RandyMarsh Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 We're only a few weeks away from spring training which means the fluff pieces will be starting shortly, my prediction is Tork either gets the first one or will have the most. It will be written that he corrected whatever was wrong with him and is barreling up and driving balls like he did in college and early in the minors. Quote
Tiger337 Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Miguel Cabrera is in the best shape of his life. There is a different feeling in the clubhouse this year. There is a chemistry that wasn't there last year. Quote

oblong Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 I had the chance last week to attend an event at the Ilitch casino with some Tigers, probably like a scaled back Tigerfest which they quit doing I guess. I didn't go. But I saw photos of some players on a stage wearing the jerseys and it hit home how awful the still new home jerseys are.... the nike loo looks larger now and to me it makes the "hat" version of the Olde English D stand out. Just looked cheap. Quote

Then again, Price at least speaks in complete sentences ecapsulating discrete concepts, which puts him in a league beyond what Matt Shepherd achieves on any regular basis.

casimir Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Scott Rolen is now Hall of Famer Scott Rolen. Edited January 24, 2023 by casimir Quote

Scott Rolen was a very good player in his prime, but I am kind of surprised that he got in. Lots of gold gloves and silver sluggers, and he's certainly more deserving than Baines or Morris, but although he hung on until age 37 he didn't accomplish much after his age 31 season, so his counting stats aren't that impressive. I think I like Whitaker's career better. Quote

I think I like Whitaker's career better. I think Rolen and Whitaker are pretty similar. Very good for a long time, but never superstars. Rolen did have 9.2 WAR in 2004, but it was driven, in part, by a huge defensive year which may have been a fluke. I am also surprised he got in, because he is not the type of player the BBWAA usually notices. 1 Quote
