Princess Dye Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) There's no way to ascertain if a team is choking, or if they are simply in a valley since their talent is flat out not special. The game is all peaks and valleys. We were on some serious peaks early in the year. But when you have lineup holes and an aging best player, there will be a reckoning at some point.

At 100% confidence, no. For a certain level of confidence, yes. Honestly, I don't think either one of your options are correct. What we know: Paul Konerko, Adam Dunn, Alejandro De Aza, and Kevin Youkilis have injuries that are bothering them right now. Jake Peavy is almost 100 IP over anything he has thrown since 2007. Chris Sale and Jose Quintana are about 100 IP over anything that they have ever thrown in their professional careers. Jesse Crain has battled the same injury all season long, and judging by how little he has been used, might still be doing so. Nate Jones and Addison Reed are pitching the longest seasons of their professional careers. Even though the innings have been higher in the past, the appearances and the stress of those appearances is a different type of fatigue for pitchers. That is without even going into all of the rookies in the pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then reality will set in when he actually takes the mound. Guy is a 4-inning wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And next year I'll go back to hoping we rely on neither for anything. I only favored Danks because 1. He hadn't been doing too bad up to that point and I'm not even thinking of the f***ing homerun which is what everyone thought; 2. he had languished in the organization a long time and was getting his shot only to be replaced suddenly by a journeyman guy who was all of a sudden back in the organization. 3. Like you said neither is that good. The book was still out on Danks. Wise, we knew. That said, I was happy as hell to have "been wrong". Wise was unreal for awhile. Who the heck would have ever imagined DeWayne Wise would have been carrying the team for any stretch of time? That was crazy and awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shows why the Tigers aren't on the same level as the other division winners. They are a so-so team that plays in an awful division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the savings from Peavy and Youk give them the $$$?? If i'm not mistaken, didn't the Red Sox pay most of Youk's salary? So not much is coming off the books there. I wouldn't be as concerned about the $$$ as I would the years... Would the Sox be willing to sign him to the length of contract he'd want? They don't seem to like those long contracts. It sure would be nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
