No wonder the Tigers took a big step back, Marco Rubio can’t possibly find time to run south Florida into the ocean and manage his young arm’s innings.
Visual acuity is important to maintain.
Catch a tiger by the tale.
So, they all look alike?
It’s the 2002 Tigers all over again.
So World Series in four years?
Possibly
Miggy will come back from injuries sustained and anchor a very young tigers’ team…
Broken record.
“Anchor” indeed.
As in dragging them down to the bottom of the deep.blue sea.
Mancini or Haniger for RF
Boyd and Pineda again? Need innings.
Trade Soto?
Non tender and resign Candy
Rogers and Haase at C
Let Tork, Greene, Carpenter, Wentz Badoo develop in the bigs and all the pitchers heal
Not much immediate help on the farm for 23
Run it back otherwise and big changes in 24 w no more Miggy Candy Schoop and hopefully full strength staff .
Tigers need a RH bat that can play OF, and move to 1B if Torkelson needs more time in the minors. Mancini is not really an OF, as evidenced by Alvarez playing LF for Houston instead of DH. If you are worse than Alvarez, you don’t want him roaming Comerica. Hanigan is quite the injury waiting to happen. Al liked signing that type of player. Hopefully Harris will spend his payroll more wisely. Will Myers strikes out a lot, but might take a one year deal.
@stymeedone; would Harris move a Brieske type of arm for switch hitting Os outfielder Santander?
Will Myers half seasons in career- 5
Will Myers full seasons in career-5
Haniger? Same ratio. Meh. Potato/potato.
Maybe it’s unwise to not know the guy you are calling injury prone is just as injury prone as the guy you want to replace him. Myers tank looks a lot closer to empty than Hanigers, results wise.
A Lefty batting 1st base/ DH I think would help Tigers too
Sounds like we’re going to be fooled again…
“Meet the new boss..
Same as the old boss.”
Get a RF with power
and 2 starters
Tender candy
New hitting coach and we good for 2023
Trade Brieske and Soto for Santander?
Sign Taillon and T. Anderson as starters.
Keep Candelario for 3B
Keep Barnhart as backup catcher.
Sign Correa and move Baez to 2B.
LF Baddoo
SS Correa
CF Greene
RF Santander
2B Baez
DH Carpenter/Miggy
1B Tork
3B Candy
C Haase/Barnhart
I would also try and sign Bellinger for 1B if they think Tork isn’t ready.
Try and get C Danny Jansen from the Jays. He was great during the playoffs. Turn Haase into a Max Muncy type of bench player. The guy is a great all around player.
This article is written as if Al the wonder GM himself was still at the helm. You will see a much different approach from senior Harris.
Santander would be a great pickup. I’d like them to consider 3B Mark Vientos of the Mets. I’d also not like to see Gregory Soto on the team, but also not on the Mets as well (Tigers & Mets my teams). Move McNeil to LF, Mauricio to 2B.
We shouldn’t go for any of Seattle’s OFs, except trade low for Kelenic—he may finally emerge.
