caulfield12 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Time to go over Richie Weeks...we can stick him in CF or LF for the rest of the season and mix him in at 2B and DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Good, especially Braun. The way he got out of his suspension last time was complete BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Wonder if Gio Gonzalez got pinched. edit: TJ Quinn says he's unlikely to be suspended. Edited June 5, 2013 by flavum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 It's pretty funny that Braun got off on a technicality and went right back to the juice. He really must think he is bulletproof Have to wonder if this is the end of the road for ARod. A 100 game suspension would make him almost 39 when he came back, no? I don't imagine his suspension would run concurrent with his time on the DL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) YANKEES have to be VERY CLOSELY looking at ways out of that contract...surely, it will be settled in a courtroom. At the very least, not paying him for those days under suspension. Edited June 5, 2013 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't imagine his suspension would run concurrent with his time on the DL I bet they would let A-Rods DL time count. They let Manny Ramirez's "retirement" time count even though it technically shouldn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Well that explains how Peralta had that turnaround year last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 This sets up some VERY interesting possibilities. Reed or Ramirez to the Tigers.... Rios to the Rangers... Not saying either one would happen. I don't know Detroit's system so well after the top guys, one would assume Ramon Santiago would be playing there in the short-term until they found a better solution.

zenryan Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 While I think Braun getting off on a technicality is pretty weak last time around, I dont know if I agree with MLB deciding to ignore write the rules as they go and skip over the 50 game suspension and go straight to the 100 game suspension.

And hitting .338 as of this moment. Made a huge difference in the Tigers winning the division last year, as Avila's bat went south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it WILL happen...but this is Hahn (theoretically), not KW. If KW was still calling the shots, no way in hell he would concede anything to the Tigers like the Twins did by trading Delmon Young to them.
