If he had remained a catcher and accomplished those stats, he'd have a shot. But 40% of his career starts have been at first base or DH.
They split with the Braves at home, which is worse than losing a series.
Alex Wood got back on track yesterday winning in Arizona, no easy feat. So, they may get even better.
millers gonna hurt
Never say never. Could be that the Tiggers are hoping someone isdesperate enough take a huge chunk of the remaining contract. Maybe as it gets later into August, they will agree to eat more of it. Of course that all depends on if Verlander continues to pitch the way he has since the break. He one-hit (8 innings) the Pirates yesterday. 2.01/1.01/.185 in his last 7 starts.
he has "it" dirt. he really does. ahead of his years in terms of poise. he is uber aware of space and contact. i saw him make cuts with nothing there, and just take the yard rather than push for more. good sign. he knows how to run, and how to last, in football. his old man taught him well...
yeah, he does...and he prefers to just tuck and run himself rater than find an outlet.
I thought they were underachieving at the start but the whole AL Central was weird at the start. I do remember thinking the Wild Card was 50/50 between them and Tampa Bay at the All Star break but neither team really inspires you with a ton of confidence.
My joke with him is that he is someone you want on your team but also someone the Patriots usually find in rd4 or on the waiver wire.
