We were on the same team at Cubs camp in 2020 (just before COVID hit), which Scott had gifted him the prior Christmas. We had a couple of conversations at length and one morning at breakfast he showed me Scott's 2016 Cubs ring, which he'd brought to camp with him. Talk about super impressive. I just dropped him a mazel tov in the email. He's probably got hundreds of people doing the same with him, so who knows if I hear back. But whether he does or doesn't, he's a really good guy, and I'm really happy for him. Expand Got my reply from Scott's dad. We got a date once the ring is here. 3 1 Quote

RatkoVarda Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 I hope someone asks him directly about cutting Miggy Quote

Mr.TaterSalad Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 97.1 the Ticket is carrying the Scott Harris press conference live and then he'll be on with Mike Valenti later on today (so says Valenti) if anyone cares. Quote

oblong Posted September 20, 2022 Author Posted September 20, 2022 Mike Stone asks about Miggy's contract. Harris basically says it's a fair question but he needs to look at things and talk to Miggy and evaluate the system as a whole as right now it's "The Giants impression of the Tigers farm system" Quote
mtutiger Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 The proof is gonna be in the results, but first impressions are that he nailed the press conference Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 I thought the press conference was encouraging. It sounds like we have a capable person running the show here. In particular I was pleased to hear him talking about building this franchises own identity and not trying to just copycat what someone else is doing. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 From what the peeps on Twitter are saying it sounds like Harris nailed the press conference. Quote
Edman85 Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 Observations from the presser... Illitch's statement on Harris being innovative and not chasing what others are doing seemed, umm... pointed. Illitch also mentioned the people who helped. There are currently five VP's or AGM's on staff. Four were named. David Chadd wasn't. 1 Quote
oblong Posted September 20, 2022 Author Posted September 20, 2022 I’m not big on buzzwords but I liked hearing the word innovation a lot. i give the Ilitch family shit but their food empire is known for innovation. Quote
RatkoVarda Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 well, it is too much to ask that Miggy is shown the door, but at least Harris addressed it the best he could taking calculated risks? Yes, please. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Regarding Yzerman being named in the presser, going by Beck it sounds like him and Harris were acquaintances after meeting at Wrigley a few years back so perhaps Steve's role was to put in a good word about Chris/Ilitches and the city of Detroit and their fanbase in general.
