All i want is to never have to watch another reylo start. Toss flores out there.

I think the issue has been how overworked theyve been lately. Jimmy biceps cant pitch every freaking game. Bummer and now fry getting hurt puts too much pressure on detwiler too. Heuer and foster are young and some regression can be expected with them.

Havent you heard? vaughn is taking reps in right field. Hes going to replace nomar

Why cant we have both? Get rid of encarnacion and rotate them between 1b and dh. Easy enough to get them both 100 games doing that.

And in the last week his wRC is 92. He had a one week stretch from the 22nd to 29th in which he had decent results, however even during that stretch his average exit velo was a paltry 85mph. id chalk up any recent success hes had to a bit of luck. His peripherals still suck

The guy has been an absolute black hole on offense this year. His chase rate is way up and his zone contact rate is way down over his career numbers. His hard hit percentage is also one of the worst in the league. Real good combination of peripherals for a middle of the order bat right there. The book is also out on him that he can no longer pick up a slider, where he once hit mid .200s against sliders (with a respectable ops as well), he is hitting a really impressive .100 this year (also down from last year where he hit .180) against them. His k rate is an astounding 45% against the pitch (again compared to low 20% a cpl years back). Teams now realize this and hes seeing Over 10% more sliders than he was in his heyday with the jays. Combine this with the fact he can no longer get around on fastballs, and its clear in my mind hes done as a major league player. Yet rickey continues to hit him 4th - 6th in the lineup. Does he really expect edwin to turn it around? Is he really going to kill us in the postseason by continuing to bat him in the middle of the order? Yolmer would be a better DH than Edwin at this point.

Thats how you run the bases nicky. Learn from tim

Its pretty much a useless pitch when hes pitching behind in the count all the time

Got to be able to locate the fastball. Major league hitters can hit a 98mph fastball thrown over the heart of the plate a long way. His slider is also very inconsistent. For every good one he threw, he threw about 3 that didnt break at all.

Best seed will be whoever gets the blue jays or yankees in the first round

What position players do the tigers have as top prospects besides torkelson and greene? Planning a rebuild around pitching prospects is dangerous given their much higher bust rates than position players. I think their best case scenario is being the mets of the mid 2010s. A couple good years, but an offense that was so inconsistent to below average they never had sustained success.

Bieber pretty much has the cy young award locked up

Stroman worries me given his build for holding up long term, and on top of that taking the year off. Im all in on bauer, but if he goes elsewhere, i like Q as a backup plan. Worst case scenario, Q is a 4th starter

He’ll win a gold glove this year. Im def taking the over. Ill take the under on mvps thinking he’ll just get one. Griffey jr only got 1. Its hard to get multiple mvp awards

Probably toronto. Just not as impressed with them. After them, ny. Id toss out cease against cole and lose the first game and then take our chances with their three lefty starters against giolito, keuchel, and dunning.

Timmy is the heart and soul of this team. Hopefully he’ll stop being so criminally underrated after this season

Red faber missed the postseason and much of the second half of 1919, along with having one of his worst years because of the spanish flu. The best thing for moncada right now would be to rest. Shut him down for the rest of the year and let yolmer take his place. Not much difference between the two of them offensively at the moment

Fangraphs and mayo hedge their grades a lot more than BA does

Robert is only going to get better

Oh my god

Plus it gets yolmer more reps

Should just throw codi back out there for the 9th

Hes got the biceps to handle it

So was eloy

Needed that quick inning to let him get to the 6th
