Trade Deadline
Good article. Kinsler was already reticent to make a position switch before and we saw how dangerous it can be to depend on a rookie from day one. I suppose it would be good in that the backup is ready to play if he fails. V Mart will be interesting. 2 years 12M per? Would another team do 3? If...- SouthOfMackinac

Report: Lions and Suh NOT close to a deal
It can't be ignored that Suh is the last of a very flawed drafting / compensation system. His salary is an anachronism and it will be his ticket away from a franchise that is historically one of the worst in NFL history. It is impossible for him to lose. Lions are my team but I don't ever blame...- SouthOfMackinac

Trade Deadline
I like the idea. I wanted them to go after Cespedes harder than they did. The island has some very talented players. The few that get out are likely to be good. I see no reason to trade Iglesias. Suarez or Iglesias takes Romine's role next season. Not worried about splits given the overall...- SouthOfMackinac

Tigers Top 20 Prospects
I think they are just high when I look at his numbers. Lots of walks, few strikeouts and gives up hits to lefty and righty - righty even more. MLB draft is still the most unpredictable talent selection process in professional sports.- SouthOfMackinac

Game 102 Tigers vs. angles July 27, 2014
I agree that offensive numbers and entrenchment factor in more than they should. It doesn't change the fact that the metrics we both like were the ones that illustrated clearly Ajax was a top three defensive CFer in the AL in 2011 and 2012. You hit a nerve because you insinuated the people who...- SouthOfMackinac

Game 102 Tigers vs. angles July 27, 2014
It's not me. It is how the gold glove is voted. The rules are clear. Games played at the position, which is why I was pedantic about the number of innings and using qualified numbers. Ajax was a nominee in 2012 and a justifiable one. You've been debating something you clearly didn't understand...- SouthOfMackinac

Game 102 Tigers vs. angles July 27, 2014
You're right on Span. My bad. I thought it was Mil not Min. Since 2011 the gold glove has gone by outfield position. That is why I have been breaking it down like that. Sorry for the confusion. http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22297882/31868304 "Instead of awarding a Gold Glove to...- SouthOfMackinac

Game 102 Tigers vs. angles July 27, 2014
Do you mean for the Angels? Couldn't agree more. Street was as advertised this season and moving Joe Smith to the 8th makes them a formidable late inning team.- SouthOfMackinac

Rushing and Winnings
Wasn't there a running back Green Bay passed on that we took? I remember he was pretty good. I forget his name. Retired kinda young. I can't describe how much I hated the Mike Williams pick. Demarcus Ware was my choice. He hasn't been any good though either...- SouthOfMackinac

Game 102 Tigers vs. angles July 27, 2014
No. Only if you take it as such. It is a fact that MLB managers don't post here. I wish they would. Your initial comment was a barb to anyone who considered Austin Jackson a Gold Glove potential in the past, was it not? I didn't take offense but I think I presented numbers that illustrate those...- SouthOfMackinac

Game 102 Tigers vs. angles July 27, 2014
We are in agreement here. I have been unimpressed with the Tigers running game all season. That's the biggest lie Impemba and Allen have been selling. Tigers 27th in MLB in BsR with a -7.3 (MLB leader Nationals at 8.2)- SouthOfMackinac

Tigers Top 20 Prospects
Travis had some difficulties early in the season but has been on fire for well over a month. It appears this team doesn't have a place for him anytime soon unless they sell high on Kinsler. Not that I think he'll be coveted with his contract and other teams thinking he's playing over his head...- SouthOfMackinac
