    So let's look at what we have for 2018:

    C: McCann
    1B: Miggy
    2B: ???? Kinsler will be 36 and there is an option/buyout on him
    SS: ???? Iggy is up for arbitration. Somewhere Dixon Machado is probably ready now.
    3B: ???? Castellanos or Candelario?
    LF: ????
    CF: Mahtook, probably.
    RF: ????

    At least two of JaCoby Jones, Mike Gerber & Christian Stewart are going to be forced into play in 2018. My bet is that one of them is serviceable, and one of them hits about .168. So we're an outfielder short. Don't bring me Jim Adduci or Alex Presley. We've seen enough #5 outfielders for a while.

    Rotation:

    Fulmer
    Zimmerman
    Uh......
    Uh......
    Ugh....

    That's what we're looking at going ahead, fellas.
    They could trade Fulmer for a haul and just punt until 2020-21

      If they trade Fulmer, this is a 7-10 year rebuild, and 120 losses are in play for next season. There simply isn't enough starting pitching in this system on the way yet.

        JV and his 50 million had to go. Lucky he came around the last month, or they would've been paying a significant chunk of that just to get rid of him. And yes, Fulmer could be next. Nothing but a complete rebuild makes sense. And for the next 2-3 years, if anyone gets hot they've got to trade him, too. Forget winning and enjoy the process, and just hope it doesn't take 20+ years.
        My hope for playoff baseball for now, is as a Twins fan.
        Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

            That's a fair assessment, but with Fulmer under club control for another 4 years, I do not trade him. There is NO starting pitching on the way in the immediate future. He's got to be the 29-30 year old ace when this rebuild is finished.

              Fulmer will be shut down for "a while", and he's going to go see Dr. James Andrews.

                  • So now, as a Detroit sports fan:

                    The Tigers are in for a long rebuild.

                    The Wings are in the middle of a 5-6 year rebuild.

                    It seems like the Pistons are in year 786 of their rebuild.

                    And the Lions have a ceiling of 10-6 and a first round exit.

                          Miggy's suspension is cut to 6. He'll start serving tonight.

                            At least college sports have a quicker turnaround.

                                SI has them finishing behind Chicago with 5 wins... I think 6 or 7 might be possible
