Detroit Tigers Thread: Bust City

Anyone know where our future busts rank on this list? I guess we have 5 in top 100

 

Hey Vinegar, the guys in the top 100 are as follows:


5. Jobe
25. Clark
26. McGonigle
67. Jung
90. Hamm

meanwhile, guys that smarter than you Harris passed on in the draft last year: Jenkins is #6, and Wyatt Langford would have 2nd highest OPS on the team.

enjoy your 4th

 

You forgot to switch to your alt account smeegsgreen

 

FUCK

 

smeegsgreen is somehow even dumber than vin tho

 

Kenta Maeda sucks sooo bad

 

Woof

 

Our payroll is 117 million. That is 4th lowest in mlb.

According to sportac 9 million of that is retained salary from Miggy and ERod contracts.

Another 61.5 mil of that is used on a terrible SS that should be cut, a SP who should be DFA, a OF/1B with a sub .670 ops and hitting under .200 for the last month+, a backup catcher and two BP arms that have 4+ eras.

That's 70 mil of our already terribly low 117 mil salary going to pieces that aren't helping and in a lot of cases hurting the team. That figure is going to be even more distorted when we trade Flaherty.

 

Harris fucking sucks dude. Flasher try is injured so we likely won’t get jack shit for him.

 

I wonder if he got the gig because he agreed to Illitch’s condition of not spending. One President of Baseball Ops contract and he’s prob set for life.

 

the money he has spent has been a disaster. Canna, Urshela, and Maeda all blow

 

This is both very well written and an A-Bomb of a paragraph to drop on an old pitcher.

 

Crazy he's probably only our like 3rd worst contract

 

he had a hit today

 

Not that crazy when you only have 3 players signed to guaranteed contracts beyond this season (not counting Mize's team option we won't pick up at this point).

 

do you think it’s possible Maeda may just be tired?

 

Colt Keith

 

Reese is dealing tonight. That’s a legit #thanksAvila for shipping out van man for Reese

 

Vinegar Strokes is Baez back?

 

What, exactly, does our coaching staff do?

 

He's not the first to complain about our hitting coaches. Gotta think they are partly to blame. Lack of talent is biggest issue, but it's amazing how everyone can't hit when they get here

 

Guy was saying same stuff about Cale Iorg

 

Man, was I ever excited about Cale Iorg being the future at SS.

 

Doubt Harris does anything, but he’s better than Urshella

 

Vinegar Strokes Clark and McGonigle or Wyatt Langford?

 

clark and mcongigle.

 

I would rather have Langford, but totally fine with having Clark and McGonigle. McGonigle is really interesting and a good middle infielder would really be a great find for this rebuild.

Max Clark's last 150 PAs at A+ are pretty encouraging. Drawing walks, not striking out too much. Power hasn't been great, but he's young and constantly facing older players.

 

His full season numbers are fine, too. But he's in low A. West Michigan is high A now.

 

Tik tok boy tearing it up lately

 

Thanks, all the league level changes suck after so long following the old system.

I'm ready for no more Carlos Pena in the booth ever again.

 

Weins

 

Weins was a senior who signed for cheap and is older than Riley Greene. He's currently mediocre in low A ball as an almost 24 year old.

 

We can fix him

 

Skubal getting 12 Ks through 6 shutout IP with just 70 some pitches is complete domination.

 

#TradeSkubal2024

 

They better get a kings ransom, otherwise they should be paying him

 

Illitch won’t pay him.

 

Wonder if Torkelson will make the AAA All Star game?

 

Absolutely not.

 

i don’t trust Harris in any trade, but if they can get a haul similar to what the Nats got for Soto, you have to consider it.

 

How the fuck was that foul?

 

4 hits taken away in 3 ABs

 

Perez WTF
