I'm not thrilled about it, but Holmes's overall success in the draft makes it less of a problem then it could've been.

We have game threads for this sort of discussion. Kindly use them rather than starting new threads in the future. Thanks.

Why are you so convinced that his efforts are half-assed?

It's not just one teammate lavishing praise on Levi this camp, it's everyone there. I don't know what to expect from him this season just based on one apparently very good camp, but I'd rather hear this than the opposite.

Agreed.

Honestly, that's the kind of return I'd need to move Skubal. If it's delusional, then I'm happy to keep him.

He was the first, but not the only. EDIT: Killebrew was the first

Has Tork figured something out?

A rat done bit my sister Nell.

Nobody is.

Me, turning the game on and seeing two on and no outs: "Faedo sucks" Faedo: K's the next three in a row. 😂

Is Javy trying to get traded? 🤣

Erie completes the combined no-no and wins 3-0.

Jobe finishes with 6 no-hit innings.

June 24th against the Tribe.

Nice catch, kid.

LOL, this bullpen is garbage. They finally get me interested to watch a game again, and they do the same ish that made me stop watching in the first place.

Gonna have to overcome a lot of sloppy play tonight.

Arr, matey.

Did Troy Weaver take over the Red Wings?

I'm open to trading Skubal for high-end return. My comment about prospects was about our current prospects, though. I'm open to trading anyone in our system for proven MLB studs, because I think the farm system should be as much about flipping prospects to improve immediate weaknesses as it is developing players for the team's future. "Go with the kids to see what you've got" rarely works -- you need good vets around to carry the kids through their inevitable slumps as they attempt to make the biggest transition they will ever try to make. That's why I wanted Ililtch/Harris to acquire a couple of good hitters over the winter, and why I want them to do so this winter.

Cool. We just disagree. I want an aggressive owner who hires an aggressive GM to build around their stud starting pitcher like the last time the Tigers were good. Prospects are great until they aren't.

https://www.deadlinedetroit.com/articles/30281/chris_ilitch_detroit_tigers_rebuild_is_100_percent_over Fans have a right to be impatient, especially in the face of statements like this from the owner just 2 years ago. I question how passionate Chris is about sports in general. Every championship team this city has had in my lifetime was owned by dudes whose passion for the sport was obvious and unquestioned. They all felt like one of us, despite being billionaires, and Chris doesn't exude that IMO. Do I think he'd like to have winning teams? Yeah, I do, but not at any cost like his dad or Bill Davidson. I don't think losses affect him like they did those other guys. Maybe Im wrong and Chris just keeps that passion hidden from the public, but why would any owner want to hide that?
