A.L. Central Discussion 2016

Yeah -- i'm guessing any pitcher who has reached the MLB has tried out every pitch imaginable. So it wasn't brand new, but from what I read and what they have talked about on broadcasts of Tiger games -- they taught him a new grip the week of his 5th start against TB in his bullpen sessions and TB was the 1st game he used it and he has used it ever since.

I believe they said it was the pitching coach Jeff Jones who showed him the new grip. Whoever it was deserves a big raise, because it took his game to a whole new level and props to Fulmer for being able to pick it up so quickly and actually have the trust to use it in a game that quickly.

Good info. Cheers.

Lucroy would be a massive upgrade at C for the Indians, but as it stands, he'd be a two-three month rental because he's a free agent after this year. Wouldn't want to give up too much for that unless it came with a team friendly extension.

The Tigers are going after him as well, but I don't think we have enough to give to get him ... but you never know.

This is my favorite thread on the internets. All of the internets.

Thanks, Danny!

Well, there're three variables, what the Brewers want, what the Tigers are willing to give, and what the Indians are willing to give, so you never know.

That said, given the state of the two farm systems, I'd be surprised if the Indians wanted Lucroy and the Tigers got him.

If you look closely, you can see MiamiVice hiding behind the plant on the left toward the end of the gif. I think he's wearing a Marines uniform that he got from a surplus store and a sombrero.
