Garbage in, garbage out.

Get StartedThe first line cracks me up "The Detroit Tigers bolstered their center field options." If anything though maybe he's cheaper but we're still paying on Gose unless someone picks him up. Which I think the chance is small.
We also traded Devon Travis straight up to get Gose.
So, for those keeping score at home...
Devon Travis + Cash + Player to Be Named = 27-yr old Mahtook
FYI....must be the top notch Tiger Analytics department at work.
Mahtook (27) vs RHP (AAA and above)
2016 (249 PA) = .306 OBP .327 SLG .633 OPS
2015 (338 PA) = .296 OBP .367 SLG .663 OPS
2014 (407 PA) = .332 OBP .411 SLG .743 OPS
I forgot which of the defensive metrics you like, DRS or UZR.
What is Mahtook's defense look like?
Why do I get the feeling I will be calling him Shithook during the season?

Can play all 3 outfield spots, cheap and under team control for a bit. Hoping he's not the teams full time answer at CF. As a piece though, not a bad get.
How many players do we have that are out options. And the Tigers pick up another question mark! IE can this guy even be a 4th OF with the troops we have now? This like spinning a top and guessing how long it will stay up. Any body guess has a chance. This guy makes the team scrap the farm system as it is worthless.
Now watch him go out and have the mother of all spring trainings.
So play him in Toledo and bring him up if needed. I really don't get why people are complaining about this deal.
