No, seriously. The Tigers get competitive and there's a work stoppage? That would be horrible. I can barely wait until spring...lol

I agree. SP isn't the Tigers major need but I would take him on a minor league deal. But we really need to start working on a new CBA.

I knew that question would pop up. Faedo (sp). And that guy we just added to the 40 man roster, Olson. Turnbull will be back, along with Boyd. And Wentz. Also, a couple of guys named Rodriguez I noticed on our 40 man roster. So yeah, a few will never make it and a few may get hurt. Or not.

It really is amazing looking at pitchers stats from the 60's and before. 300 innings? No problem..... https://www.baseball-almanac.com/pitching/piinnp4.shtml

I heard Dombrowski say something like that when the Tigers drafted pitchers when he was still the GM. Good SP can get a lot in a trade. Maybe it's how we'll fill the SS role, someone none of us have guessed.

We have 3 or 4 guys that'll be ready in a year or 2. But yes, get more. Someone once said you can never have too much pitching.

My pick for their 1st win is still alive. Chicago...Turkey Day. Book it.

8-8-1??

No reason to sign a kicker. Waste of money. Just call in someone from the street. A beer vendor or something.

Oh no. Take the wind!!

8-8-1?

The Lions could still finish at 9-8. They won't but on paper they could. May as well start now.

The passes are there. If we had a QB we could win this game. Pittsburgh is struggling on offense.

11 1st half passing yards. Eleven. Wow.

Andre Ware, Joey Blue Skies.

And now for....." Remember This?" When Leyland was still manager, there was a guy in the stands who looked exactly like him. They showed him on TV and it was funny. Carry on.....

I wonder what we could get for Skubal? LH pitchers are valuable. Maybe a SS? He gives up too many home runs. But maybe a team thinks they could fix that?

I'm still an agitator.

One of the outfield statues would be too. 😆

Touche.

Every hall of fame player was a rookie at one time or another.

Apparently, it's a done deal. Too bad it's not real;

Oh, and on the upside, his name is easier to spell than Kreidler's. 😅😅

Well, he won with the Cubs. So yeah, I guess it's just me who doesn't like the bat flips and other flamboyant antics.

Good article this morning in the Free Press about Kreidler. They claim his defense is major league ready. His K rate is way too high but there may be hope for that. Many minor league pitchers don't throw strikes so a free swinger may go after bad pitches. And he's a young player, still learning. It's not like Baez who already has a MLB track record WRT strikeouts. We desperately need a defensive SS who can produce on offense too. But I'm not sure giving 1/4 billion $$ to one player would be a good idea. It really wouldn't surprise me If Avila pulled off a trade for a decent SS. Or if he went with Kreidler. It's a decision I'm glad I don't have to make!
