Let?s get deep into some draft and player evaluation discussion.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK.
Totally Tigers

It?s time again to hear from our readers! Today is the day to let us know what you?re thinking on a selected topic.

Sunday is the one day of the week where we open up the comment parameters for you, so you can get those juices flowing.

Comments on THIS DAY ONLY can be expanded to a maximum of 8 sentences.

We can?t wait to get your thoughts on the following topic.

Chris Ilitch has continued to financially support the Tigers? minor league players. How does this effect your view of him as the owner of the Tigers?
 
Andrew Miller is a member of the MLBPA?s executive subcommittee. I asked the St. Louis Cardinals southpaw for an update on where things stand from his side of the negotiating table.

?Players have always shown the desire to play, and to play as many games as possible,? Miller told me on Friday. ?I can?t overstate that. Health and safety remain legitimate concerns ? even as recent events in the country have dominated the news coverage ? and if we can?t figure that out, there is no season. I think we are close on the medical protocols. The economic discussion is an entirely different story.

?We made an agreement in March hoping to expedite the process when the time for baseball seemed imminent. Players proceeded under the assumption that both sides wanted the maximum number of games. Unfortunately, despite a lot of public positioning from MLB, the process has dragged along at a slow pace. It now appears that MLB?s intentions all along have been to play as few regular-season games as possible. MLB has taken the stance that unless we break the agreement from March and accept a pay cut, they can dictate a short season. While we can appreciate the sacrifices required under the circumstances of this pandemic, MLB has only offered options that will hurt players in the long run. Players are determined not to abandon our principles and step away from what we believe to be a correct and fair agreement.?

What comes next?

?As for the economics, I?m not aware of anything at the moment,? said Miller. ?It?s the unfortunate reality we face. I know it?s a broken record at this point, but we want to play. And we want to make sure that message is getting out loud and clear.?

This past Thursday I ran a Twitter poll asking ?If no MLB season is played because of a financial impasse, who is most at fault?? The options were 1. Players, 2. Owners/Commissioner. A total of 2,261 people voted, and the results were as follows:

Players: 6.7%
Owners/commissioner: 93.3%.

MLB proposes 76 game season, less than prorated salaries.
Players would receive 25 to 35 percent of full salaries.

At this point, I hope they don't come to an agreement. Cancel the season and let both sides suffer.
