Really? Is he good? Does he try to make eye contact? I hate that shit.

Only looks you in the eye when you let him taste the leather on bottom of your shoe.

Again...sorry if my attempts to push you into discussing baseball issues are scaring you. I wouldn't worry too much, however. There are several people here that have been stringing you along as a sap for a long time, they won't let you sink. I know you need attention --- even if it comes in the form of you acting the clown.

Have you ever come to an opinion on who'd you like to see in CF for Detroit?

Good interview in detriot free press with miggy.
He has high hopes. He thinks this is last year of window open. Mentioned. Kinsler and JD leaving as free agents . He expounded on how good Verlander looks already in trainning camp!!

Glad JV is healthy....but looking good on Feb 21 is not that big a deal.

GTFO with this.

Bob feller is not walking out of that dug out

Bob Feller isn't doing a lot of walking at all, these days.

Miggy actually expounded on how tight Verlander's pants always are and how he plans to emulate that this year. Miggy also mentioned he is back on the sauce, trying to emulate Mickey Mantle during the glory years.

Wonderful. Just don't call Spring Training "training camp"

I think he was back on the sauce the second they let him out of jail. He was still pounding Dewar's during his traffic stop (and with his money, why wouldn't you get a better scotch than that?)

If he adds the Jack Parkman "shimmy" to his repertoire the rest of the division is screwed.

Odd that he also likes to use red Solo cups.

''Mantle couldn't carry Miggy's jock.''

''Billy Pierce isn't going to be walking out of the dugout.''

He's Mexican. Dewar's is like 55 year Macallan to them.

Cups!?!

He drinks thanksgiving dinner straight out the bottle.

Clearly these projections suck if the White Sox are not coming in last. The White Sox MUST tank so they can draft Seth Beer out of Clemson.

I noticed that CBS Sports put out their pre-season Power Ranking. Tribe was listed at #2, behind Cubs. Cleveland was the only AL Central team listed in the top half of the MLB teams...with the Tigers placed #16 and the rest trailing in behind (White Sox near the bottom).

Not a bad list. I think the Angels are going to improve significantly though, while the power ranking has a slight improvement but not much. They finished the 2nd half with a winning record. Their biggest holes were catcher, 2nd base, and left field; and while they didn't do anything major, I would say they improved all these positions. They didn't really lose anybody significant, and getting Nolasco for a full year, plus Richards back. Wouldn't be surprised if they were .500+ this year.
