He's been saying untrue stuff and getting people to believe it for a decade now. Why stop now?

No. It wouldn't affect his Tigers gig, and it makes perfect sense that NBC would be trying to lock up its announcers for the new deal.

Was gonna warn you all that @PSU is a trap.

Yeah. In addition to his cement glove, he is a clear platoon guy on the short side. That does have value, but it is limited.

I could still see him being roughly replacement level with that line if he was playing in the field.

I am surprised JHM only netted cash, but I bet it was the maximum ($100,000) amount allowed. He would have gotten them $50,000 if claimed.

Effross is top of mind to me when people talk about "years of control" for relievers. He was traded with a year of service time and the control was cited. He proceeded to battle injuries and flame out.

Benetti is the leading candidate to take the NBC Sunday Night Baseball gig. Wouldn't affect his Tigers role. His days off would just be Sunday instead of Saturday.

Wasn't sure where to put this https://x.com/i/status/2008184655355547849

I've talked to or heard from a lot of people who have gone through what I went through. They don't bother testing and assume it is flu and go around telling people it is flu. Just googling, I saw some tabloidy type outlets claiming Adenovirus is the mystery illness sweeping the country. That is my suspicion, a particularly nasty strain. Sorry in advance if anybody gets that beast. It seems to be making the rounds.

I did wonder what this means for Magglio, who was a Chavez/Maduro friendly mayor back in the day.

Chris is Barney's grand nephew. There is a relation.

Be careful using Wikipedia. Best to just go straight to the CBA itself.

People realize Candelario bottomed out the last two years, right? The Reds cut him after 1.5 years of very negative WAR production. Granted, the year of control he was non-tendered was pretty productive for the Nats and Cubs. I just want to make sure it is known just how bad he got on his contract with the Reds. Also, not signing Framber isn't some cheapness, do the minimum deal. You've built a team with some kind of special sauce for makeup and team-before-self attitude that should increase the likelihood (By the way, for all we know, this could have been why Candelario was non-tendered). You don't blow that up by overspending on a pitcher who... checks notes.. intentionally crossed up and injured his catcher this year without some extensive assurances that was anomylous.

I am an alumnus of a school with perennial top 5 basketball team, an emerging blue blood, with arguably the best (if not most articulate) head coach in the country that is a legitimate national championship contender. The fan base erupts after a loss or a bad half. The social media algorithm is turned up to 11, I think.

I do think the CBA should be required reading before proposing anything here... Just as a baseline.

This year's South Parks did a great job of satirizing this, turning Jesus into a MAGA bro who dates a plastic born again because that is what Christianity is to so many. I was confirmed Catholic, but there is a separate reason I got disillusioned there.

Maureen Comey this, Maureen Comey that.

Thinking of ditching the second season of Shrinking since they seem to be using dementia as a plot device. Seriously, Wendy Mallick's character's husband has dementia and she's out dating somebody else and not spending every waking moment she can with him? And it appears instead of focusing on the hell she should have been going through, it's being used to add complications to Harrison Ford's character's Parkinsons?

Not all team Top 10's are created equal, though. That is to say Top 10 strengths vary significantly, so saying "This Top 10 failed" doesn't mean another Top 10 will fail. Yes, the odds both McGonigle and Clark become top flight regulars are much smaller than people think, but this snap shot was from a time when the Tigers' farm was pretty weak (preseason 2023?).

??? First and second year college guys are not eligible for the draft ( unless they are 21)

That "urgent" message sounds like a scam. I hope you didn't click on anything inside of it.

In the BA Era, the only Tigers position prospects ranked in the Preseason Top 10 are... 2007 Cameron Maybin (6) 2021 Spencer Torkelson (5) 2022 Riley Greene (4) 2022 Spencer Torkelson (5) By all indications, McGonigle will be 2, and the talk is that he and Konnor Griffin are a different brand of a elite than most 1-2 combos. Every prospect is different. Every prospect reacts differently to failure. Saying that the Tigers shouldn't promote McGonigle because Scott Sizemore flopped shows a lack of understanding of the difference in their pedigrees. And some fan on their couch isn't going to know the ins and outs about whether failure would positively or negatively affect McGonigle more than the Tigers' staff or McGonigle himself. The Prospect Promotion Incentive Draft Pick rules give a big incentive to the Tigers to put him on the opening day roster if he is ready.
