A.L. Central Smack 2015

[broncosmitty]

Completely agree, Royals didn't accomplish their goal, everyone on the team would agree. Nice run but fell short, in their case 90 feet.

Well.... Dayton Moore wouldn't agree.

Morales is batting .326 in sept.... Hosmer is batting .255
Ventura has a era of 3.5 in sept.... Volquez and Cueto are both over 6 Medlen is at 5.03...
Davis era in sept is .90... Holland has a oh wait.. he is sitting in a doctors office right now about to have TJ..
Has anyone seen Herrera's ERA in sept? lol its a sparkling 6.48!! haahahahah

At least that Almonte kid looks like he will be good.. oh wait... no he doesn't ahahahhahaahah

Cherry picking is fun... I am glad you played the game with me Iffy.

The Tigers ability to sign 60 mil worth of free agents will save them...

yeah, nobody overspends on FA's errrr Simon, Nathan. 170m bought a last place team. Its about spending money, got it.

 

[Howie115]

yeah, nobody overspends on FA's errrr Simon, Nathan

Simon was acquired in a trade for Eugenio Suarez and Jonathan Crawford. He's making $5.5 million. Though I'm not a fan of his, a 13-11 record makes his salary a bargain by today's standards.

At least you're 50% right.

 

[da55bums]

I am going to come here tell you all about how I predicted the Royals will fail when they do... He is right about that.

always a fun one, 29 teams fail every year, good odds on that prediction. Any predictions about bats not having corks in them or baseballs being mudded?

 

[da55bums]

Oh Iffy... can you tell us all how the Tigers are one of the three biggest messes in the MLB? Would love to hear this one...

um predicted to win division and be a WS contenter, finished last in their division all while having the best hitter the last decade, 2 cy young pitchers and 170m payroll...yeah, them and Seattle contend as the biggest fails of the 2015 season.

Its really not a tough question.

Its really not a tough question.

Biggest mess implies its not just a one season down year... which it easily could be. Injuries to Verlander, Victor Martinez, Cabrera, Nathan, and Sanchez surely had a lot to do with the fact they were sellers at the trade deadline... And if they didn't sell.. their record would be much better than it is right now. Texas is a prime example of a big payroll team that had injuries last year and then bouncing back the next year... The Tigers can easily do the same. It can be argued that even Greene was injured as he was having nerve issues that made his fingers go numb which certainly could have caused him to go from lights out to hittable.

As much as you want it not to be.. Detroit is in better position to improve themselves next year compared to KC. They have the resources and flexibility to do so. Nobody had Detroit as a WS contender this year.... you are crazy.. division maybe.. but there wasn't anyone that had Detroit as a WS favorite going into this spring. KC is dying a slow death caused by increased salaries and dwindling prospects to call up. Hosmer could EASILY be traded at the deadline next year if the Royals aren't contending.. because they CAN NOT afford him past 2016. The inevitable fire sale in KC is coming... its just a matter of if its at next years trade deadline or after the season is done in 2016...

 

[MiamiVice]

A healthy season from Verlander/Vmart/Cabrera/Sanchez and 2 decent free agent starters and the Tigers are right back to winning the division next year.. and anyone that doesn't think that is a real possibility is lying to themselves.

Its really that funny? Verlander has not been on the DL before this year... neither has Cabrera. Vmart will have a year since his knee surgery... Sanchez is the only one with a real injury history... The only player out of that group that is older than 33 is Victor Martinez... its not like they are old. The team actually has one of the youngest lineups in the MLB.

They have plenty of money to sign two above average starters... so really.. what part of that is so funny? I find it funny that a Twins fan is posting something like this... Its not like your team has much in the way of help coming for your rotation... or bullpen... But keep laughing... In fact... keep laughing until your team can make it out of the first round of the playoffs... you will be the life of the party for a long time.

 

[MiamiVice]

Maybe the Twins can sign Nick Blackburn and Johan Santana this offseason to go with their signing of Tori Hunter... Heck... I think Morneau can be a free agent too.. might as well get the old squad together lol...

Yes, Tigers are a mess - there isn't a min years requirement dumbass. They spent $170m and got last place, they didn't spend that amount to "rebuild", that's a mess. The $170m tigers finishing last in the division when expected to contend is almost as bad as losing 119 with a shit team. Pretty sure that is the highest payroll team ever to finish in last place.

Tigers didn't die slowly, they just died.

2014- knocked out in 1st round
2015-in 3rd and under .500 when they "sold" weren't going to do anything before falling to 5rh

2015 team preview: The Detroit Tigers can still win the World Series
Dave Dombrowski expects Tigers to be contenders again in 2015

Just 2 of plenty that had Detroit and their $170m contending in 2015, hell even you said they were contenters guess that changed around 9 games out.

Miggy could be traded at the trade deadline as well next year if the Tigers suck again or Miggy's hitting starts to slide. Paying a guy MVP money to hit mid range numbers I guess is smart spending in your mind. Moustakas has more RBI's than Miggy, lol, still too funny not to repeat after you made such a big deal about Moose's rbi numbers. Shit changed when they moved him out of the 2 hole to the 6 hole didn't it, lol.

a few seasons ago it was Royals suck and will always suck, then it was Royals prospects are sucking and can't contend like they said, now its, well they will lose them they can't keep winning or afford anyone. Got ya, keep em coming the Royals just keep proving you wrong year after year. Like I keep saying, you can predict whatever you want, your track record speaks for itself-make enough "predictions" and your bound to be right at some point DougVice Sr.

lol, they even finished better than the $170m team. Looks like Tigers not being able to afford signing Tori was their downfall, lol.

LOL... NOBODY WAS PICKING THE TIGERS TO WIN..... OF COURSE DOMBROWSKI WOULD.

Jesus you are a clown.

 

[MiamiVice]

lol, they even finished better than the $170m team. Looks like Tigers not being able to afford signing Tori was their downfall, lol.

Tigers payroll isn't 170 mil moron.. they traded away 3 of their highest paid guys at the trade deadline... Do the math on that one...

 

[MiamiVice]

I swear to god... Bums has to be the biggest idiot I have ever seen post in regards to MLB. The guy used a article about how a GM of a team expected his team to win a WS as proof experts were picking the Tigers as World Series contenders... which they were not. Bless You Boys is a Tigers fan site... so once again... not hard to believe they would post something like that in the spring... Show me a unbiased person in the mainstream media that said Detroit would win it all.. it won't happen... None did.

Miggy could be traded at the trade deadline as well next year if the Tigers suck again or Miggy's hitting starts to slide.

HAHHAHAAHAHAHA HAHAHHAAHAHHA Seriously HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[MiamiVice]

Stupidest Shit Bums has posted

• relievers are in their prime in their late 30's
• moustakas has more rbi than miggy cabrera ( no shit.. miggy sat out 6 weeks and he only has 3 more ahahahahaahahahah)
• Tigers GM said the tigers should win the ws... so that means they were considered WS favorites

My god.. this guy is half a retard... Everything he posts here is diarrhea.

 

[MiamiVice]

might as well head over to the Tigers forum bums so we can continue this... Not like anyone is on here from the Royals fan base other than you... that 10-17 record in Sept seems to have silenced that fanbase. Only people posting on their side of the forum are Iffy and Bums... lol
