Too bad General Manager isn’t open. It’s not like one could do any worse.
The Tigers are one Correa short of being in the playoff hunt. I have no idea whether or not Avila is talented or not, but ignoring all they accomplished this year is self-defeating.
I’m pretty sure they’ll land Correa or Seager this offseason. Illitchs aren’t known to blow smoke at their fans.
Lying to yourself, it is just bad business.
Fortunately for me, I have been drinking KoolAid since I was a kid and I am immune to the stuff.
REALITY – makes Superfife the best MAN for the job.
Avila’s Dad, Ralph was a Dodgers VP.
Avila has done a good job with what he had to start with a roster overloaded with over paid, declining veterans and a farm system stripped bare for an ending 10 year run of pennant contention
A fair job. Many, many missed opportunities. The rebuild was not very aggressive. He stutter stepped several times believing he would be the recipient of a miracle…. Contracts signed were not rebuild, tradable contracts. He did not appear to be targeting other teams top prospects, just wandering into whatever….. Signed no one with the intention of trading them. Did not take on other teams salary in exchange for.top prospects. Hired no one of interest. There are many additional items the Superfife could list but won’t right now.
I liked the diamonds in the rough effort. Didn’t work out too well but it is a good concept. Kinda stinks and is very weird cutting guys who are still in their early 20s when they still have so.much potential. But it has to happen.
Al must be too close to these guys to do the dirty work – what has to be done.
Me, on the other hand, have learned nice guys get screwed. And I learned that the hard way.
There are lots of things Al can do RIGHT NOW.
LIKE HIRE THE SUPERFIFE.
Seriously, this year, right now, is presenting some unique opportunities for the Tigers if they can recognize them and act on them.
Just take the Pro Scouting Intern position for now. Learn to make good coffee and keep Miggy alive, you’ll receive your five-year GM contract in a year.
Enjoy another winter, Yankee
Tigers will also be accepting applications for shortstop, outfielder, and starting pitcher. Six plus years experience preferred, but willing to train the right candidate/s.
The Pirates will be doing the same. However, if you have 6+ years of experience, youre excluded from consideration
I have a jersey. Can I apply for an infield position?
Only if you have a cup
No, there full of Jersey fillers, need a hitting shortstop
@StChris
Snortstop, yes. OF, no. Detroit has a solid group of young OFs with more coming. Starting pitcher, obviously! Every team in MLB has starting pitching on their wish list! I think your application just got weeded from the stack.
Saint Chris
Tigers will also be accepting applications for shortstop, outfielder,
==================================
I’m a RS fan, and don’t particularly follow the Tigers, but their outfield next year will be Grossman, Baddoo, and Green. If you are a Tigers fan, you need to keep up with your own minor league system.
Saint Clown is more like it.
@stymeedone, Snortstop is open, Belushi & half the country is applying for that position.
Easy peasy. Question is … who will be #4 OF on the bench??
You guys missed the joke
I think George Constanza might be applying.
First step would be to change the jerseys to cotton.
Step 2: build a nap space under the desk.
Apply to director “Art Van Delay”
I thought Van Delay Industries was in latex.
I should be hired for all positions. I would bring a championship to Detroit
Pros: Get to work in baseball
Cons: Detroit
Pros: Won’t have to work with FletcberFan69 as if he was ever qualified, just eliminated himself from consideration.
Fair point. I’m sure the recruiting team will shiver in fear when they see FletcherFan69 at the top of my resume (I hate my parents for naming me this)
Steve why would any of the clowns you comment here be qualified to work in an MLB office?? (Yes that includes myself)
A couple of the guys commenting on the Tigers, apparently know very little about them.
lots of jobs out there https://www.teamworkonline.com/baseball-jobs/baseballjobs/major-league-baseball
I’d be thrilled to work for the Tigers. Hard to judge Avila because he inherited a fast sinking ship of an aged team with bloated contacts and a barren farm. He built up analytics, drained the swamp of old school guys, restocked the farm and rebuilt from the depths. It’s been a terrible 5 year stretch but things are finally looking positive.
It’s been pretty easy, so far…..
Still waiting for a team to open up the coveted “historian” position…
Are they also advertising on craigslist?
That seems like a lot of openings. Is that normal?
Mr Illich,
There seems to be one job opening left off of this list- Al Avilas’ boss.
It seems like a very unusual oversight. I thought I would write you a quick memo to alert you to this fact.
By the way, I am available for the job.
My qualifications: I am a universal tightwad- ask any waitress in town. Seriously, the idea of spending millions of dollars frightens me, but in the right environment, I could get used to it.
Each year brings new, unique and exciting opportunities in major league baseball. This year is no exception. However, I would not reveal strategy here in this public forum. It would be to our mutual benefit to arrange for a more private meeting so these items may be discussed in detail for the Detroit Tigers exclusively.
Really, come on down and we’ll watch some Audy Murphy and become honorary Texicans while we discuss matters over a couple shots.
Signed Sincerely,
The Superfife
