  • Andy Dirks advances to AAA

    “The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying. But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'

    Pretty quick rise through the ranks for Dirks! I hope the tigers see all the intangibles he brings to the field and call him up next year.

      Next year how about a September call up.

        That would not be out of reach.

          Great start for Andy at AAA.

          In his first 9 games, he's hitting .395 ( 15-38 ) with 6 2Bs and a dinger.

            He's making his case pretty well it appears.

              Tigers cut Johnny Damon to make room for younger players. Andy Dirks? Maybe

                The Tigers put both Damon and Inge on waivers Thursday, yet both are in the line-up and playing right now. Is this common?

                    I don't think it's uncommon at all. I believe they have 10 days to clear so you might as well keep playing them until you can do something.

                      the waiver wire is nothing more than a "want ad" if you will. If they get claimed they have so much time to work out a deal.

                      Teams can always pull them back if they want.

                        My wife is contemplating placing me on the ‘waiver wire’; however she’s concerned there’ll be no offers. :D

                          Well there is always the option of a DFA or just give the out right release :D

                            aaaaaaand Dirks pulls his right hammy.



                            Crappy timing, as he was in the mix for a call up.
