  1. None is due to her
  2. If you are still teleworking or even hybrid, check out your auto insurance policy and see if you can lower your premium for reduced commute.
  3. Because they are draft eligible. They are being exploited in June.
  4. 100% Remember that when sharing/retweeting Flipkowski/Rupar etc amplifying these freaks.
  5. SIAP, but the Rockies signed Harold Castro.
  6. One of their signings is from Colombia. They signed a kid from New Zealand last year. Have one from a few years ago from Italy. Have signed many over the years from Mexico, Panama, Austrailia... Bojarski was from South Africa. Lest we forget Roberto Campos is from Cuba.
  7. Len Kasper grew up a Tigers fan. Joe Davis grew up a Tigers fan and Ernie Harwell is his biggest inspiration. Joe Block grew up a Tigers fan.
  8. Morris was awful, glad he's gone. Monroe has improved significantly. I am hoping a Granderson or Maybin is brought on for about 15-20 games. Also don't forget Shep's rant after Game 162, almost as if he was on his way out.
  9. There's a name on Table 2 of this Tweet who hasn't been affiliated with the Tigers for 13 years now, does some broadcasting for TBS and may want to add some game calling to his mantle (even on a part time basis).
  10. Platoons matter on opening day too.
  11. My stack got out of control during COVID, especially when I had to bring all my work stuff home. Add in that I have a bunch of stuff from the alumni club that I need to hand over to the next wave, and it was a combination of aircraft part drawings, performance reviews, EOB's, bank statements, and alumni records. Just a complete mess.
  12. Opening day is against the Rays, who will likely throw Shane McClanahan. I doubt Maton is in the lineup, and Meadows is that high up if in at all.
  13. Anybody else have documents in disarray and spend a lot of the last few days trying to organize and reign them in?
  14. I really just want to reiterate that throwing money after the top ranked IFA prospects may not be some panacea. Evaluation is more important. Also, given the morass and corruption there, there may be a moral high ground in not getting too dirty.
  15. It has been addressed. Metzler is overseeing the process now. But these agreements are years in advance, and there's really no way to reverse course in the time since Harris was hired. Even next year's crop is likely to be heavily influenced by the Avila-era course. Still, 4 in the top 40 when there are 30 teams to compete against is a pretty solid crop, if you assume that international prospect rankings are worth anything. Even the Badlers of the world will tell you they aren't. The true gains from an overhaul would be felt from being able to identify bargain players that don't count against the pool anyways, similar to what the Astros did with their pitching. The Tigers really haven't hit on many of their bonus babies yet.
  16. This is not a defense of Biden or Trump, re: documents, but I have a feeling there was a lot of document disorganization for people with security clearance in 2020. Records laws don't really account for an abrupt shift to remote work. I've had printed out aircraft drawings in my spare bedroom for almost three years now. They aren't classified at all, but the type of thing that really shouldn't be in my house.
  17. Shreve's contract was not guaranteed.
  18. He was atop my list too, tbh. I don't mind hanging on to him. It's not like a Miggy Situation where you are stuck with him and can't cut him if he struggles.
  19. Why the outrage over Cisnero after he agrees to his deal and not when he was offered arbitration? The deal isn't exorbitant at all, and roughly in line with what I would expect him to get in arb. Once he was tendered in November, it's not like they can just back out.
  20. The roster with half fictional OOTP-created names is likely the most accurate in this thread. (And shows the point that we likely haven't heard of any relievers in the 2029 bullpen)
  21. Derek Hill wishing that new padding was a few years ago...
  22. Where the members of the World Champion 2022 Astros were in Spring 2016. Martin Maldonado, Backup Catcher Brewers Yuli Gurriel, Cuba Jose Altuve, Astros 2B Alex Bregman, A Ball in Astros System Jeremy Pena, Freshman at University of Maine Michael Brantley, Indians Disabled List Chas McCormick, Junior at Millersville University Kyle Tucker, A Ball in Astros System Yordan Alvarez, Cuba Aledmys Diaz, rookie in Cardinals camp Mauricio Dubon, A Ball in Red Sox system Trey Mancini, AA in Orioles system Jose Siri, A ball in Reds system Christian Vazquez, AAA in Red Sox system Justin Verlander, Tigers rotation Framber Valdez, rookie ball in Astros system Jose Urquidy, A ball in Astros system Luis Garcia, Venezeula amateur Cristian Javier, Rookie Ball in Astros system Ryan Pressly, Twins bullpen Rafael Montero, Mets AA Rotation Phil Maton, Padres A Ball Hector Neris, Phillies bullpen Ryne Stanek, Rays AA Bryan Abreu, Astros rookie ball Lance McCullers, Astros Disabled List Seth Martinez, Junior at Arizona State Will Smith, Brewers Bullpen Hunter Brown, senior in high school
  23. Watch as lowering the fence somehow affects the batter's eye and exit velos in Comerica drop.
