Tigers release Alex Gonzalez

 

Nice trade Dave, that wasn't an overreaction at all.

Of course they do

 

Can't wait for him to go 3-4 with a run saving catch.

Lombardozi's also doing well with the Orioles. Dombrowski's made some awful trades this past off-season.

Not to mention Iglesias.

 

The Fister one was really dumb, IMO.

 

He should have done a much better job fixing/improving that bullpen.

 

 

 

I heard Fuld will change his jersey name to Lew Ford when he plays against the Sox.

ehhhh .276/.288/.310/.598

Its still early in the season, but its nice to see the Central all competitive in the standings

 

Also, Kurt freaking Suzuki has 17 RBI and Brian Dozier has 22 runs scored :wacko:

He's now hitting .318.

 

I think I saw he was hitting .298 a few days ago and assumed he'd have an OPS near .750. I guess he's hitting nothing but singles.

DETROIT TIGERS: Placed pitcher Anibal Sanchez on the 15-day disabled list; recalled pitcher Justin Miller from Toledo (IL).

Jason Kipnis and Bruce Chen having issues. Both may end up on the DL, if that makes you feel better.

This Detroit domination thing is growing old. Are they going to win our division 18 years in a row or whatever the Braves did to their division in that one streak? It's really disgusting a city like fricking Detroit has built a team good enough to win this thing year after year.

They are already six in the loss column ahead of the Sox with a very flawed team, which is not good. It's about over, in fact, where everybody will be rooting for our draft pick again.Six in the loss column is getting up there.

No. Next year it gets a whole lot tougher for them. The contracts are just piling up and they're starting to lose people because of it.

 

They're a step back this year still and people might have had a shot at them if there was a competitive team in the division. They're in a lucky place where their competitors are all weak. That won't last forever.

It's a rebuilding year, Greg. Interminable sky-is-falling posts really aren't necessary. Detroit ain't all that - we just faced their two aces. The Tigers have played less games than anybody, 6 less than us, and their also-not-deep pitching staff won't be helped by the total lack of off days they'll be dealing with later in the year.

 

The goal this year is for mgmt. to be convinced that we're close enough to go for it again heading into next year. I If we happen to be competing in July, things could change, but there won't be any mid-season overpays just to compete this year. And we're not out-of anything at 14-15. Relax, dude.

Plus their core is really starting to age in terms of age, and in terms of baseball played. Eventually, that is going to catch up to them.

Imagine if they weren't able to trade Fielder, they would be in even worse shape.

They're still paying for him.

$76 million to be exact.

The Indians have placed Jason Kipnis on the 15-day DL, and he could be out for a month. http://sbn.to/1rY8i8A

 

He's afraid of Chris Sale's slider. Too bad he forgot Chris Sale is on the disemboweled list.

Brian Dozier now with 8 homers.

 

Would have thought it was possibly from Plouffe, but Dozier's really looking like an Uggla in the making.

Uggla is a good comp. Dozier is equally brutal in the field.
