I hear what you're saying, but the Tigers are nearly elite judges of offensive talent.

 

They called Victor Martinez right, twice. Have stuck with Castellanos when he seemed like a bust. Identified JD Martinez. Identified Kinsler as a veteran who would still be an impact player. (Granted, Justin Upton, for the moment, looks like a huge debacle but he's been hitting much better recently.)

 

If they really saw something in him, anything like future Miggy Cabrera levels of production, there's no way they would have included him in that package for Jake Peavy.

He was banging Prince Fielders wife IIRC that's why they moved Avi.

I still think if they believed he was going to put up six .280/30/100 seasons they would have kept him...and dealt Fielder instead, which they obviously ended up doing later.

Yea the Tigers position player scouting is really good. Iglesias has had his ups and downs but he's probably the best player from that trade.

Between Kendrick, Kiki Hernandez, Van Slyke, Puig, Pederson, Thompson, Venable and Andre Ethier, the Dodgers are going to have to trade one of those guys eventually. They've already released Guerrero.

 

Just sayin'. KW has always loved Kendrick.

 

 

 

Sale 17th and Q 24th in MLB ERA now. Great, jinx.

 

Kluber has a no-hitter through 5 in Atlanta.

Yeah, he, Addison Russell and Semien are all profiling similarly in terms of WAR, but all have vastly different ways of getting there.

 

If he were on the White Sox, Anderson would have been moved to 2B or CF.

I'd love Puig or Pederson, but I doubt KW will man up and get one of them

Q gets ahead 0-2 then nibbles away until he throws a fastball right down the middle.

 

Just stop nibbling damn it.

 

Fear of making a mistake, no run support (until last time out)...bad combination.

 

Gonzalez and Shields are nibbling too, but that's due to lack of trust in their stuff.

Internet legend.

Maybe but an older ex-Tiger was on a radio station talking about it after the trade and hinted at Avi. So there's that. Wouldn't be the first time something like that's happened in a clubhouse/lockeroom

Frazier needs the all star break to reset. He's hit HRs and drove in runs but he needs to start getting XBHs

 

About the only thing he's doing in terms of hitting is grabbing HRs. He needs to do more, period.
