They say things like “Ok kid, now show me something”. cough Gorosh Cough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 I like Canha on the Tigers for a year. RHH outfielder to balance the LHH glut in the OF. Controls the plate, especially avoiding strikeouts. Very good contact skills, doesn't chase. Maybe a little too patient, though—takes a lot of called strikes. Has been very clutch this year. Good on-base although not much pop. Doesn't hit the ball hard and he hits a lot of flies, which tends to hurt him. It would be nice if he could hit more line drives. So-so range and a bit of a noodle for an arm, but he'll catch the ball if it finds him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares if we have a team full of utility players and kids with limited experience? It's a weak division, we don't even have to be very good to win it.

The Padres have a lot of non-utility star players and they are a one-county market, so they could probably use some more fans. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As fans, we should only care about the product on the field. This guy doesn't have the tools a Baddoo has, speed mixed with power. And he's older. I doubt he'll even make the team.

Obviously, they wouldn't just give him away, but he's not untouchable. It depends on what they get for him. He might have just had his best season - didn't look too good down the stretch.

mtutiger Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 In term of what they gave up, there's really nothing wrong with this deal. I suspect the complaints, to the extent they exist, are more about reading into what the rest of the offseason might hold. And on that front, it is pretty irrational IMO. The offseason is three days old... if this is generating anger, it's gonna be a long offseason lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more than they've played in their career. But moving him would put a huge hole in our lineup. I really don't want to see a 35 year old, weak hitting player with no power, speed or defense taking his spot. This move by the Tigers is quite puzzling. Yes, we need a RH bat but not in a player that really doesn't have any upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I kept hearing was we had months to find his replacement. And then we had Nick Maton to watch for the first part of the season. Don't blame Tiger fans for seeing the negatives in every move Harris makes. Kinda...gunshy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the same approach Harris used in his time in SF. Look for cast-offs and fringe players and hope you can find a decent one out of the bunch. Granted, Boras is Chapman’s agent, I’d still ask what it would take to get him. My expectations are low for the off season so maybe I’ll be surprised. Maybe.

Tenacious D Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 The only thing this trade satisfies is the need for a transaction. Any transaction. I’d rather Vierling gets the RH AB’s in the outfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let’s knock him for the bad system we say hes created by not trading those bad players for good players. #fanlogic And yea… ultimately Chris Ilitch is the only one he answers to.

He profiles as a guy that they could use on a few different levels (ie. another RH OF bat in a very lefty heavy outfield, gets on base, plays serviceable defense, can back up 1B), and he was obtained for a fairly small price on the third day of the offseason. Sorry, just not seeing how this generates anger other than people projecting their own ideas as to what, if anything, this means for the rest of the offseason.
