GRITTY GAMER I really like him. No way I trade him. Gritty is the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But keep Avila allstars like Skubal, Greene, Carpenter, Keith and Meadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the eeny-meeny-miney-moe picks that Harris figured out could be saved. (Outside of Riley, of course. Everyone would have picked him at #5.)

It's just amusing that you can't seem to make a post about future plans with bashing Avila. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Avila were here today—which he might still be had Reinsdorf hired Hinch instead of LaRussa—I'm sure we'd've lost close to 100 again this season. It's just amusing you can't talk about the Tigers' success without giving him the credit for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just amusing you can't talk about the Tigers' success without giving him the credit for it. It seems like most of their best players such as Skubal, Carpenter, Geene, Keith, Meadows were developing just fine when Avila's team was here. Others like Torkelson, Manning and Mize were not and they have continued to not develop under the Harris regime. Two other very important pieces - Hinch and Fetter were also acquired by Avila. I know you have some kind of theory where he was ordered to hire then, but the fact is he did hire them. I believe Harris will do better than Avila in the long run, but I am not seeing where this current team was put together entirely by Harris with no help from Avila.

chasfh Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Good thing players had opportunities outside the system to go develop themselves so they could save their one and only career chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
