2017 AL CENTRAL DISCUSSION

[Erie Warrior]

July 3rd. So it means nuttin.

Right, only 8 games out of first place. Going make a run any month now.

 

[osubuckeye89]

Hey Jack, did the Tigers get their shit pushed in this weekend?

I believe the Tigers should be awarded some sort of 1/2 win for the HEART they showed in the 9th yesterday in that almost but not really "comeback" attempt - right @dougplayer

 

[Voltaire26]

For the Tigers, they have basically until July 31st to declare themselves a viable contender. Better start that winning streak.

No one in the Tiger's organization can say this, but sometime you got to "know when to fold them". It's gonna be hard, but you have to think about reloading for next year.

I'd almost prefer that to the middling nonsense the Royals are doing right now on the whole.

The Royals are 3 games out, but the Indians are good. They have been under performing a little this year ... so I hear you. If the Indians play to their potential this race could be over.

No doug stuff, Voltaire. What do you think needs to be done for the Tigers to reload and get set for future seasons? Who do you see as players who can be traded now or later? JD, obviously....who else?

 

[Iffster]

BTW...a lot of writers mention that Detroit should trade Ian Kinsler. I don't know of many contending teams in need of a second baseman...especially one hitting under .250.

 

[dougplayer]

Yeah vol. Iffy wants to know. Who to trade. Because it's so hard to figure out who we can trade...so hard for iffy to figure out.
Can't trade Upton
Verlander.
Might.
Iffy is still scratching his head who we can trade. Not zimmy. Oooo it's so hard for iffy to figure out

So you even answer questions for Voltaire.....LOL

Doug my question for you would be different from the one I asked "Voltaire26". I was wondering IF you thought it was about time for the Tigers to go into "sell mode"? You seem reluctant to throw in the towel on the Tigers....so I assume you would not want to trade Tiger regulars like JD, Verlander, Justin Wilson, Kinsler, etc. If you have changed your mind on the Tigers' chance this year....let us know.

I'm sorry doug. I realize that if you answered the questions above about the Tiger's chances (this season) it could put you in a bad position for one of the 'other' characters. Afterall...how could "doug" suggest that the Tigers go into sell mode, when the 'overall' character calls for idiotic homerism, stupid remarks, and off topic conversations. Carry on as before - doug(s).

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Iffy/peopleschicken...same person.
You can tell they got balls on there mind..abd chin.
Iffy is just a coward. 2 screen names. What a nut licking punk.
Good thing you over on Ohio side now

Doug doug DOUG....I am not Iffy. I am a unique brand of asshole that cannot be duplicated

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

As I've said before about Verlander- he can go through stretches of pure meathead throwing. That doesn't work when you're in your 30's regardless of ability.

The Indians have traditionally hit Verlander pretty hard even when he was in his prime

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

19-21 and an ERA of almost 5 coming into his most recent start

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Well documented- but marginally relevant to what I was saying.

Here is a secret...I pay marginally to little attention to what other people say when I post

at the half way point - 81 games

AL Central Division
Cleveland Indians 44 37 .543 --
Kansas City Royals 41 40 .506 3.0
Minnesota Twins 41 40 .506 3.0
Chicago White Sox 36 45 .444 8.0
Detroit Tigers 36 45 .444 8.0

Isn't the Tigers also paying for a white sox starting pitcher?

 

[Wamu]

Tigers are right where they belong. 8 games outta 1st & in the ALc basement.

Yes, Pelfry is actually doing "pretty good" for Chicago White Sox ... and this whole division is going to be pay for some of the moves the White Sox have been making ... two years from now they will be a force to be reckoned with!!

Isn't that true of every team ... it's wins and losses that decide what place you are in. Oh, I am sorry ... you were probably trying to geek someone up. Sorry ... my bad.
