The 2013 MLB Random Thoughts Thread

I don't think the Tigers won.

Give up Mini Miggy to an in-division rival for a guy who has never had a higher trade value, all because Jhonny Peralta is about to get slammed pause.

Stop it. He was called mini miggy because they looked alike and were from the same country. NOTHING to do with talent. Garcia has never been in the Tigers long terms plans. You may have heard of a guy named Nick Castellanos.

He's a future all-star. I saw Castellanos play a series in Triple-A a few weeks, he was impressive, but I honestly thing Garcia is a future STUD.

Iglesias is a good pickup (mainly for his defense, because that .250-.260 mark in the minors is very hard to overlook). But even though it's not the Tigers' fault, they shouldn't have to be making this move.

Plus Tuiasosopo done passed up Garcia in the now-now. We tryna win, fukk potential farm talent. We tossed Andrew Miller and Cameron Maybin to the Marlins for a God and a broken ass Willis. If Iglesias becomes what his ceiling suggests, it will most definitely be a win.

Garcia looks nice, but been mad meek in a Tigers uni. Luh that kid, so hopefully a new uniform brings out the beast in him.

Garcia has not been that productive with the Tigers, so i have no problem with this trade. We all knew Peralta was juicing and now they've planned for the suspension.

dud on the Angels got traded right in the middle of the game tonight. They took him out of the game mid-way.

Deal With It

yeah even though they have the same build, garcias nickname was Avisingle by some. im sure he will turn out to be good but you dont worry about trading him to a bottom feeder in the division when you are trying to win now

we will have control over jose for a long time and he is a stud defensively so im good with that

Tiger fans;

Iglesias is an all universe fielder, but don't expect him to hit over .300 for you... his numbers may be a little fluky.

did the white sox even acquire the best prospect in the deal?

yes, although i'm shocked at how little the red sox gave up.

at Bryant Gumbel's face at 2:30, @3Rivers I wish you could turn that into a smiley

 

[The War Report]

yes, although i'm shocked at how little the red sox gave up.

That's because Detroit did that for them.

I hope

Did the Angels piss off the baseball gods?
