A.L. Central Discussion 2016

Not really- that's how you get a starter at a lesser contract than Melancon. Have to take some chances here and there- this one makes a great deal of sense.

You already had him though.

I guess you're gambling on him having his best year yet in 2017?

Very much so.

I like this thread.

Post in it at your leisure good sir.

And more importantly, t2017 one.

 

[broncosmitty]

Very much so.

I don't like the five years, but I do like gambling on your own.

I miss Ricky P....

Chris Sale looks like a methed-out hillbilly that listens to rap.

Vegas sets the odds.
And no dumb ass. You can't bet sports in a detriot casino. Dumb fuck.
Maybe in windsor.

Would fit in good with the indians. Fit right in

Hard not to like what Dayton Moore has done with an almost impossible situation.

Turned 1 year of wade davis into 4 years of Soler (not perfect considering other deals, but if you're trying to compete this year and cut payroll, which is really hard to do, it worked out alright).

turned 1 year of Dyson into 4 years of Karns (1 year of a platoon OF for 4 years of a guy who is a BOR starter with plus stuff, or likely a very good RP if the royals move him there).

signed Duffy for 5 years at about 30 mil in expected surplus value.

That's not bad for a team that is in the middle of a major transition over the next 12 months.

At least in Cleveland. You can act like you like LeBron and the Cavs. I mean it's all you got.

Well, there's the Indians' ownership of the Tigers. 14-4. That's gotta sting.

There's also this.

Get yer shine box, boy!

On a side note: It's always nice to see a fan of division rival giving Doug or any of us shit.

As far as the Tigers/Indians last year ... I don't want to talk about it.

Now with the ohio state/Michigan game you linked to ... that game along with this game OSU vs UM | 1902 UM 86 - OSU 0 are history ... can't wait for next year.

Back to the topic of the thread ... Cleveland has to be a huge favorite this year ... it's going to be nice coming at you guys from the underdogs perspective.

I see that the Red Wings and Pistons are dominating their respective sports this season.

Bringing up a game from nearly 115 years ago. What is it w/ some of you UofM fans always living in the past? What happened over a century ago is history. What happened last year isn't.

I've asked doug to explain WHY he sees the Tigers as the favorite, over Cleveland, in the AL Central....but I never have seen him give an explanation. Except that Verlander has Heart, of course.

Everything that isn't now is the past ... thank for noticing

Big difference between last year & more than a century ago. You obviously didn't notice that.

I don't have to validate everything I say or believe through Doug ... I know you're obsessed with him, but fans can have differing opinions.
