The guy is 40. He's got absolutely nothing left on his stuff.

How many of those were 40?

This feels just like the start of the 2014 seasonall over again insert name here I-- K--sl-r.

I felt like I was on an island taking a beating for rooting for one of my teams players.

Here we go again!

You don't have to though. What has he done that has impressed you in a Tigers uniform other than implode?

You've seen Soria pitch. He's getting paid a good amount. Why can't he close?

 

[stonecold2136]

Soria in the 8th Nathan in the 9th if Nathan can return to his 2013 form. Our bullpen will not be gassed once September 1st comes. We could also put away games by the 8th inning.

Just my 2 cents, but I don't want Nathan out there with 3 outs to go in a save situation just trying to see if he can return to 2 years ago form. Verlander was our Ace/opening day guy 2 years ago, but we moved on, because he's not as good as he was and not getting any younger, that goes triple for Nathan.

At this point, it's obvious Soria is the better arm. The only question with Nathan as far as I'm concerned, is can he do well enough to set-up, or should he be shown the door all together?

Nathan's 2nd half stats were not that bad. Sure he had a terrible 1st half. I still think he has some fire left in his blowtorch

It's funny how many here need to see a player follow up a breakout year with another good year to buy in, yet as soon as a guy has one bad season he's finished?

 

[jas5lf]

He is probably my least favorite Tiger in a long time. I wish they would just get rid of him.

He's not a Tiger....he's a pos Twin and always will be. I hope his injury is career ending.
