpretation, even for this SCOTUS.

No way that gets through the Senate as long as the filibuster is around.

Not since the auto zone came in... https://blogs.fangraphs.com/lets-get-small-hundreds-of-minor-leaguers-have-shrunk/

Serious Idiocracy vibes from Bondi.

Starting in 2030 does not give the schedule, @Tigermojo @Shelton AAV is way different for all paid out in 2030 or spread out over 5, 10, 20, 40 years. Without the actual precise schedule, the luxury tax hit is unknown for both deals.

I don't know where they are getting their AAV for Valdez and Verlander with the deferral schedule not announced yet. Even the bonus deferred for $1M per over 20 years is above their number for Valdez.

Player CBT Total Framber Valdez $37,359,710.27 Tarik Skubal $32,000,000.00 Javier Baez $23,333,333.33 Gleyber Torres $22,025,000.00 Jack Flaherty $17,500,000.00 Justin Verlander $11,393,521.95 Kenley Jansen $11,000,000.00 Kyle Finnegan $9,500,000.00 Drew Anderson $7,000,000.00 Casey Mize $6,150,000.00 Riley Greene $5,000,000.00 Colt Keith $4,773,750.00 Zach McKinstry $4,200,000.00 Spencer Torkelson $4,075,000.00 Will Vest $3,950,000.00 Kerry Carpenter $3,275,000.00 Matt Vierling $3,255,000.00 Jake Rogers $3,050,000.00 Tyler Holton $1,575,000.00 Beau Brieske $1,157,500.00 Reese Olson $800,000.00 Parker Meadows $800,000.00 Wenceel Perez $800,000.00 Dillon Dingler $800,000.00 Jahmai Jones $800,000.00 Brant Hurter $790,000.00 Brenan Hanifee $790,000.00 Jackson Jobe $785,000.00 Ty Madden $380,700.00 Sawyer Gipson-Long $372,053.00 Trey Sweeney $359,243.00 Keider Montero $238,347.00 Bailey Horn $150,084.00 Troy Melton $149,447.00 Jace Jung $127,100.00 Drew Sommers $127,100.00 Dylan Smith $127,100.00 Hao Yu Lee $63,600.00 Thayron Liranzo $63,600.00 Jake Miller $63,600.00 Eduardo Valencia $63,600.00 Trei Cruz $63,600.00 Justyn-Henry Malloy -$100,000.00 Eduardo Rodriguez -$933,333.33 Austin Slater Tomas Nido Burch Smith Tanner Rainey Phil Bickford Enmanuel De Jesus Bryan Sammons Konnor Pilkington Troy Watson Scott Effross Ricky Vanasco Corey Julks Jack Little Tyler Mattison Tyler Owens Sean Guenther Dugan Darnell Matt Seelinger $219,253,656.22 Pre-Arb Bonus Pool $1,666,666.67 Player Benefits $18,000,000.00 CBT Payroll $238,920,322.89 CBT Threshold $244,000,000.00 CBT Room $5,079,677.11 What I got for CBT Calculations. Still don't know the deferral schedule for JV and Valdez, but this assumes the entire deferral payments are in 2030 when both have been phrased to begin. The AAV's will go down from here. Every time a player is put on the IL and a minor leaguer is called up, this number will go up. Fangraphs overshoots that effect a bit in their calculation. I calculate as they go.

(wrong thread)

On the downside, Ben Verlander tweets now...

None of the guys added since August 15 can be outrighted until March 6. That includes Cruz, Liranzo, Valencia. Somebody (probably Olsen) to the 60.

Still don't know CBT number for Verlander or Valdez until we know the deferral schedule.

Old takes exposed my Verlander and Valdez takes please.

I don't think the totallytigers woman is a real person. That site has all the makings of AI Slop.

Hulu Live/ESPN/Disney bundle for main cable. Netflix Prime HBO Max Peacock (MLB, Big Ten, and some golf) MLB.TV Paramount+ (close to cancelling but it is cheap) Apple TV (good shows and MLB games) Big Ten Plus (for my Big Ten volleyball and baseball) I get everything except local Bally channels, but those are going away. I might subscribe to the Rays/Marlins plans for a month to catch the Tigers when they play. I resisted before because I did not want to support Bally/FanDuel. Gambling sucks. My credit card (Amex Blue Preferred) gives me 6% cash back on all of the above, and an additional $10/month on the Disney Bundle, so that lightens the cost somewhat.
