Tiger337 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Dombrowski is the Billy Martin of GMs. He wins in the short-term, but destroys things long-term. Dombrowski is revered in Detroit, because that was the only time in the last four decades that the Tigers had a winning team. He is less liked in Boston because they were already a winning organization prior to DD. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I got 7/9 today as well. Should've stopped after the whiffing on the first question of 30/30 and 200 hits. Trying to go for the rarity I said Kinsler but he topped out at 190 hits. Also missed the middle square of 40+ HRs and Gold Gloves. I'm terrible with GGs but I knew Goldschmidt has won a bunch in recent years and I thought he hit 40 atleast once but nope he topped out at 37.

They started in 1957. Tigers Gold Glove Winners: P. Lary P. Rogers C. Freehan C. Parrish C. Rodriguez 2B. Whitaker 2B. Polanco 2B. Kinsler SS. Trammell SS. Brinkman 3B. Rodriguez LF. Cespedes CF. Stanley CF. Pettis RF Kaline The biggest surprise is Cespedes. He was a good defender, but I don't remember him winning a Gold Glove or having the reputatuion to win one. I am a bit surprised Lemon never won one. There were some great center fielders, but I figured he would have snuck in there one year with either Chicago or Detroit.

RandyMarsh Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Im not familiar with the area but I was always under the impression that the main blame for attendance was not just the park itself but being located in St. Pete instead of Tampa. If that is indeed the case I don't know that a new stadium is going to help all that much outside of maybe the first year or two until the novelty wears off.
