Motor City Sonics Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 The Tigers and Carlos Correa are close to finalizing an agreement, but it might be held up by Michigan State President Samuel Stanley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) I would love to get Buxton if we had the firepower to get him but only if our medical staff had confidence in him cause like Correa he has missed alot of time but unlike Correa some of his injuries worry me long term namely the concussion issue. He has missed time due to concussions and migraine headaches and that worries me but I'm not a doctor so if a Doctor checked him out and thought it wasn't something to be concerned with long term I would love to get him and sign him long term. With that said I know that it would be a pipe dream cause even if he checked out and we wanted to I don't think we have the ammunition unless we were willing to part with Tork or Greene and more and I don't see that happening.

Most people try to avoid making announcements during thanksgiving week cause few people are paying attention to news. In this case, its often hunting week. If you are holding the PC to drive up support, i.e. season tickets, but people are out doing other things, the likley hood of them being acitng on emotion dwindles.

Verlander didn't listen, Kate will dump him momentarily." - AJ Hinch at brunch with Carlos Correa. “Carlos, if the Tigers’ organization does a good job, we’re going to reestablish ourselves as a winning franchise and develop a winning culture. If you want to be a part of it, then you’ll come. If you don’t, then we’ll beat you.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Plot twist, Dusty is quietly going to ride off into the sunset and only told his team about it so Correa is actually recruiting Hinch to come back to Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Since I just posted that horrific post lets make it up for a positive one. Once we sign Correa and when Tork and Riley put up ROY type seasons this is what our lineup could look like next year. Greene Correa Candy Tork Miggy Schoop Grossman Barnhart Baddoo/Hill/Reyes/Cameron That's a pretty damn good looking lineup, especially if Miggy hits like he did towards the end of the year and Baddoo turns out not to be a fluke.

I was thinking about a lineup this morning, specifically with respect to Correa. It is a credit to the depth of Houston's lineup, but it seems crazy to look at Correa's history and note that he's batted 5th/6th in the lineup more than higher lineup in recent seasons. And I'm with you, I would bet Greene & Torkelson are making the team out of camp. It'll be interesting to see how Hinch & Co incorporate them into the lineup once they do make their debuts. Will he throw them into the fire or will he slot them so as not to put too much pressure on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meeting the requisite money/years is always gonna be the biggest factor in his decision, but I still think one thing that Detroit gives him that he didn't have in Houston (and wouldn't have most other places) is the chance to be *the* guy. Like, he'll probably be batting somewhere in the 2-4 slot and, at least for the first couple of years, he'd get to be the face of the franchise. That may or my not matter much, but it seems like a nice benefit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 They're doing the tree lighting tonight down in Campus Martius so there should be quite a bit of people downtown, perfect time to announce the signings and to open up the box offices! Plus Pistons are playing the Warriors at LCA so there should be a good crowd down there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
