Get Started.899 OPS, been a long time since we had someone post an OPS like that. The problem I have with the 3 studs they all strike out too much.Carpenter has 8 homers in his last 12 games.

Carp is just under 1 a game. Greene and Tork are over 1 a game. You play everyday that's a lot of k's. I'm looking at closer to 40 home runs .950+ OPS. Only because so many guys left on base/not moved up.I'm not a huge fan of strikeouts, but if you are hitting 30+ HRs with an OPS over .800, I can live with them.
Outside the Granny Carp struckout 3 times on some really bad pitches.The real trouble with the strikeout is there is no movement of a base runner. And there is no scoring as well. Base runners need walks, hits, or errors to move them. Few runs are scored by the stolen base.
As for Tork he really swings at too high of a pitch, out of the strike zone imo, He was trying too hard to hit a homer and struck himself out. He needs to work on working the count. Carpenter got a better pitch by taking the bad pitches and blasting a decent pitch. The pitch was a cutter that got to much of the plate and man was he all over it.
You worry about Minny but the Indians are still ahead of us. They suck and yet we're still in 3rd.
3 young guys in their 2nd years that took big jumps this season and still negativity. Again, Tiger fans are wild

I just threw them out there. Happy with the young guys but like Bob it gets tiring watching guys left on 3rd when a ball in play might have gotten him in.Those are some lofty goals. There was only one player last year with an OPS over .950 and over 40 home runs. There were only 3 players with an OPS over .950 period.

The thing that makes me think he's gone is the fact during the deadline he asked for another year at 20m to go to LA. If LA said yes he'd be there right now. My guess is he'll get a LT deal at 25m/yr. Minimum.I know E-Rod is a head case, and for financial reasons, he would be stupid not to opt out of his contract. But what if (A HUGE IF) he really does like it in Detroit. Would you add another year to the end of his contract, say for $25M, to keep him as a veteran at the top of the rotation?
