Detroit Tigers

[froot loops]

One way Avila is much worse that Radar was, he is no good at finding useful players like Radar did with Craig Monroe and Marcus Thames. Those guys were useful players that were everyday players on the 2006 team. One was a waiver wire pickup and a minor league free agent.

The focus on 1st round picks is emphasized too much, even if you hit on your 1st rounders you need a lot more. The Tigers actually hit on a lot of first rounders in DDs first decade but they would have been cellar dwellers if they didn't do everything else.

And one of the big prospects that came over in the Verlander trade has been put onto unconditional release waivers.

Can we all finally admit the Tigers got fleeced and should never have made that trade?

[The King]

Tough luck on Perez, but pitchers get hurt. It's part of the attrition of the position. We also have Faedo and Wentz recovering from TJ. Meanwhile, the guy everyone is up in arms about trading his $25 million per contract (Verlander) is also out with TJ.

Goldstein used to work with HOU. Now he's at Fangraphs.

......

Pat: Franklin Perez- Was there anything that Houston saw that indicated he may become so injury prone, so it made it easier to part with him in the JV trade? Sadly, it looks like he may never be what he was back in 2017.

1:43	Kevin Goldstein: Not at all. I thought he was the best player heading to Detroit in the deal and I was really rooting for him. Great kid.

[The King]

Two top ten pitching prospects in this year's draft are out with TJ. Hill from LSU and Hoglund from Ole Miss. You wonder if either guy would be a target for the Tigers in the 2nd or with their comp pick.

It funny how Tommy John surgery used to be the end of a career, now players are actually coming back from it in decent numbers.

Verlander is throwing from 90 feet now.

Amazing thing on Perez is that despite all the injuries this is still only his age 23 season.

If you mean Avila since he has been GM then the list is much shorter

Spencer Turnbull with a no hitter! Great job young man!

[foxhopper]

Hey at least there will be one memorable moment in 2021!

[froot loops]

Hey they got it down to 10 games under .500. Still bad but not 2003 bad, let's hope the last two weeks are more indicative of the team than the first 3 weeks.

I was sleeping but my husband woke me up afterwards. He watched it and was really excited about it. Mize also had a strong game the night before.

Did you watch?
