My thoughts exactly.

It's one thing to not give 100%. But he gave nothing on that play, and this should be inexcusable to Mr B.
Players only meeting needed. Maybe the warm fuzzies aren't working
You need to work hard and Choo just thought he would let 2B get it

Choo seriously looks like he does not give a fuck.

We're fortunate to be down only one, but one looks like a really big ONE right now.

Again, I concur, which is why I'm absolutely DONE with this MF.

We've got to put Josh in RF in the 2nd half as much as we can. Or, if Rua gets some quality ABs and can come up to simply replace him altogether.

I was gonna say, get Rua going and get rid of Choo one way or the other.

I don't have any problem with him doing well in his first game there. That happens often. I really wouldn't have any problem with him having several good games there this year. He has a history of pitching well as late as late last year with us. It was a very good pickup for the Tigers. Neftali still has a lot of good outings left in him. Maybe he needed to be shook up some. It worked with Nellie a few years back when we DFAed him. We were just fortunate that we didn't lose Nellie at that point. I think the Tigers made an excellent pickup with Feliz.

My problem with this is Feliz looked like he had no urgency to get his velocity up. He leaves and does this. I am not happy for him. We have all heard reports of laziness He should have done this for the Rangers who I root for. You leave the Rangers and I am ready to beat you. Cruz did not wait on suspension. That was not for good of team. Don't go soft on old Rangers. Chris Davis. I don't blame mgt. He did. It get it done here. We need to be tougher and expect more be wise if you don't you get less. Btw. Less does not get the job done.

Has a guy ever been given his outright release or DFAed when he's owed $100 mil?

As much as I'm done with him, can't imagine ownership would be willing to do so.

They wouldn't, but I'm a big believer in sunk costs. I'm sure we could trade him to somebody if we agreed to eat 70% of his salary. He's not giving us jack shit. Might as well get a salary dump out of him.

They need to declare that injury and give him a long rehab stint. I hope it is not age regression. A lot of money to eat

Age has nothing to do with attitude. And his sucks.

Choo is fucking worthless. I don't care if he checked his swing or not, he had no business offering at that pitch in any way. I'm done with him.

I would think Beltre will get at least one pitch to hit here.

Choo just fucking kills us. Get that lack of effort out of the top half of the lineup.

Odor
DDJ
Fielder
Beltre
Moreland
Hamilton
Andrus
Choo
Chirinos

Dare I say that Elvis is currently a better fit than Choo for 2 spot.
