shysocks Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 11:00 AM) Never would have thought a month ago that the Tigers and A's might be headed for a one-game elimination playoff. And three weeks ago, a lot of people were giving them a free ride to an ALCS clash of the titans because they acquired some pitching at the trade deadline. Baseball's weird.

caulfield12 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 17, 2014 -> 05:47 PM) Why did the Tigers trade Doug Fister for minor leaguers again? That trade still dumbfounds me Fister has given up the same number of earned runs in his last 21+ innings as Ray did in the first inning yesterday.

greg775 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I still kind of have to see it to believe it regarding the Royals actually winning the division. I guess it's possible. I can see Hosmer wrecking the chemistry when he returns and KC slumping. Will Detroit take advantage is the question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll just move Butler back to 1B and Ibanez would be more of a PH/role player. It's not like he's not ancient and hitting in the 100's. In fact, he might have more value providing veteran leadership on the bench than anything else, having gone through a number of pennant races in his career.

Butler loves playing first base and I think Hosmer might be a prima donna. No proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Aug 26, 2014 -> 03:53 PM) I wonder just how desperate Detroit is for starting pitching... Smyly has actually pitched better than Price, but that's not even the biggest problem. At any rate, they're not going to trade for Danks, even if we offered him ala Alex Rios....take the contract and he's yours. If you want to blame any individual trade, it has to be the Fister move, along with the theory that their bullpen was close to strong enough coming in the season, that CF could easily be covered without Austin Jackson's presence and that Suarez could stand up to the pressure all season, along with JD Martinez and Rajai Davis. DD bears more responsibility than Ausmus, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
