Players hitting better than .241 = 3 (including Aducci's 3 for 9). Players with an OPS of greater than .699 = 2. Terrible pitchers the Tigers still owe about $50,000,000 = 1 Chances of a win tonight = 0
Can we please trade Fiers this week. I’m afraid he will get lit up in his next two starts before trade deadline.
Castellanos is clearly the best player on this team. Guessing Jimenez was the choice to make the numbers work in OF, but that still kind of sucks.
I cant remember the last time I had no clue who the Tiger's All-Star representative was after it was announced
From the New York Post. I do not know much about Tyler Wade but I'm selling. Throw in a couple lottery tickets instead of Wade if that's what you are into I suppose. Spoiler Tigers scout checking Yankees’ talent with Fulmer on radar By George A. King III July 13, 2018 | 4:45am CLEVELAND — With the Yankees keeping an eye Detroit right-hander Michael Fulmer, the Tigers had a scout at Progressive Field on Thursday night to watch the Yankees-Indians game. It’s no secret, even with the Manny Machado talks dominating the news cycle, the Yankees are very serious about adding at least one starter to a rotation headed by Luis Severino and CC Sabathia. Fulmer isn’t an ace, but could fit in between Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka or turn Domingo German into a long reliever. Though the Yankees wouldn’t part with Miguel Andujar or Greg Bird for Fulmer, the Tigers have an interest in Clint Frazier and Tyler Wade. They weren’t in Thursday night’s lineup, but there is a chance they will play at some point in the four-game series, not only to rest others, but to showcase them for the Tigers. Wade entered the Yankees’ 7-4 win as a defensive replacement in the eighth at second base and robbed Yonder Alonso of a single with a leaping catch. Fulmer, 25, is 3-8 with a 4.11 ERA in 18 starts for the Tigers who are already out of chances to catch the Indians in the AL Central. In his past three outings the former first-round pick of the Mets is 0-2 with a 3.86 ERA. Fulmer is appealing to clubs because he isn’t eligible for free agency until after the 2022 season. Aaron Boone has managed 92 games in the majors, but received a very high compliment from Indians manager Terry Francona before the game. “I do think he’s got the really good makeup for being a good manager,” Francona said, according to the Associated Press. “I thought when Joe Torre was in New York, I didn’t think he got enough credit. He had very good teams, but he allowed them to play and he shielded them from a lot of the stuff that can come with New York or with the Steinbrenners and stuff like that. And I see a lot of the same things in [Boone] now, even though he’s really younger and certainly more inexperienced, but really good outlook, knows how to treat people. It doesn’t look like his ego is getting in the way. He knows he has a good team and he lets them [play].’’
Clint Frazier would be the centerpiece. Apologies for not making that clear. Frazier and Wade OR Frazier and a prospect or two
I think he just needs to play everyday somewhere. The dude mashed AAA pitching as 22-23 year old. Understood that he doesn’t get you all tingly inside but I don’t think Fulmer is worth much more today or in a year or two years. Seems fair to me especially for an org that desperately needs more position players
I like Wade as a buy low candidate, but I don't see him being the 2nd piece in a Fulmer deal unless the first one is better than Frazier. Wade is the kind of guy who is probably best as a utlility guy, with the upside of maybe giving you some cheap years as a league average starting middle infielder. That's nice, but I have to believe the Tigers are looking for more than that with the first couple pieces in a Fulmer trade. I don't trust any NYY stuff from NY media when it comes to prospects. NYY are the best in the business at pumping up their own and their media buys into that. That said, I have no clue what Fulmer is worth today. He's definitely worth less today than he was before the injury last year, but I just don't see the reason for the Tigers to sell low on him considering his previous performance + the awful market of starting pitchers currently available.
Also, I've mentioned him before as someone I'm high on. This promotion paves the way for him to potentially start next season at West Michigan at 19 years old, which would be significant. We haven't done that with many kids from Latin America over the last 3-4 years, but I think Perez has a chance to turn into something pretty interesting.
Right, he’s nothing special. Which is why I don’t get people are balking at a Frazier as a center piece deal. Just because he has 4 years of team control left doesn’t mean you will get a shit ton of top prospects. If we can get a similar haul like we got from Houston for JV, I’d do it.
Our trade deadline went from potentially exciting to really boring when all of our trade candidates either started to suck or got hurt.
