  1. After all the rest he'll get this off season per Eppler, he'll be a speed demon next year.
  2. Doesn't matter whose pitching when you can't score 2 runs. Richards, and Skaggs will be fine next year mark it down on your calendar. I'm OK getting a #3 type inning eater with a >4 ERA.
  3. That's giving the Tigers even money to win each game with the Twins. I think the odds should be more 20/80%.
  4. I am going for the division next year, the wild card is a crap shoot. We need to win the Division and I think we can with a little from Eppler this off season.
  5. The Astros couldn't afford to spend big, so they had to draft players for what seems like an eternity. They were last place teams for so long it was embarrassing for them. They were a terrible team from 2006 until 2015. The finished more than 50 games below .500, 3 years in a row in order to get those draft picks. I for one just can't afford to wait that long. I doubt Trout will want play for a team that is doing what the Tigers and White Sox are doing. I doubt the Angels can afford to do that and keep their fan base intact. KC went through a 30 year rebuild and were very good for two years and now they will have to start over again next season. The Astros will be good for a 2 or 3 more years until they can no longer afford their stars and will trade them off for prospects much like the A's seem to do a lot. Also I think with a few good moves by Eppler this off season and our pitchers finally going through an entire season without major injures to key players, we will give Houston a run for their money without breaking up the core of this team.
  6. He will win the gold glove this year...platinum glove? Today gold is worth more than platinum.
  7. There isn't anyone better than Richards (if Healthy). I feel he will compete for Cy Young next year. He matched Verlander pitch for pitch and if he wasn't on a pitch count we may have won that game. Don't under estimate Richards.
  8. Richards if healthy is as good as there is in all of MLB. We need a middle of the rotation inning eater with an under 4 ERA. More than starting pitching we need offense from 2B and 3B next year with the ability to throw accurately to first base.
