Of course he a better hitter I don't know if Frazier the type to go oppo?). Starting to look like dominate postseason pen if they can get in..

    Get ready for Detroit fades all the way through Labor Day.

    Tigers on sale.

    Don't let that 5 game winning streak fool you. They have a bunch of clowns playing now.

    Rick Vaughn's Cleveland Indians could probably play better.

    Tigers still have plenty of capable bats. Jd Martinez being out of their lineup doesn't make them all that much different of a team. Not that they were good before dumping him but thinking that somehow makes them a instant fade is silly.

    I'm not judging this on JD Martinez absence. Detroit is trying to rebuild. And they absolutely suck.

    They let any other key player go... and it's clearly over. Cabrera... Verlander.... Upton.

    I hear ya, they certainly not good just saying dumping Martinez doesn't make them all that different day to day. The reason I don't play on tigers much is cause their pen scares the shit out of me.

    I doubt they have this big fire sale, they honestly don't have a lot of desireable guys. Nobody wants those contracts and as seen by Jd deal rentals not bringing back a ton of value.

    Cabrera/Verlander Too Expensive

    Maybe Justin Wilson, Upton, Castellanos gets moved
    Wilson has best trade value

    Manager looks like toast at the end of the year, though

    Tigers had a great run for a handful of years. Team has to be completely changed now. Keep Verlander though.

    I love Verlander, but why?

    Feel the same way about Cabrera.

    They're two of my all-time favorites, but I'm not an 11-year-old fanboy. This is a business.

    Dump 'em.

    the way i see it, its not our money ok. its that little caesars bread, pun intended. Miggy brings the crowds out. Miggy is one of the greats all time not just in tigers history but in mlb history. he will have a statue out there one day. i want to see him finish his career in Detroit. He is still a feared hitter and can still produce.

    Do you care about winning or not?

    Again, have you not watched his at-bats this year?

    So let's just keep them if we don't get this mythical haul (hate to break it to you, but they won't be worth much on the open market), so that their toxic contracts become more toxic, they keep getting older, and the Tigers keep getting worse in the process. Brilliant.

    one man doesnt make a team. we can continue to get better around cabrera. maybe i just love miggy too much but i want to witness his final game in the old english D. just saying. but i will take a nice haul of prospects for him but not garbage

    This Detroit Tigers club could accidentally turn into like a Jeff Weaver and Bobby Higginson era again.

    Ilitch just turned over in his grave.

    Had more home runs (4) in the game than the Dodgers had hits. (3)
    I was on Arizona like Oprah on a honey glazed ham.

    Arizona +157

    What Einstein makes a team on a ten game winning streak, with a lineup like that, with Robbie Ray an +157 underdog.

    Christmas in September is all I have to say.

    Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder J.D. Martinez put on a show Monday night when he launched four home runs in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Arizona cruised to a 13-0 win on the back of his power, with the whole baseball world — and apparently the other Arizona professional teams — taking notice, including Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson.

    Peterson has had more than four interceptions in a single season only once in his six-year NFL career.

    Unlike his baseball counterpart that can merely be walked, Peterson can continue to rack up the picks during a game.

    Not only is a four-interception game from a quarterback rare, it’s even rarer for a defender to achieve the mark. Only 14 previous players have ever achieved the feat in NFL history.
