BYB 2009 All-Star Game Thread

Will Curtis Granderson hit another home run in St. Louis, as he did back in June, during tonight's All-Star Game?

Will Curtis Granderson hit another home run in St. Louis, as he did back in June, during tonight's All-Star Game?

Tonight in St. Louis, we get some national affirmation for the Detroit Tigers' first half of the season, with four players wearing the Detroit road greys on the American League All-Star team.  We don't know how much either Curtis Granderson, Brandon Inge, Edwin Jackson, or Justin Verlander  will play, though I suspect there's a much stronger chance we'll see the Tigers' position players than pitchers, but who can say for sure?

Inge might get a little more playing time at third base tonight, now that Tampa's Evan Longoria will not be playing in the game because of an infected finger.  Texas' Michael Young will get the start tonight.

Hey Ian, didn't you give away a prize for All-Star predictions last year? 

Yes, yes I did.  But that was when the Tigers had only one All-Star, Carlos Guillen, and it was easy to take guesses as to when he'd play, what he'd do, etc.  It's a little bit different with four Tigers in this year's contest.  We held a meeting this morning at BYB HQ and tried to figure out something fun, but no agreement could ultimately be reached. 

The American League has won six straight All-Star Games, and if you factor in the 2002 tie, they've gone 12 straight years without losing.

I love Brandon as much as the next person

but why does he get mentioned twice and Verlander ignored?

by NCDee on Jul 14, 2009 7:21 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

LOL

I just read at MLive’s Tigers coverage that Verlander will only pitch in extra innings.

That’s surely what Ian was thinking, right? ;)

I'm going to go nuts if Wakefield pitches.

How did he earn a place on the roster, other than being a baseball fossil that hasn’t gone before?

by StringTheory on Jul 14, 2009 7:29 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Joe Maddon is on record saying Inge would not be opposed to catching...

…but seriously, the boy’s earned the right to man the hot corner.

There's talk about how Inge's versatility could work against him.

But I believe Figgins can play the outfield as well as third base, correct? So wouldn’t he have a similar versatility (with the exception of catcher)?

http://tigersamateuranalysis.blogspot.com

Chone can play the bench just as well!

He can play second too, I believe.

So there you go.

Put Inge at third base and save Figgins for those “just in case” scenarios. He’d make a hell of a pinch-runner as well.

This baseball

exhibition</strong> is nothing more than a popularity contest. The guys who have the bigger names will be the ones seen in the most innings. I would like to see our Tigers out there. Maybe we’ll get a glimpse. I look for JV and Jackson to each to pitch an inning – maybe. And They would do well to put Brandon at 3rd for a minute.

Kurt, just read your interview with Henning. Good stuff. My only complaint is you didn’t inquire as to his favorite beer. He opened the door several times, you just wouldn’t come in!

But that might be the catalyst needed for a hard salary cap, which I am in favor of.

I don't like that the Yankees don't have to live with mistakes

26 other teams pick a bust and they suffer for years. The Yankees do it and then dump him and spend even more.

Granted, if I were a Yankee fan, I wouldn’t want a cap either.
