FishTacoTuesday Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I can’t wait until Urena is usurped. They don’t hit enough yet but I think the pitching is on the cusp of being very good. I’ll be watching the minor league results a little closer in May and June this year, plenty of guys that should be in the rotation this summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishTacoTuesday Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Mize looked like a vet getting out of those jams in the first and second. I think some fans are down on him but he’s just growing up in the big leagues. His stuff can be filthy, his splitter can dive away from righties and his four seam is hitting 97.

jon_mx Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) Damn, Baddoo just keeps rolling. The twinkees have to be kicking themselves. 9 for 21, 1 double, 1 triple, 4 home runs, 10 RBIs. Edited April 14 by jon_mx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he learns how to pitch instead of just throwing he will dominate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Boyd stays healthy and keeps this up into July, so he commands a haul. Don't think any of the other obvious trade candidates will net much though.

Da Guru Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) How are the prospects doing that we got in return for HOF pitcher Verlander, JD and David Price? They should be part of the core by now. Norris will be out of the league soon, Boyd is a decent 4-5 starter..and who did Tigers get for Verlander? Avila has botched the rebuild.

In 5 years he's failed to draft a legitimate positional starter and got basically nothing from any of his trades. They can't hit or score and the pitching prospects haven't developed as hoped. Not sure what the records for worst run differential and times being shut out are but pretty sure this team has a chance to break them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Encyclopedia Brown Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 This Tigers team comes to battle, and they don't quit. In today's game my heart stopped when Kimbrel grooved that fastball right down the middle to Cabrera, who was just a little late on it and hit a medium depth flyball. I know that five years ago Cabrera would have launched that pitch to the moon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishTacoTuesday Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 8 2/3 innings of Mize and Fulmer allowing one run and four hits combined.

Unless he's getting extended I think trading him at the deadline to a team in need of bullpen help makes the most sense. This team won't be competitive until after he's already gone and this is probably his peak trade value since the first window was missed.

They need a good glove veteran SS, the play there has to be the worst in baseball. Remember when we had six good SS prospects? Ugh. Castro isn’t good there either. Fulmer is ####### ridiculous. 💯 on the gun tonight. I want to see Baddoo more, hoping the bullpen can settle. Soto, Cisneros, and Fulmer sounds good when they are available, but almost everyone else is terrible. The starters have been the only consistent bright spot, which as far as the franchise goes, is key. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishTacoTuesday Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I want to see as much of Baddoo, Willi Castro, hill, Rogers, Parades, and Cameron as possible. Gotta find out who belongs Avs who does not. Baddoo is raw and can’t be sent down, so I get sitting him some when he’s slumping. The others need consistent playing time. Hill is elite defensively in CF so hopefully after he comes back he’ll continue to demonstrate better plate discipline. Same applies to Rogers really, he looks like a possible star if he can hit some more. Burrows looks decent in his debut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishTacoTuesday Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Burrows and Ramos DFA’d. I’d think Mazara would be next, he’s so bad. Ramos can still hit but he’s really bad at catcher now, really bad. Speaking of bad fielding, Tigers are -13 in defensive runs saved…at shortstop. To me the biggest organizational need is SS, and I’d pay Baez or Correa to be the next pudge. Mize is good, and he’s gonna get better. He reminds of of Aaron Nola, and let’s hope that’s his profile. As he grows as a pitcher I see him shuking hitters with his four+ pitch arsenal. Manning coming up on Thursday and a two game win streak. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodrum really should not be playing there at all. I get that he is a limited defender at SS, but his bat is such an awkward fit at 3B. With the corners set starting hopefully about a year from now I think letting Paredes take his lumps at SS to see if he is a potential answer is the right move.
