    2 times in 2016. 37 in AA and about 56 other times. I'm not saying he should permanently move there but injuries cause players to move around.

    I don't get Morrison playing on defense. Put Kepler at first until Mauer is back and Cave or LaMarre in right. This way we still have quality defense. I like Grossman. I like his approach but he should not be in the outfield and Morrison should be the main DH. I think Grossman has to go. I don't feel good about it, but we have too many constraints with him and Morrison. Molitor/Falvine need to stop compromising the lineup to fit the right vs left left vs right strategy. That's fine when your players are more balanced, but with so many players out, we need to field the best players we can. We are missing some good bats. We should be filling in with better defense.

    With the major league outfield banged up, I would like to see Wade come up. He takes professional at bats and would be a definite upgrade over Grossman or Adrianza in the OF. LaMarre should be playing over Grossman in the outfield, as well.

    Niko Goodrum has been playing well for Detroit, thus far (2 or 3 games).

    And Trevor Hildenberger pitches yesterday.

    I love this move. This isn't a pitcher that had 1 good year 3 years ago. He was dominate for a while. This will be his last chance to put himself in a position to make money for a few more years. He finds it again, you have a front line starter for 5 million. Assume we still sign or trade and we end up with this for a rotation: FA/trade piece Santana Berrios Sanchez Gibson/Mejia/prospect That would be great. It's worth the no risk.

    I find it kind of silly that Thorpe isn't a top 5 or at least top 10 prospect in our system. When on the field, he has done little to warrant a slide. If it is a health thing then you would think Romero would sit lower too. He has missed 2 years and at 22 is already at AA. It is possible he would have received his first cup of coffee this last season if he didn't have a delayed surgery and mono. Rankings are just rankings and they are fun. I always look forward to them and love the debates about them. I just don't get the hesitation of putting him back where he was pre(vacation). He seems like a fair bet to be a pretty dominant lefty. There just aren't alot of those around.

    If Gonsalves doesn't have impressive stuff, doesn't have velocity or spin, and has trouble throwing strikes how in the world does he have the numbers he has?

    Even better than giving up Burdi. I like the trade.

    Gore

    Everyone talks about Greens bust potential. Isn't that moreso as a pitcher? He could bust as a pitcher but still have upside at short, no?

    I just struggle to understand how Dozier seems to have such little trade value. DeLeon does not really blow anyone away does he? I mean he looks like an OK prospect but they don't always pan out. Dother has hit 20+ homers several times in a row now. I don't get it.

    Alex Kirilloff has hit in all 8 games. 3 of them he has had multiple hits. Alex has 18 total bases in 29 at-bats. He has 3 strikeouts but hasn't walked yet. Not a bad start to his career!

    Ryan Eades to bullpen and Felix Jorge promoted. Problem solved.

    I think it could be noted that Gonsalves had a line of: 3.2 innings 2 hits 1 walk 1 run and 8 strikeouts before being unable to get the final out. I'm not worried about his stuff translating to this level. He will be fine.
