If we look at the list that chasfh posted at the end of the year, the ranks will probably be almost randomly shuffled. You would probably do just as well predicting 3.5 WAR for each team. yeah - all we can really say is that at least they do have a lot of arms available with reasonable potential so they've helped their odds to that degree, but we've all seen even large numbers of potential fillers all fail in the same year.

Is this based off any particular article? All the buzz I've seen has been either right or left coast for Suzuki Quote
CMRivdogs Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 Looks like the mound move and Robo Umps experiments are over for now Quote
Tiger337 Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 The gamblers don't want the robo umps for obvious reasons. 😄 Quote

RandyMarsh Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 FYI Djokovic had his visa revoked again and is about to be deported and miss the Australian Open. Can't say I ever expected to post that in a Tigers offseason thread but as we all know these threads can take mysterious turns out of nowhere. Quote

We can also dream about Scott Coolbaugh unlocking Miguel Cabrera's youth and helping Miggy deliver a 30/100/.300 season for one last hurrah. I dream of trading Funhouser while he’s come off of a decent season. Quote
Dan Gilmore Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 Here’s hoping Biggs doesn’t have your home address. 😎 Quote
RandyMarsh Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 Henning says the Tigers are going to sign 2 international SS. Can't remember the names but they are 16 and 17 years old from Venezuela. The 16 year old is ranked 10th by BA among international FAs and the 17 year old 21st. Quote

Livonia and Northville and the "I-275 corridor" have a significant Japanese presence. Its not nearly as big a deal as the Polish in Hamtramck used to be but it is there. Probably, there are more Indian born than Japanese actually but the Japanese/auto industry interaction is real. 1 Quote

RandyMarsh Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 Correa just switched agents to our old buddy Scott Boras. Quote

Would tend to argue he has been unhappy with the offers he had received. Water under the bridge at this point but still, wouldn't it be funny if the Tigers' actaully had been the best offer he got before the lockout? Quote
