What about Kreidler?

Every hall of fame player was a rookie at one time or another.

Add me to the believe it won't happen list.  I don't think the Tigers are willing to commit to a deal like that yet.  They have a history of big deals not panning out so I think they are more likely to sign a guy like A. Simmons for a year than do a big long term deal. That's my two cents and now they might sign Correa tomorrow???

Expand  

There is less of a history of decent players signing one year deals, especially with us. But, sure lets go with that one.

is it domed?

Expand  

Not domed.  And the shelves are too far away from the customers.

[Tiger337]

Anyway, my feeling about Kreidler is:

(1) I don't expect a lot from him.

(2) He is worth keeping an eye on.

(3) He shouldn't impact their winter shopping.

The thing that I like about the Tigers' 2022 Opening Day shortstop is that no matter who it is, someone in here is going to be angar about it.

Agreed. If we spend big on a SS and Kriedler ends up being a legit prospect well then we just got another asset to work with whether it be as a trade chip or possibly a move to 2b.

On the other hand if we pass on the SS class this year and put our faith in Kriedler we are back to square one if/when he flames out.

People would complain if they got Honus Wagner.  If Avila signs a bowlegged shortstop to a 10 year deal, I'm done with this team.

To be fair, Honus is at the stage of his career where the skills are starting to fade.

I don't mind Baez.  If those other 3 guys don't want to come here, he's a heck of a lot better than the Castros and Niko and Short.  He would represent a team improvement power, speed, and defense.

Expand  

Plus. imagine how much fun it would be to have both Baez and Baddoo on the team at the same time. That would be magic.

Sure, but he'd still be better than Goodrum and the Castros.

Well, he won with the Cubs. So yeah, I guess it's just me who doesn't like the bat flips and other flamboyant antics.

See - look what Kreidler has already done for you - imagine what he can do for the Tigers!

Hinch and Fetter throwing down the gauntlet! I love it!

No AJ and so much for my Cora pick.

If a clubhouse needs to be controlled, Hinch has already proven that he can't do it.  But I haven't heard anything to suggest that Baez would hurt "clubhouse chemistry".  Correa, on the other hand, was in that Astros clubhouse that defied Hinch and cost him his job.

Expand  

You make a very interesting point. Everybody assumes Carlos Correa wants to come to Detroit because of our manager but is it possible our manager does not want him at all because he did undermine him before in Houston.

Sure, Hinch might not want reunited with Correa. The feelings could be mutual.  Ilitch/Avila might not want that that possibility of a distraction even if Correa/Hinch are kosher.  Maybe they’re all good with it.  Maybe the Tigers want to go with another SS for whatever reason.

And along those lines, the assumption of Verlander “coming home” might not work out as some folks have assumed.

Mariners have signed Corey Seager to an 8 year, 730 million dollar deal.
