Mike Moustakas Struggling To Recover From Wrist Injury

By Jeff Todd | September 6, 2019 at 6:43pm CDT

Through 520 plate appearances, he’s slashing .260/.331/.522 with 31 long balls. He

      As the horrendous Black Beast lunged forward, escape for Arthur and his knights seemed hopeless, when suddenly, the animator suffered a fatal heart attack.The cartoon peril was no more. The quest for Holy Grail could continue.

    He isn’t all that great and shut it down before he hurt his off-season market?

    I hope the Tigers sign him this offseason. Bring in a veteran who plays the game right. DFA both Miggie and Zimmerman because they play lazy.

      And this is what you get, fanwise, when the lead in drinking water gets so high you can cast .22 rounds out of the bottom tailings from a boiled off pot of spaghetti…

    A sequel to a post? This is worse than turning that final movie about dogs and vampires into two movies about dogs and vampires.
