kilroy69 995 Posted May 8, 2014 Justin masterson is Jekyll and hyde this year. He was superb this outing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy69 995 Posted May 13, 2014 Jose Fernandez is out for the year due to an arm injury. If you want someone to speculate on that will take his place I would suggest Andrew Heaney. The fish do not normally care about service time issues because they are going to trade their players before they reach arbritration so there should be no issues about service time. he is 3-1 with a sub 3 era and almost a k per inning. He has a deceptive delivery that keeps hitters off the ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroy69 995 Posted May 13, 2014 I doubt it would be months. the super2 cutoff is coming up pretty soon and if he is not up by then I am pretty sure he will be called up after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroy69 995 Posted May 15, 2014 No one would give a guy like that a monster deal! Signed - NY Yankees, LA Angels, LA Dodgers I disagree. Especially with the tv constracts some of the teams are signing. The angels have already shown they are willing to spend. Poopholes,hamilton,trout. Adding him would have been very seeable for them. Miggy got a long term sweetheart deal because illiach is gonna die before the contract is up and he wants a world series to justify his return on baseball. If it gives the tigers a chance at a world series 3 times in the first half of his contract it will not matter what he does in the second half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CantTouchThis 23 Posted May 16, 2014 I can see he has absurd numbers to this point, but I don't know much about Tanaka. How many pitches does he have? How many plus pitches does he have? Does he have a really deceptive delivery ala Scherzer? Anyone else think he is going the route of Dice-K and will have a couple monster years then the league will figure him out and he will fade into obscurity?

I do not own the hoodie. Last couple years they have a game thats like $25 for an upper box ticket and a pair of zubaz. The whole family goes and they all love the pants, except I am really the only one that wears them in public. As far as last nights game goes, why the FOCK is don kelly batting 5th and playing CF. I havent been critcal of anything Ausmunch has done yet, but this crap needs to stop. don kelly should not be playing in the major leagues, let alone batting 5th and playing CF for the best team in the league.

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted May 20, 2014 My questions were "why leave a struggling Smyly in with runners at the corners" and then "why let Coke pitch to a righty with the go ahead run on 3rd?" I was being absurdly generous. He had used up most of the bullpen arms over the weekend, and since Dombrowski has somehow failed to provide adequate relief pitching options (in spite of a drafting strategy that resulted in spending 9 of his first 10 picks last year on relief pitching prospects) he was left in a bad spot. But once that go-ahead run was on third, with a righty batting, it was Jim Leylandish to leave Coke in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crackattack 513 Posted May 23, 2014 Justin masterson is not even startable anymore. He wants out of Cleveland. He's tanking in hopes of being traded. Just my thought on it. He refused a pretty decent contract, at least it was rumored around 14 million a year. He wants out. Trade him for prospects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unsure. 3B - spent time on DL LF - spent time on DL CF- been hurt There are more. Opening day starter out as well. Guy they hoped to be closer. Etc. I've honestly never seen anything like it.
