    Jenkins is 19.5 and will turn 20 in February. I think he will extend his stay at AA next year, ending the season in STP. He will debut at the beginning of 2026 or by June. Emm, the beginning of next year or by June. Keaschall's success depends on how his arm recovers and whether he can repeat it next year. He is right-handed, while Jenkins and Emm are left-handed, so he has that going for him. I wouldn't mind seeing him at 1B if his power continues to grow. I just don't want to rush Jenkins because he's going to be special when he's ready ..

    Only if he can start hitting over his weight in AAA
  3. saviking
    Well, they won't have to worry about that next year

    Now can we move Varland to the pen

    Did I miss the increase in salary due to arbitration in there? I piss people off every time I say this, but we don't have the salary to afford 37 million going to one player, especially when we have young players like Lee/Lewis to step in. You have to analyze it in terms of how much better Correa is, to say, a young developing Lee. Then compare that to what an extra 37 million is payroll would mean to the team. But it doesn't matter because Correa isn't going anywhere so let's just hope he can stay healthy and hope he performs like he did earlier this year. Will be interesting to see how many dislikes I get .. A bunch I'm sure

    Pretty soon, there might be a long line to get in the drive line. I wonder if they have a drive-through..
  7. saviking
    Guess I an see that if your pen needed a rest.

    Am I dreaming, or have Ober twice and Mathews once been left in until they gave up nine or ten runs in the first few innings? Is there a need for that? A learning season? Because it seems like too slow of a hook to me.

    Man, this Andrew Morris kid from Texas Tech is only 22 and has already made it to AAA with a spectacular ERA wherever he's been. He'll be in the majors next year for sure, so now we have Lopez, Ober, Ryan Festa, Mathews, Verlander, and Morris as starting pitchers. I suggest we try and trade Paddock away ..

    This is why I never liked the Correa signing. And it wasn't about Correa himself. It's because of the risk you take putting such a high percentage of your available funds into just one player, and even worse, if it's an older player with a very long-term contract. Would it be worth it if Correa had a 4.0 war every year and played 90% of the games? ABSOLUTELY But that's like putting all your money on number 8 at the roulette wheel and having them spin. Small market teams should never put themselves in that position. That said, we own Correa for the foreseeable future so here's to him coming back for the play offs and giving us 4.0 WARS until the day he retires.

    I call 10 away games with the three teams we are competing with for a wild card birth (KC, CLE, Boston): a come-to-Jesus month.
  12. saviking
    Well, next year we are stacked at position playes, stacked with starting pitching. The bread crumbs they let us spend in the offsean needs to go to relievers. After complaining about all the money we spent on Correa all of last year I promised I would not say anything this year unless he gave me reason to. Which he did not. But his lack of health is still a concern and he's only getting older. And I also blasted the front office all last year for not giving Larnach a fair chance ..
  13. saviking
    exactly! No one is going to claim him off waivers. You would need to negotiate with him like any free agent ..
  14. saviking
    Too early for that kind of talk .. Maybe someday if he can win a World Series ..
  15. saviking
    Because he's another left-handed bat
  16. saviking
    Left him in too long?
  17. saviking
    No
  18. saviking
    Next year, move Lewis to the outfield as a right-handed bat to more than take Margot's place. Move Correa to third to keep him healthy, Lee to short, Miranda to first base and I'll man second 😄
  19. saviking
    Sure, if you want to clog up the base paths. On the bright side he only hits a bit over 200 so you can't do too much clogging 😄

    So, about Killibrews hammer in Detroit. I was about 10 years old and my parents who lived in Corpus Christi at the time sent me to spend a couple months with my Grandparents who had a cabin on lake Minnewaska. My dad came up to take me home but while he was there I remember my Grandparents l, aunt and uncle, my dad and myself sitting around a small TV. RIGHT BEFORE THE NEXT PITCH MY DAD STOOD UP, POINTED AT THE TV and declared, I predict Harmon will hit a home run on the next pitch. And that's the pitch Killer hit it on the roof of the Tigers stadium. What a memory to have from your youth!

    As far as I'm concerned moving Varland back to the pen would have been a much better move.
  22. saviking
    Jay who?
  23. saviking
    Patience
  24. saviking
    The conundrum of analytics..
  25. saviking
    That also means we won't be going against another team totally healthy.. And what's to insure the guys we trade for don't get hurt.
