October 24, 201312 yr We really need Skip Schumaker. You guys simply don't understand the value of an undersized white guy who's played on winning teams. He's got heart and plays with hustle. A real grinder! I really do not have intentions to start an argument, but I don't know if I can agree with this, man ... I see him more as a hoagie. Can we agree on submarine?

October 26, 201312 yr Realistic signings... 1B * K.Morales is intriguing - power, lefty. Whether he can play 1B is the question. * Loney is also intriguing - a stud on defense and gives you OBP 3B * Chavez can be a cheap 1-2 year stopgap until Moran arrives - gives you defense and decent OBP ("Polanco-type") C * Pierzynski would get my vote - durable, gets on base * Trade one of the pitchers (Flynn, Conley, even Nicolino) for a young offensive-oriented ML-ready catcher Potential Lineup: Yelich LF * Chavez 3B Stanton RF * Morales/Loney 1B Ozuna CF Dietrich 2B * Pierzynski/[young ML-ready guy in trade] C Hechavarria SS
October 28, 201312 yr Author Need to get Donovan Solano and Hechavarria out of the starting lineup(preferably off the team really), however you can do it.
October 28, 201312 yr Need to get Donovan Solano and Hechavarria out of the starting lineup(preferably off the team really), however you can do it. the same solano who hits like .380 with RISP.
October 28, 201312 yr Author Or the Donovan Solano with a .621 OPS and only 17 XBH in almost 400 at bats, the one who has no power and doesn't draw walks.
October 28, 201312 yr Or the Donovan Solano with a .621 OPS and only 17 XBH in almost 400 at bats, the one who has no power and doesn't draw walks. not saying he should be a starter. good bench player.
October 28, 201312 yr Need to get Donovan Solano and Hechavarria out of the starting lineup(preferably off the team really), however you can do it. the same solano who hits like .380 with RISP. It was .316 in 2013 and his career OPS with RISP is .631 if we're going to start throwing out Solano facts and all.

Hes not even a good bench player. He can only play one position and he isnt even that good at that one position.
October 28, 201312 yr We really need Skip Schumaker. You guys simply don't understand the value of an undersized white guy who's played on winning teams. Imagine if we got Schumaker and some how got Punto. WS bound!

He was actually better at his position than Adeiny was at his Exactly, and he's really not bad at all [solano] on defense. Not sure what you have against him, honestly, Spike. You just seem determined to irrationally hate him. Offensively, you have a point, he's bleh, but defensively, he's not bad at all.
October 28, 201312 yr Author He may not be bad, but he is not good, either. He is mediocre/average. And his mediocre/average defense isn't enough to make up for how awful a hitter he is.
October 28, 201312 yr He may not be bad, but he is not good, either. He is mediocre/average. And his mediocre/average defense isn't enough to make up for how awful a hitter he is. Is he...dare I say...replacement level?
October 30, 201312 yr I actually would be interested in trading for Howie. 2nd baseman from the angels.
October 30, 201312 yr I actually would be interested in trading for Howie. 2nd baseman from the angels. Solid defense and solid bat at 2b... why would the fish want that?
October 30, 201312 yr I actually would be interested in trading for Howie. 2nd baseman from the angels. Solid defense and solid bat at 2b... why would the fish want that? Would be a great trade chip next July for some low-level prospects that will never pan out!
October 30, 201312 yr Another not so terrible option at 2b would be Daniel Murphy from the muts (reports are they are looking to trade him). He only has 2 years of arbitration left though so probably too expensive at this point
October 30, 201312 yr I actually would be interested in trading for Howie. 2nd baseman from the angels. If I remember correctly, he was going to be a Marlin had we completed a trade with the Angels for Miguel... Who else was in that rumor? Can't remember. Weaver?
October 31, 201312 yr MLB Trade Rumors indicates the Tigers won't be bringing back Brayan Pena. His splits against RHP (.801 OPS) suggest he could make a nice platoon partner with... say... Jeff Mathis, who can't hit righties to save his life but can actually hit a lefty or two. And he's certainly going to be a player within our budget. Thoughts?
October 31, 201312 yr That angels deal included howie, Mathis, Ervin Santana.. That's all I can remember.
October 31, 201312 yr That angels deal included howie, Mathis, Ervin Santana.. That's all I can remember. And the deceased Nick Adenhart. May he continue to rest in peace.
