Tigers FO thread, Scott Harris Pres. of Baseball Ops,Tigers Hire Jeff Greenberg GM

It’s a big concern the lack of feel that Scott Harris has for the free agent market. Even if you want to be cheap, the amount of steals you could’ve gotten by spending just a LITTLE money is maddening.
Reds ownership is notoriously cheap, but they just got Eugenio Suarez for the same deal we gave Alex Cobb.

HARD CHOICES POLL #1 – THE LEADERS.
Totally Tigers

In recognition of the long holiday week that celebrates both Passover and Easter, we’re providing a quicker Detroit Tiger fix for our readers. After all, you’re either waiting for hours in line at the airport or scrambling to get ready for guests.
Every day this week, we’re offering new polls for you to cast your votes and have your say. But not just any.
They’re going to be tough. On purpose.
We’re going to give you 2 choices for each question. One vote only. No substitutions.
The first involves current and past GMs (or PoBO).
You’re going to evaluate each on:
  • overall performance of Front Office and hirings
  • minor league system, drafting, prospects
  • budget
  • roster building
  • evolutionary/inventive skills and strategies
  • achievements
  • where in the timeline of competitiveness the team is
  • level of talent vs results
The first candidate is Dave Dombrowski. Only consider the time period from his first day in Detroit as GM to the aftermath of the tear-down (2015 through 2021).
The second candidate is Scott Harris. Like Dombrowski, start your evaluations with his hiring to the current day and what you believe may happen in the near future given what you are seeing now.
Please vote for the GM/PoBO you feel has been (or will be) the best one for the Tigers.

Who is the better GM/PoBO?

1. Dave Dombrowski

2. Scott Harris

Tigers Hire Kyle Hendricks As Special Assistant.
MLBTR

Tigers hire former Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks as a special assistant.
Hendricks was the craftiest soft tosser of his era and has much to teach in terms of the art of pitching.
