Lynn was such a downer as the Tigers crumbled down the stretch in '09. It got so bad I couldn't even bring myself to post a couple of splendid references. Then he started pulling a McCosky and doing U of M football articles and it got even worse.
Lynn seems to have ended his fling with those pesky Minnesota Twins and is back to blowing the Bengals in strange articles like this one.
A suggested list of hitters who might do more than 2009's numbers imply includes these gentlemen:
Yikes.
Scott Sizemore: Remember that each and every season, there's a trophy known as American League rookie of the year.
Lynn you fucking liar.
It goes to a first-year player who, coming into spring camp, was anything but a sure thing but who ended up playing very well.
I searched MLB.com and could not find that definition anywhere.
Ryan Raburn: OK, we get it. The Tigers are going to make Raburn earn the starting left fielder's job.
That sounds pressure packed.
...plus the Tigers understand Raburn isn't a guy who benefits from pressure.
Uh-oh.
Gerald Laird: He is a better hitter than .225 and four home runs in 135 games.
Gerald Laird 2009: .225/.306/.320
Gerald Laird career: .247/.306/.367
Brandon Inge: Ignore the weirdness of Inge's 2009 season and lay these numbers on anyone who assesses third basemen and hitting data: 27 home runs, 84 RBIs. Pretty good stuff, especially when you cover as much ground as Inge at third base.
Ugh.
I can't do it again.
Just go here
Now plan on a much better, much more consistent year from Inge at the plate in 2010.
Consistent. Sir Joseph Morgan would be proud. Brandon Inge is already incredibly consistent. He sucks year in and year out.
