fathom Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 12:26 AM) BTW, Fielder hit .370 in August. Cabrera and Prince with insane OPS numbers since the ASB. Looking at all the numbers for the Tigers, it makes no sense why they haven't run away with things since the ASB. Gotta be their defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 08:26 PM) If you're using "why didn't we get Bedard" as something to complain about as a failure of the GM, then yeah, I'm going to criticize. Maybe, maybe, maybe he'd be better in a spot start...but at the very best it's another crapshoot. Oh, and Bedard's ERA since June 1 is 6.35.

Caesar Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 07:26 PM) You didn't include Beckham, who's the worst of the bunch. I really hope ADA comes back and provides a spark and Ventura uses Wise to break up the 7-8-9 righty combo Not sure how I missed than bum. He's the worst of the bunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about adding depth, as it's easy to envision a situation where they might need Humber to start a game down the stretch as things currently are constructed.

Maybe, maybe, maybe he'd be better in a spot start...but at the very best it's another crapshoot. We would have been better off just keeping Guthrie off the Royals. Well, at least he was part of a win against the Tigers too, unfortunately it wasn't pitching for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 07:28 PM) Rios is batting .300 vs righties. We don't need power from Lexei. He's on an 11 game hit streak as well I think. I meant left fielder. As yes we need power from Lexi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And adding Bedard would leave it...exactly as easy to envision a situation where Humber would get a spot start. Except we'd also have to come up with another 40 man spot.

fathom Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 If you're going to swing at the first pitch, try to at least do some damage. Weak swing when you consider Alexei has no opposite field power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
