@confusion_reign@lionspedia@the_det_times Agreed, its hard to commit to player that long term but to sign aging free agency vets that have had the last few season hitting or pitching way below league average is absurd
@confusion_reign@lionspedia@the_det_times I’m not saying Harris started with scratch and to clear things I’m also not saying Avila was great. I think him and Harris are garbage. What I’m saying is that without Avila drafting those players mentioned early Harris would have nobody to develop
@confusion_reign@lionspedia@the_det_times Yes and I agree with you there. Those 3 guys named have been solid and are still working. But when you sign people like Kenta Maeda, Alex Cobb and even verlander to over 10 million contracts you are just throwing money down the drain.
@confusion_reign@lionspedia@the_det_times Because he simply isn’t going anything to give them help all around the diamond and in the starting rotation, framber has been ok and flaherty has sucked since they first traded him, other than there has been barely any pitching help.
@confusion_reign@lionspedia@the_det_times So who built the team then? Scott Harris himself? So what you’re saying is from low A all the way to the big leagues that since Scott Harris was brought in every single coach, manager, and front office person that developed those guys were fired or are now gone?
@confusion_reign@lionspedia@the_det_times It doesn’t matter how good they were when he was there. You’re now backtracking. I said Avila built this team and Harris took it over 😂. It’s like you’re arguing against me to say Avila didn’t build this squad and that Harris has done something valuable to it lmfao
@confusion_reign@lionspedia@the_det_times But are from the Avila era with a couple that aren’t on the team anymore and many more aquired via trade or free agency under Avila.
@confusion_reign@lionspedia@the_det_times This is just going off of Avilas draft picks. Vest, skubal, Greene, carpenter, torkelson, mize, meadows, briske, Keith, dingler, jobe, madden, hurter, manning, faedo and more that haven’t gotten more than a second of big league at bats. Couple names that aren’t great,
@confusion_reign@lionspedia@the_det_times Verlander, price, kinsler, Cabrera, jd and victor martinez, yoesnis cespedes, anibal Sanchez, nick castellanos, Shane Greene, Michael fulmer, could argue Justin upton, Matt Boyd. Could go on and on if I have to.
@confusion_reign@lionspedia@the_det_times That part is on nobody but Chris illitch so if Chris illitch owns the team and Scott Harris assembles the team I wonder who makes all the free agent signings, trades and roster moves. The front office that’s who, and who is the head of the operation. None other than Scott Harris
@confusion_reign@lionspedia@the_det_times Ain’t a managers fault, they can only what control what they can control. Scott Harris needs to go and it’s abundantly clear that he can not build a contending team that can’t get over the hump of the first round. The tigers owner is a billionaire and still refuses to spend.
@confusion_reign@lionspedia@the_det_times Is responsible and who is responsible for that?? SCOTT HARRIS. So good ahead let’s here your god awful take on who’s fault this truly is that the tigers have picked up anyone valuable the last 3 seasons he’s been in charge. It surely ain’t a single players fault. It surely ain’t
@confusion_reign@lionspedia@the_det_times And actually pitch well to get the tigers over the hump of the Americans league division series who then do we blame?? You could argue with players, the staff etc but they are all one person. One person can’t hit and pitch every single ball moron. The person that builds the team
@confusion_reign@lionspedia@the_det_times Nobody outside of those two players have done nothing. Avila started this rebuild and a decade of very terrible baseball in which he had no other option to do after dombroski left. So if Harris is still refusing to trade key assets to get us guys who can actually hit the ball.
@confusion_reign@lionspedia@the_det_times You’re an absolute idiot. Scott Harris has done absolutely nothing for this team and hasn’t built this team into shit. Avila built this team and Harris took it over, the only positive thing Harris has done was drafting mcgonigle and that’s about it. More than 50% of this roster.
