C'mon, Doug Fister.
Also, regardless of what happens, let this be the ONLY Tigers thread tonight.
This list is completely arbitrary and not a genuine analysis of the relative merits of state fossils.

the way this one is starting. Rangers get an early run and the Tigers batters looked pretty bad in the bottom of the 1st. They need a good start tonight.
Seems like the Rangers are getting some seeing eye hits, only one ball was hit hard. The Tigers hitters have to crank it up, and break out of their slumps or this series will over quick.

off of Fister were incredibly weakly hit. The way they did score their run is probably not a repeatable skill. Fister looks good so far.

Anyone know if there's a plausible alternative to Austin Jackson? I'm not a baseball expert by any means, but it seems to me whatever benefit we get from his legs is offset by his (recent, admittedly) offensive ineptitude.

Jackson was a streaky guy during
Jackson was a streaky guy during
the season as well. He was either really hot or really cold, not a whole lot of middle ground. I just hope a hot streak is coming soon. Despite his low average and high number of strikeouts during the season he still picked up a ton of extra base hits. I am not going to rail on the guy, he is still only a second year player trying to figure some things out.
And no there isn't a better alternative given the Tiger's injury problems and the fact that Jackson is the team's best defender and is the only guy with good speed on the team.

trade him this offseason for peter bourjos or denard span. possibly a package of ajax, andy oliver, and bruce rondon for span

Um no, AJAX
Um no, AJAX
is still a talented guy with alot of potential and is the most likely the best defensive center fielder in baseball. The guy is only in his second year, let's give him a chance to develop before we talk about trading him.
The better option would be to hold onto Jackson, and look for a more prototypical lead off guy in the offseason at another spot.
October 11th, 2011 at 9:12 PM |
sorry to tell you man but
sorry to tell you man but
ajax refuses to dive and peter bourjos is the fastest center fielder in the AL. to go along with that ajax can go from going 4-4 one game then not being able to hit a fucking beach ball for 2 weeks. if there is a guy throwing a fastball over 95 or has any movement forget about it, just have him bunt it and hope he can get on

Not sure if you have watched the Tigers all year,
but if you have you should know how good Jackson has been defensively. And none of your points refute what I said about being in his second year and still needing time to develop as player. I won't dispute that Bourjas is the fastest center fielder, but that doesn't mean he is better defensively, there are other things that go into being a fielder besides raw speed.
Bottom line, your overreacting by suggesting that the Tigers trade him after two years in the majors.

he's one of the best CFs in the game. that said, i wish he would learn to bunt with his speed. he never does. at worst, it would bring the corner IFs in, giving him better chance at ground ball hits.
