Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2016 Thread

glad i can entertain... did you happen to see the piston's trade that happened today?

Me too.

Yeah.

I liked Ilysova alright. Kinda figured Jennings would be on the move once he got healthy. A little redundant with Reggie.

Don't know much on the kid from Orlando at all. In all honesty I prolly haven't seen The Magic 5 times since they had Darko.

You think he helps?

He is 23 and super athletic. I trust SVG... The guy is building this team to look like what his Orlando Magic team that made the finals looked like. For what the Pistons gave up its a no brainer.

I don't think the Pistons are a real contender this year.. but with a super young core... They most certainly might be in a a year or so. The best part about it all is they have all their draft picks intact and will still have cap space next year even after giving Drummond a max deal.

I can handle super athletic.

I'm big on StanVan too. Won't be too long before they're competing for the East.

We'll see how this deal changes things, but I wouldn't have been surprised to see them win a playoff series so long as they don't get Toronto or Celeveland in the first round. (I don't know if this deal was for long term or now or both. But the bench got a little shorter for now.)

I think the deal is probably more for long term.. but to be honest... they are probably a better team now as long as they can replace the lost depth at PG.

Time for Steve Blake to earn his keep!

I think there has been plenty of criticism of the home team where there needs to be. Me thinking the Tigers will out-hit the Twins this year does not mean I think the Tigers will skate to the ALC title.

This is awesome -

Dan Dickerson is great... I don't get to listen to him as much as I used to. Used to listen to games on xm radio often... now I watch most of the games.

That's pretty sweet.

Dan and Jim have really grown on me over the years. They do a really nice job. Same with Rod n Mario.

I hope Morris stays with the Twins. Don't really care for him in game that much. Not as much as Rods goofy ass anyway.

The Twins highest BA from a player that played at least 100 games last year.... .267.

Mauer?

Ily could shoot, but could not create his shot or score in the paint along with playing dreadful defense. Harris can create his shot but is only marginally better at defense while being a much worse spot up shooter.. I personally think they should have gone after Markeiff Morris instead.

I don't mind Dan Dickerson at all. I just hate when he blows a load when the other team makes an out.

I liked him with the Pistons for what he was.

Still haven't had the chance to watch any Harris highlights yet.

Morris sucks. So does Gibson. I don't know how people can dislike Rod. I think the Tigers broadcasts are very watchable. If you tune into a game from another team you will understand how lucky we are. I watched a few Royals games last year while chatting with the old CBS Royals crew... and even they will admit their guys are morons. The White Sox broadcast is unwatchable. The Twins broadcast is super boring. The Indians I don't really remember. Red Sox broadcasters are super homer fans like the White Sox....

We are spoiled. Most fans don't even know how good we have it. Our radio team is better than the TV team.. but both are awesome.

Mauer?

Believe it or not.. Nope.. Mauer was .265.

Salary wise I might agree.. but the baggage and fact he is 3 years older and not really going to get any better is probably why they didn't make the move. Harris is only 23 and can still develop a better shot. Plus I don't know if its a good thing to have both brothers running around town in Detroit together..
