    Get me outta here.

    Theo worked for the Tigers?

    I didn't care about the drop in performance part of your original argument. You asked me about it and I followed up. Seems dumb that they dumped him right as there was a quick downturn. Payroll ranking by year: 15: 6 16: 4 17: 5 18: 16 19: 22 They haven't been a top half of the league in payroll since getting out from under the contracts that were from DD/Illich Sr.

    You're not really getting out of it if you're paying towards the contract in 2020.
  5. mvp 78
    Nope.

    Prince Fielder

    Wow, DD had taken over a Tigers team that was below .500 for 8 straight seasons. It took them 9 years to get back to the playoffs after firing DD. Yuck. DD had 8 seasons above .500. If you exclude the DD years, you have to go back to 1986 to total 8 seasons above .500. Double Yuck. DD is the best thing to happen to that franchise since the 1980's.

    DD had a trade package in hand and decided not to go through with it.
  9. mvp 78
    They were able to. They didn't want to.

    Is Marte in the Freeman/Altuve/Springer tier of players? Yes. Ok, then me saying 3-4 decent seasons isn't out of the realm of possibility. ⚖️
  11. mvp 78
    I will be unable to watch tonight so anything is possible.

    For a guy that intentionally crosses up his catcher, it makes perfect sense that he's throwing at a batter to get out of the game.

    I think most Sox fans look over the past 7 seasons and think "it would have been more fun to at least have had Mookie around for this." Giving up on HOF talent in the prime of their career is a very bad look that was near impossible to sell to the fanbase. I'd say the fanbase hasn't recovered from that one decision.
  14. mvp 78
    Some of the DET financial commitments were foisted on him by ownership. Hard to put that on DD.
  15. mvp 78
    Henry wanted Mookie traded. Dombo politely declined, smartly. Henry fired Dombo. End scene.

    They used to be at the top of the mountain in terms of spending. Now they are not. It's fine if people still complain over a lack of spending. Sox are 3rd in revenue. Why not 3rd in spending?

    DRS over a small sample size is very unreliable.

    Flaherty last 3 starts: 9 IP, 10 ER, 4 HR, 13 H, 11 BB, 11 K, 2.67 WHIP, 10.00 ERA
  19. mvp 78
    The only people who didn't are (a) the Tigers announcers and (b) notin.
  20. mvp 78
    Yeah, he just gave up 10 runs. Had nothing left in the tank (effort wise). Gave up two bombs. He wanted out of there. Who is saying that's coincidental??? He stunk and wanted out of the game.
  21. mvp 78
    His metrics at 3b have been good so far.
  22. mvp 78
    That's ACTIVE roster which excludes players on the injured list (Crochet, Gray, Sandoval, etc).
  23. mvp 78
    DHam was fine as a platoon 2b who hits 8th/9th. They weren't really willing to try him out as a UTIL guy, MIL is.

    My only quibble is giving Wong and Mayer the same grade. Wong has really exceeded expectations, hit better than Mayer and in half the time on the field generated almost the same fWAR as Mayer. Wong was terrible last season and many thought he might not make the cut in ST. He's been great so far. There's a lot of regression coming for him, but enjoy it while the balls are falling in for him.
