3rd round pick: Grayson Greiner, a catcher from South Carolina. 6-6, 220, needs to work on his hitting.

Now just what in the hell do we think we're going to do with a 6-foot-6 catcher that can't hit?

And then Holaday triples to RC, the deepest part of the park. 1st triple of his career.

Avila left in the 8th after getting conked in the head on a backswing. Again.

Avila out with another concussion. Dude's gonna have to quit at this rate.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 7: The George Kell edition

That's exactly why I thought he'd be out of baseball in 3-5 years.

He gives entirely new meaning to the term "batter up."

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 7: The George Kell edition

Imagine if we had kept Charlie Furbush, and still managed to keep Fister. And then draft Pankake.

We could hire back Rusty Kuntz as a base coach.

ETA: Just Googled him and it appears the proper pronunciation is "pancake." I don't know whether to be disappointed or not.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 7: The George Kell edition

If it's all the same to you guys, I'd prefer that our backup catchers do not go crash-landing into first base on a bunt.
