Victor Martinez, the new Alex Avila.
Is it too late to give Victor away…we can use that $16 mil……
Alex Avila, the new Brandon Inge.
Buck Farmer. The new David Price!
Jeffrey Marte: The new Miguel Cabrera.
Brad Ausmus, the new Jim Leyland!
Hey boys if we did this a little more often we wouldn’t be in this sub .500 fix
This trading week just changed baseball forever. Just think 30-40-50 players just changed teams. This will be the new norm of acquirring players. Free agentcy is one thing, but this has never been done before to this extent…and its just the beginning
Hockey has been like this for a while.
And here it all unravels.
Is it too late to package Avila, Victor, and Ian Krol for a really cold pint of beer?
And Castallanos…..
Buck Showaltet states “i use certain pitchets when I am ahead and certain pitchers when I am behind”!!!….Capt Smarty doesn’t believe that. He uses pitchers strictly based on whether they are LH or RH..has NOTHING to do with skill level…..this is one of his major problems on a daily basis. Krol should never ever ever pitch when the Tigers are ahead Smarty…always when behind!
……..by more than 5 runs….
So who the hell is this Valdez guy…..wow!…he makes Krol look good!…well not really!
He is a guy making his MLB debut. Just the guy to bring in IN THAT SITUATION if you have NO MANAGEMENT SKILLS.
Nick is 4 for 4!
When the Tigers were up 6-0 I was hoping they would hang on for another 1-run win. Guess that was wishful thinking.
Tigers have 15 hits but only get 7 runs…story ogf the Ausmus era yet again today…
Why didn’t ausmus challenge? Is he saving it for tomorrow? Iggy was safe !!
Hey Casty…try soccer..its a bigger ball!!….or at least swing at pitches in the Baltimore area code!
1-2-3 get on base 8 times..Victor 1 rbi….7-8-9 get on base 6 times…Davis 0 rbi
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, an Ausmus specialty!
Any word on why Avila wasn’t traded? It seems highly unlikely he will be tendered a contract, so he will leave after the season with nothing in return for the Tigers. I would have guessed West Michigan could have used a middle reliever or whatever DD could have gotten for him.
two things likely prevented the AAvila trade:
1) no takers …or the offers were in-line w/his talents… so why bother
2) his father
we’ll have to wait and see how these ‘prospects’ play out, but I like the trades, and if Cespedes were open to it (as he’s stated) I’d like to see DET sign him as FA this offseason
+3……were good!…..if Cespedes returns +5….if Ausmus gets the boot..+8….if Avila gets the boot +10….if Castallanos ever learns how to play baseball +12
At least Casty now has a golden sombrero. What took so long? He has been hitting a lot better lately, but too many clanks off the glove at 3rd, and they all seem to cost runs (ever notice how the Tigers are always ending up with Worst Case Scenario stuff this season? Even the blowpen today might not have cost the game without the weird stupid ruling on the Iglesias play at the plate.
