In fairness the Reds infield prospect depth makes this not the best example in the world.

Yep, and I don't quite buy into the groupthink around how disastrous that is.

Maybe I should save the invective for the political board, but we find out Thursday who gets put on the Dumbass List for the Tigers.

I don't see why shopping Skubal is an issue.

Stateside? FCL games are in Lakeland.

I want a Spinoff of Security Guard Jerry experiencing the last 12 years of Nebraska football.

Well the beginning of the montage was. Still can't believe Carol Burnett got the headlines, but Jerry from Parks and Rec isn't press worthy.

Jerry!?!?!

Gold was slot. I forget if I saw it on BA or Pipeline. I've got them 2.77% over with 12-14, 17-20 to go. They can go $178,865 the $125,000 limit on those guys over without incurring pick penalties.

P.s. my best guess is painkiller addiction. Because that is something that is very widespread in baseball, particularly pitchers coming back from injury.

That would not be covered by the restricted list, but instead the bereavement and family emergency list.

I feel like people said guys like Cisnero and Funkhouser shouldn't have been traded last year because the Tigers had team control on them. Cash in any reliever you can in a down season.

Re that 1000 ops question, do we have a PA minimum? I found one that did it over 265 minor league plate appearances about 10 years ago. Only hint:

If it was a medical emergency or something that would have garnered sympathy, he would have been put on the bereavement/family emergency list and not the restricted list.

Sure I am. I know from experience most of that crew is pretty clueless and actually detracts from the public discourse on Tigers prospects, and that list strays enough from the consensus without any particular reason behind it. It sucks. Prospects lists off the top of one's head without a ton of in-person scouting time or reasonable and well-filtered discussions with scouts and front office personnel are a waste of time and largely meaningless. By well-filtered, I mean being able to tell when you are being fed fluffy BS, which a lot of the current tigers twitter prospect person struggles with.

I don't have nearly enough information to put one together that would be worth a damn.

It's a bad list.

Pretty standard on the rehab stints, FWIW. I wouldn't take too much out of that.

Dingler was removed after a HBP yesterday.

Nope. He is already on a league minimum deal with the Dbacks.

Answering my fishing question above... Claiming somebody off waivers who is already on a minimum contract and signing them to a league minimum deal are effectively the same thing when it comes to roster space and salary.

What's the difference?

Wait, we are criticizing them for allowing a pitcher who wasn't exactly blowing down the doors in AAA, who has been slaughtered in the bigs the last two years, to opt out? They went and picked up Sedlock to eat those innings. They pick up Keuchel off the scrap heap and see if he finds something in Toledo. No harm in that, but plugging him in the rotation would be a mistake.

Just FYI, I'm not sure who got a physical, but those that did can't go too far under slot.

Still waiting on Mize to come back from his precautionary stint.
