AL Central Smack Talk

[Fountain City Blues]

As big of a mess the vikes are, it's nice to see other Minnesota teams turn it around.

Wolves have just their second 3-0 start in history. This is a legit playoff team that is dangerous if it defends.

Wild building off last years playoff appearance

Gopher football with 7! Wins already!! 3 in conference! That's the real shock.

Vikings fans deserve better for sure; and Minny fans in general
I am just hoping the Sharks get to beat the crap out of the Wings in the playoffs

you still need to sign Santana, shields has one year left on his contract... Trade pending? also the Royals have been rumored to trade Billy Butler.

as for Duffy...didnt he just come back from TJ ?

I guess that "rumor" hasn't hit a KC paper yet. The Royals are not going to sign Santana, he earned his payday, or so every "rumor" have have actually read and not created has stated 7 other teams getting him.

Good, we get their pick then, we are certainly giving a qualifying offer. Santana should be this years Lohse in FA.

Probably not good enough to justify trading Butler... a team would have to be really dumb to give up a ton for Butler.

mr hockey.. I didn't see the twins on your list of Minnesota teams turning it around....

you must bot have seen the results last couple games in the NHL. red wings are back on the top of the Atlantic after playing some western teams....all in there barn.

 

[dougplayer]

Tigers would give a bag of balls and a couple bats for Butler.

how can those chiefs keep winning? could scored on offense..dam bills fumbled away the game!
got A Smith on my fantsy bench...that's where he will sit all year..unless iam force to play him

Seen their farm system? I know they are farmhands now, but I think their top 2 prospects are just
"kind of" good.

Ball control offense + dominant defense

Mccluster dropped an easy TD

Becoming a dirty habit to leave atleast 10 points on the scoreboard for the O without even turning the ball over.

And idk how much more clear I can be when I say the West has owned the East so far.

Wild get spanked by the Blackhawks. Nothing the east can't help fix!!! Back to back 4 goal games.

Yeah it looks very nice but sadly still a little short on pitching with 2 of the main 3 being at least two full seasons away.

Nice to note that Arcia and Hicks weren't even on the list because of the Pt they got this year.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Paulino is off the 60 day DL and Santana has received a 1 yr qualifying offer. The other 2 pitchers to my recollection to receive qualifying offers are Kuroda and Ubaldo.

 

[dougplayer]

uh ooo. Rodgers goes down. maybe he needed that
daaaaaable check policy now.

does this open the door for the Detroit lions???????????????

Stafford is pushing hard for a MVP this year.
Lions gave 2 games away this year!!!!

 

[dougplayer]

DD was quoted in the Detroit free press...he is going to get a closer.... ol DD not sleeping on the job this year!!
he mentioned Benoit is being considered... dam..he almost had me ..
Benoit is a fine 8th inning set up man. maybe the best in the game.

it is stretching him out to be a closer full time. DD seems to think they is a ton of closers out there. like signing 1 is a piece of cake. we shall see.
as you know..the Tigers have made the biggest splashes in the off season with new signings.
will this year be another????

when youcan draw over 3 million fans a year..any thing is possible

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Wings lose to the mighty jets.

 

[dougplayer]

yea almost swept all of western Canada.
to bad sharks aint on this road trip

If the Tigers had balls and anyone in the minors, we could work something out...but everyone has seen they don't have neither this year.

If the tigers would have got a closer, another RP and another bat last year, pretty sure you wouldn't be saying anything than "we are the champs"

crap, what am I doing the Dougie for...I'm tired, my bad.

 

[gvsulaker82]

Theres no way in hell the tigers would trade for butler. I like the guy but they already have vmart/prince and miggy taking up that spot.
