The only World Series I've ever been to is Game 3 in '84. The Tigers won in a blowout, tons of walks, but one memorable play - great catch by Lemon in the 7th inning I believe.

A darn good CF for being a converted 3B. Another thing about Lemon, he led the league in HBP for 4 out of 5 consecutive seasons. And another thing…… happy 67th birthday, Chet.

His is one of those voices that is imprinted in my brain such that I can replay it pretty faithfully. "If you didn't enjoy the game then I certainly hope you enjoyed the broadcast."

buddha Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 pecota tiger numbers are.....not good. PECOTA is not a huge fan of Javier Baez. The system projects the shortstop to contribute just 1.4 wins above replacement (WARP) with a .229 batting average, .685 OPS and 82 DRC+.

I think most systems have them under .500. The Tigers are counting on a lot of young players and young players don't usually have good projections.

I don't see the pitching being bad unless the kids get hurt, which is always possible. I don't think Mize, Skubal or even Manning were getting by with smoke and mirrors and are prime candidates to turn into pumpkins. They've shown what they can do against ML hitters. If anything projections that like Tork/Greene or any other hitter that hasn't done it against MLB pitching would be where I could see the big misses. My rule of hitters is that their plateaus are pretty much invisible until they actual hit them, which can be at any level step. As they say - previous results do not insure future performance.

Tiger337 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I can definitely see the pitching being bad. They have one pitcher in their roation that has ever pitched over 160 innings and he has done it only once. I can also see them being good if the young pitchers emerge quickly and stay healthy. It's a big question mark though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eduardo has done it a couple times now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both cutoffs tell the same story, that is, their pitchers have very little experience pitching a full season of innings. I could have used 162 since 162 innings is what a pitcher needs to qualify for the ERA title. Another number I could have chosen was 165 which would say that a pitcher had 33 starts (a full season) averaging five innings per start.

That's why I asked why what appeared to be a random 160. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Nats offered Soto 13/350 and he turned it down. Assuming salaries don't take a drastic change for the worse in the coming years I think that was a wise decision. He hits the open market in 3 years at just 26 years old and I think he should easily clear 10/350 just in those years when he does.

I get it, these guys are different etc, but I am not sure I could turn that much money down...putting in perspective If I currently make an average salary in the USA of around 53,000.00 the equivalent of min salary in the MLB 570,500.00 and someone offered me 2,500,000.00 a year raise......even if I thought I could hold out for 3,250,000.00 as long as my production does not decrease....that would just be hard to turn down.
