Barring him gettingb hurt

I think he'll be on the Sox this season..before September. Not that I think he's going to be effective in the bigs but it's a good bet that one of the Sox starters gets hurt or Contreras/Floyd is so bad they get moved to the pen. I think Broadway will do well enough in AAA that he'll be the one called up. Too bad Egbert got hurt.

Fields is playing well now

If Thome's injured it's nice to have him ready to step in.

2007 preseason Thome comments from baseball prospectus

...Thome`s numbers speak for themselves, and the Peoria native looked as natural in Chicago as mustard (not ketchup!) on a Vienna Beef hot dog. That said, Thome has one of the more bipolar PECOTA profiles around. Half of his comparables, such as Willie McCovey, remained productive into their forties, while the other half, such as Jose Canseco, got injured one too many times and fell off the face of the earth(my emphasis). Then you have Frank Thomas, who has done a little bit of both. Both Thome and Thomas are as likely to hit 12 home runs this year as they are to hit 40.
====================

Here's his comparables from baseball reference:

1. Jose Canseco (886)
2. Carlos Delgado (871)
3. Manny Ramirez (860)
4. Juan Gonzalez (858)
5. Mark McGwire (834)
6. Duke Snider (834) *
7. Willie Stargell (832) *
8. Albert Belle (822)
9. Jack Clark (816)
10. Johnny Mize (814) *

Canseco, Juan Gone, McGwire, Albert - they all went vanished virtually overnight. Keep your fingers crossed for the Thomer, I got a bad feeling.

Click here for the scoop. We'll have this fixed as soon as we can.

FWIW their #1 is Cliff Johnson. IIRC he dropped off a cliff (nyuk nyuk)

I never said Cabrera couldn't hit

I said his defense is weak. Hitting is streaky, defense is pretty much a constant. It's readily apparent OCab's defense is average at best.

Thome's got some major issues, he hasn't slumped like this in the new millenium.

I think it's a little early for panic

It's a rather small number of games to decide Thome can't hit anymore. Most of his bad comps stopped hitting because they got hurt. IF Thome is healthy, I expect an acceptable year.

Honestly I was gonna say this before the hit

but I was chompin on some Bacci's

Why exactly was Verlander pitching to AJ, a hot hitter with good numbers against him?

Jimmy stepped out to pick up a pack of Reds

Came back wondering the same thing.

tigers bullpen has been absolutely abused
