    I read that statement as because the Tigers can get the Comp pick they can ask for more in trade.

    I guess I am a bit in the middle on this, just tracking WAR does not account for the value of higher WAR single seasons, but as we are now witnessing there is definite value having positive contributors and not complete zeros. If SS and 3B were giving us 2 WAR seasons each right now that would help a lot. So I'm willing to say that someone can look at what we have gotten so far in the Burnes trade and be underwhelmed as a very defensible position. But I don't think Hall or Ortiz would need to be All-stars in the future to make the trade a wash.

    Any sense of how much longer they are going to let Pena crush the ACL before ending his rehab stint?

    I'm torn on Frelick, he does have enough of a track record that you don't just want to cut him loose, and despite not a ton of power it seemed like he used to contribute in a variety of ways. But there have also been a couple of years worth of articles even while he was producing arguing that his profile might not really be all that sustainable...

    I don't think anybody would have been surprised to see him be really good but struggle enough with command for a few years. Getting that walk rate under 3 per 9 innings to me is just as impressive as the ability to keep pumping 100+ MPH pitches. There is no question his ability to throw that hard for that long into games is unique. I just wish we had enough data going back to Nolan Ryan to see what the career record for total 100+ mph pitches thrown is (I assume he would own that title, but maybe Johnson would have it instead, I don't think Clemens hit 100 all that often)

    I'd consider some level of dealing for the right player, but even with our depth of prospects I'm cautious because the impact of 1 player on our playoff chances is just so modest. Skubal certainly would look terrifying for opposing teams to go with Miz and Harrison at the moment, but in any year they could get hurt in August, Spet, or October spoiling that strategy. Our even other major position players. LA has built up there own self insured type model where they will just use money to make up for any issues that crop up, so there is so much less risk there compared to us.

    12Ks less than 100 pitches and 7 innings is super impressive. As you said if he can start mixing in more weak contact quick outs and complete game no hitter is not out of the question.
  8. igor67
    I thought it was 4 runs for a 2 inning save, and protecting any size lead for 3 or more innings

    Sanchez may just be in a funk, and I think Quero still benefits from regular work to see how well he can get his throwing arm. Back-up catcher mid year is also a bit tricky for learning the different pitchers. I'm on record as thinking there is no need for a mop-up duty guy at all, we have plenty of options that can give some length, so just add another one of those options and give all of them a mix of longer outings and 1 inning stints to stay fresh. I bet in the long run that makes it easier to cover more innings from the pen and also prevents the couple of top guys running out of gas in August issue. As far as Super 2 and Williams I give that a week or,so but we have an important series with the Cards this week. And it's also worth acknowledging that since the CBA is up there is no guarantee that I am aware of that Super 2 will work the same way in the future.

    Ashby for the win today...

    I suspect moreso than we are used to having a place for guys to be promoted becomes a factor with the depth of the system. On the low end waiting for the draft and that influx of players also plays a role I would imagine. In the past the team has talked about making sure guys are ready in a way that suggests they are probably looking at other things in some fashion as well like maturity perhaps and certainly aspects of defense. The way so many young players seem to fit in once they are on the MLB team suggests they are doing something about teaching how to be part of the clubhouse.
  12. igor67
    With Hall, Patrick, Ashby, and Drohan already the team we don't need a traditional sacrificial long reliever, just someone else you can plug in a little more regularly and get a solid inning out of so they don't go too long in between appearances. Gasser might actually be that guy and have Crow starting.
  13. igor67
    He's been all over the place since that throw to first
  14. igor67
    The speed of Vaughn forcing an error!
  15. igor67
    I'm just excited I fixed my antenna finally today, so I can watch it on Fox.
  16. igor67
    Alright from Gasser, but definitely a fair number of wasted pitches
  17. igor67
    I watched the condensed game this morning and thought it was noteworthy that one of the Dodger announcers was speculating how much longer Rengifo would be part of the Brewers after that defensive showing.
  18. igor67
    61 pitches is a lot
  19. igor67
    Title need an edit, unless Harrison has recently discovered Nolan Ryan is a long lost uncle
  20. igor67
    I'm thinking they are hoping someone between Rengifo, Ortiz, and Hamilton provides enough offense to be a solid option for ABs on the left side of the IF and then Williams can still be a primary 3rd base but also slide into the OF from time to time and bump Perkins. I think Lara getting promoted this year requires Garret to not be viable. That said if he keeps hitting with his defense it becomes difficult to not try and put your best players on the field this year
  21. igor67
    I would guess they would try and stagger any promotions for a variety of reasons, for example if you promote Williams, you still have Pratt available if for some reason Jett really struggles. I suspect Ortiz finds a way to stick around because of the glove even if that seems redundant with Pratts skill set.
  22. igor67
    I'm all for improving, but I feel like our next most likely peak is yet to come with so many guys coming up at our weaker positions.
  23. igor67
    Woody is a solid data point for what a typical pitching career looks like anymore. I'd be willing to explore something with Harrison because with him having a bit more experience you might have a better sense of what he can handle as a workload. And maybe if you run the numbers because it took him awhile to have success he might find a price point where he'll take some more money now, buyout maybe 1 FA year and get some solid certainty, while still having a chance to sign a big contract later if things go well.
  24. igor67
    Only had 3 games so far this month where the pitching allowed 4 or more runs. You can win a lot of games that way.
  25. igor67
    I'm still trying to decide which was more fun to watch Hamilton's Little League HR, or the Prince Fielder inside the park HR at the Metrodome. I think Fielder wins by a nose but mostly because I was at that game in person.
