I'll give Javy the benefit of the doubt, just this season, if he was really playing injured the last 2 seasons, maybe... Just maybe he will actually be an asset to the team, if he eats shit this season, I'm hoping the team will do what's necessary.

Maybe Torkleson will be the RHH power bat, he's done it before. I'm not quite ready to give up on him. If Torkelson is on the MLB team and can do 30 hrs again and bat 240-250, everyone will forget all about Bregman.

There was a report that Sasaki had a deal with the Dodgers well before he was even posted, the fake interest in other teams was all for show.

Homerun totals a way off. Just be going on past production, of course it'll average out low, most guys on the team have only been in the league for a year or three. Factor in injuries too.

I personally think that Mize will do much better next season, if you look back, most pitchers coming off of TJ surgery adding Mize having back surgery, it usually takes a, pitcher at least a full season to get back into the swing of things. I'm calling it now, Mize will be a starter for Detroit next season.

Thayron Liranzo is going to be a stud player and might end up at first over catcher unless the Tigers can tighten up his game behind the plate. It'll take a few years but he's going to hit for a ton of power, 30-40 homerun power.

I thought 87-75 was a possibility, but would have been happy with a competitive and fun team to watch and route for. Yet we have a complete shit show night in and night out. This season so far has been an absolute failure, even if the finish the second half hot.

They'll get swept in Cleveland too, this team is the most maddening team I have yet to watch, even 2022, they were no doubt expected to be bad. The offense is horrible.
