Re: Detroit Tigers 2022
The Tigers already are a minor league team!I'd honestly like to see the tigers relocate or become a minor league team.
They have the talent, sports science capabilities and attendance levels of one.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

If this hire is true, consider me impressed!

Edit - Tigers have confirmed the hire:

(I should've known mullet man would have confirmation before McCosky the Grouch.)

Re: Detroit Tigers 2022
Sounds like a great hire. If Ilitch is smart enough to let him make all the decisions and just sign the checks, the Tigers are headed back to contention.

I wonder if he thought his job was in jeopardy? The Giants have had a very disappointing year, but they were great last season.

Re: Detroit Tigers 2022
I cannot help but think of Bob Quinn (Lions), but I am optimistic this situation will turn out differently.

You're just shitting on him because he's young? Not a good look...

Re: Detroit Tigers 2022
Not "shitting on him", merely wary. As a fervent fan I wish him great success. Randy Smith and the aforementioned Bob Quinn both seemingly had a narrow purview in their relationships with the rest of the league. That's not necessarily a bad thing as I've always been a proponent of a "homegrown" team and our young new President of Baseball Operations has explicitly stated in his remarks that an improvement in player development will be a top priority.

Re: Detroit Tigers 2022
GM Jon Horst of the Bucks (fellow alum and fellow senior project pal of mine) won a championship last year at 38. Let the haters hate. In the words of Al Davis: Just win!

Re: Detroit Tigers 2022
All good points. What might make him stand out from Smith and Quinn was the time he spent with Theo Epstein in Chicago. Harris seemed like he was a more integral part of the Cubs operation than Quinn in New England. And Smith didn't have Harris's resume when he was hired by the Tigers in the fall of 1995. I think Smith made a big impression because of his youth and some improvement in the San Diego Padres after he took over as GM.moldyoldie wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 12:15 amNot "shitting on him", merely wary.

Re: Detroit Tigers 2022
He might have sensed he was on a sinking ship. The Giants had one of those strangely unique years in 2021 when everything came together with a group of veteran players. This year they look like they have fallen back to what could reasonably be expected with their roster. And they're not getting any younger.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 9:06 pmI wonder if he thought his job was in jeopardy?

Re: Detroit Tigers 2022
What if the Tigers and Mud Hens traded places? Would it work out better?
