Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2013 Thread

[adrian2]

really not seeing a trade for papelbon. The $$ owed papelbon will make it really impossible to sign Max as papelbon is signed through 15 ($ 12 mil a season) with a 2016 option. As much as DD said they plan on converting the CB pick who was the closer at Texas (most saves at texas since Houston Street) I see either Knebel or Rondon as the closer next season. Aside from this tigers are on his no trade list.

Rookie starter. Santiago and Kelly in the lineup (and .179 Avila). What more can Detroit do to try and give the Tribe one game in the series? Maybe send Cabrera to the plate without a bat? Have the Tigers play without gloves? (oops...some of them appear to do that all the time). If all else fails, and the Tigers are still ahead in the ninth....Valverde!

Ryan Raburn prediction: 2-4 with a HR and 2 RBI. He will strikeout twice but make a great catch in LF. The guy is a gamer.

Masterson has to be happy that we are giving him a handicap today

 

[adrian2]

not suprised to see the lefties in (kelly, santiago and avila) Masterson holding righties under 200 BA this season. It was odd to see the Injuns shift their ace masterson from saturday to sunday after learning that sanchez was scratched from Sundays start. Sounds like a team desperate for just one win. Indians now just 2 games from falling into fourth place.

 

[adrian2]

I just think we should have better lefties on the bench than 2 guys like kelly and santiago hitting below 200.

The idol of Cleveland fans everywhere.

Leyland loves his turds... Say what you want about the guy but he is very loyal to his turds

 

[adrian2]

at least garcia is getting most of the starts in CF. maybe he is realizing that you just can't start guys hitting under 200 everyday.

 

[Iffster]

When Jackson returns...Garcia to AAA. Kelly stays because of versatility. It will cause an explosion in the ranks....but it will be a good move to give Garcia everday ABs.

I wish that MoFo would hurry up and get back... We need him

HAHA JL calls the hit and run with Vmart on 1st and Kelly batting... It is official i think the guy is losing it

 

[kengel6]

What has happened to Jackson? I thought it was the 15 day DL, not brain surgery.

 

[aar000n]

And ratturd comes back and hits a hr.

 

[Iffster]

Raburn homers for second straight game! The guy is a stud.

 

[themuzzer]

Don Kelly is the real Stud.....He made his HR count. Way to go Don Juan.
