  1. Y'all do realize that Harris's job is mostly hiring and managing front office personnel and processes, right?
  2. You don't acquire his brother if he isn't in the plans.
  3. Ding ding ding ding... Also hinted Parker Meadows has similar issues and points to data that's been provided to them that isn't public. That supercedes fluffy video clips tweeted out for engagement.
  4. Damn. A couple weeks ago we could have solved the problem, but now we can't, since it is too soon to politicize it and all.
  5. Some good nuggets about some of the Tigers 40 man adds in here. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/40-man-deadline-analysis-al-central/
  6. For clarification, the one filing the suit was fired after last season, prior to Harris. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2022/11/21/fired-clubhouse-manager-sues-tigers-alleging-racial-discrimination/69668393007/
  7. For reference on mechanics. https://www.npr.org/2021/02/04/963785609/house-to-vote-on-stripping-rep-marjorie-taylor-greene-from-2-key-committees
  8. The series the NYT did on gambling yesterday was really good. Members of the Athletic promoting it is hypocritical at best, given their gambling partnerships.
  9. The main reason for excess non-tenders this year (i.e. the four pre-arb guys) has to do with the day being moved way up within the DFA period of the Rule 5 Protection day. A lot more players got non-tendered this year that may not have in the past. I wouldn't read much more into the increase this year.
  10. That would be tough to attain. I was able to get hard copies of the 1995-2000 Tigers Media guides on the cheap several years ago, which was my source for a lot of things. Archived baseball coverage of that era is very lacking, and the BR database is spotty (plus the rules changes make it tough to ID non-tenders before the 1997 CBA).
  11. Apropos of nothing, I compiled the list of Tigers non-tenders dating back to 1990. Data pre-1995 is spotty. Year Player 2022 Jeimer Candelario 2022 Harold Castro 2022 Willi Castro 2022 Brendon Davis 2022 Miguel Diaz 2022 Kyle Funkhouser 2022 Michael Papierski 2021 Matthew Boyd 2021 Grayson Greiner 2018 Alex Wilson 2018 James McCann 2017 Bruce Rondon 2015 Neftali Feliz 2015 Al Alburquerque 2012 Daniel Schlereth 2011 Will Rhymes 2010 Zach Miner 2008 Aquilino Lopez 2007 Chad Durbin 2006 Alexis Gomez 2004 Eric Munson 2003 Ben Petrick 2003 Andy Van Hekken 2002 Robert Fick 2002 Julio Santana 2001 Deivi Cruz 1997 Bob Hamelin 1997 Fernando Hernandez 1994 Junior Felix 1994 Gene Harris 1994 Mike Gardiner 1994 Chad Kreuter 1993 Bob MacDonald 1993 Gary Thurman 1992 Mark Carreon 1991 Andy Allanson 1991 Johnny Paredes 1990 Lance McCullers
  12. There's a lot of penciling in Colt Keith for a lineup spot after a good Arizona Fall League and a Lynn Henning puff piece.
  13. They kinda sorta buried the lede there. He is married into the Paul family. I am sure that is no coincidence with Rand's suspicious pro-Russia blathering the last several years.
  14. Welker suffers from former Rockies hitting prospectitis. That is to say a lot of people overrate those types, perhaps because there's some fantasy twist to prospect analysis. He also had a PED suspension this year. His good seasons are all in massive hitter's parks/leagues. To me, Vosler is the more intriguing of their non-tendered 3B.
  15. Of the five claims since Harris took the reigns, two have hit free agency and one more has already cleared waivers. That's fine. To me, the whole point of a waiver claim is to try to pass them through later and build depth.
  16. To me, it's a call on whether or not they think whatever plagued him this year was irreversible. I'd lean toward keeping him.
  17. Cost can force some players into the lineup when they don't deserve to be. We are living this big time with Miguel Cabrera in the final years of his deal. I don't think any of the Tigers arb guys are in this boat.
  18. Boebert won. May this be a lesson not to trust partisan wishcasters on Twitter pretending to parse the numbers.
  19. Both Castros have options. Reminder, my sheet always has option data updated. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jRnDAcv86yGYl1Tq6fdXD1VoGr2Ls5PiRBNEFBXHL3Y/edit#gid=0
  20. Jeb Bush in 2016. Rick Perry 2012. Howard Dean 2004
  21. I figure I will post here, but a good substack/podcast from a really good Florida Investigative Journalist who covers some of the grift and corruption in the state government. I'm sharing because the notion that DeSantis is somehow more moderate than Trump or even some kind of libertarian is false. And here's some reciepts. https://jasongarcia.substack.com/ One article on the ticking time bomb that is the Florida Home Insurance market teetering on the brink. That, or legal fallout from the Martha's Vineyard Stunt are the most likely downfalls. https://jasongarcia.substack.com/p/ron-desantis-could-have-made-lawmakers
