Re: Detroit Tigers 2010: Streaker is going to buy me some beer
Well, maybe I was crazy for suggesting they would only win 69 games, but I did anticipate this. Winning 8-10 more games isn't really any different except it buys a pitcher of suds, which isn't too hard to handle with you anyways.
Boesch is still going to be a decent player and we all knew the slump was going to happen. Cabrera has proved that he has overcome his issues, at least up to this point. Let's see what happens when he is the only one producing and the attitude in the clubhouse changes. Ordonez' boat sailed when they didn't cut him loose last season. He has proven to be an adequate outfielder and a solid .300 hitter, but he isn't worth 15MM. Still, the talk to dump him now is ludicrous. Guillen. Ditto, although it is a toss up who is a worse fielder- Magglio, Damon or him. Outside of DH, there is no position for this guy that will hide his deficient legs and sometimes erratic arm. Damon is the guy I thought he'd be- some clutch hits, a solid .280 average- but an adventure in the outfield.
Give Kelly, Raburn and Worth credit for trying to stretch AAA talent at the MLB level. Shortstop is probably the most glaring position right now and there is no hope in the future unless they give away the store. I like Santiago, but he is not an everyday SS.
Inge was having a decent year, just bad luck. They are hooped without him which really speaks to how barren their minor system is.
Avila and Lardo- Abbott and Costello would look better in the old english D. What a disappointment. Second worst position right now, with second base right behind.
Pitching: Even the ace is having trouble winning, with shredded talent behind him. Besides that, the said truth has been covered, both int he starting rotation and in the bullpen.
Hard to say who is more valuable on the team- Cabrera or Valverde. They would be 10 games under .500 right now if it wasn't for either of them.
Oh, and Fien is down, Sizemore is back up.
Henning is right about one thing. Take the lumps this season, put on the flak jacket instead of the parachute.

Valverde's been possessed by the ghosts of Fernando Rodney and Todd Jones.

That's three times in a row. He loaded the bases before getting out of the 9th monday, and got jacked the last game in Cleveland.

Take it easy on G-Money, he's making another solid push for the Mendoza Line for that 2-4 this evening

Yeah, well I think Leyland took a piece of his azz along with Avila in the press, too. It was bound to make one of them do something. Besides, I think he likes to stick it to his former team. It was funny watching Treanor flounder the night before, too.

Was watching some brawls when this gem showed up. Hammer, it looks like one of your favorite guys on the mound fired the first shot for the Whitecaps.

I don't have a problem with what the other pitcher did. You hit one of our guys after you gave up a bomb, I'm gonna ding one of your guys. He did it on the hip, not above the shoulders. That was not the best idea in the world for the batter to come to the mound in that situation, either.
That one was relatively recent, too. That Whitecaps SS is in the Tiger organization, either at Erie or Toledo.

Yep. It didn't look like much at the plate, but they had to help him off the field.
It's either grab Adam Dunn to play LF and move Boesch to right, or start trading, starting with Johnny Damon and get Ryan Strieby or Casper Wells up here.
