Detroit Tigers 2020-2046 Dynasty

BatboyGM · 05-15-2023, 09:23 PM

Hello all and thanks for stopping by for a little piece of alternate Detroit Tigers history. My goal was to create a contending team by 2025 that could become a dynasty. So, how did I do? First I will give a snapshot of my entire tenure then break things down by season.

Win 2378(5th all-time) Loss 1901
Playoffs 20 (17 consecutive)
WS titles ? (Stay tuned)

Ok, so there was some success there but did they ever manage to bring home the big prize? Let's find out.

Coming in to the job I had given myself 6 years to be on track for a trip to the big dance in the WS but would the owner be so patient? Only just barely. When looking at my roster I found very few players that were going to fit the style of Tigers baseball I wanted to bring to Detroit so I immediately got on the phone and started wheeling. Notable outs and ins:

Out- CJ Cron, J. Schoop, A. Romine, M. Fulmer, M. Boyd, R. Mountcastle, M. Manning.

In- C. Pache, B. Taylor, D. Johnson

Roster
C- E. Haase/G. Greiner
1B-F. Swindell
2B-H. Castro
3B-J.Candelario
SS-N. Goodrum
LF-T. Demeritte
CF-C. Pache
RF-V. Reyes
DH-M. Cabrera
bench-D. Lugo
bench-C. Maybin
bench-J. Jones

SP-D. Norris
SP-I. Nova
SP-J. Zimmerman
SP-C. Mize
SP-T. Alexander
P-B. Farmer
P-G. Soto

P-R. Garcia

P-B. Garcia

P-J. Cisnero

P-D. Mckay

SU-J. Jimenez

CL-N. Blackwood

Season Summary:
Win/Loss 48-114

RS 615 RA 884
HR 118 HRA 247
BB 410 BBA 535
SO 1466 K 1211
SB 55
BA .244 ERA 5.29

Not much to say about this season, as expected a total disaster. Needless to say I had a lot of work to do in the offseason but where to start? Offense, defense, and pitching are in need of major help.

Offense- As the numbers show, very little to be happy about here. Very little contact or power, low walks and too high a rate of SO. No real path to improvement with this bunch and only V. Reyes and C. Pache have any real upside potential for the future. Good thing I picked S. Torkelson in the draft. Victor Reyes was the only semi bright spot with a .289 avg, 49 doubles and 19 stolen bases. This topped out WAR list at 2.1. Yikes

Pitching- If scoring only 615 runs isn't bad enough, how about giving up 884? And don't blame the defense, I didn't have the Justice League in the field! Just like the offense, this is a total disaster. Everything was just real bad, being a net minus in HR, BB, and SO differential just for starters. None but C. Mize have any real chance of sticking around for the good times.

Defense- The best part of the Tigers and that was still only good for a team ZR of -5.1 but I have seen worse. A key philosophy of the Detroit Tigers will be that bats have to come with gloves too so this will hopefully be a relative strength by 2025

Looking Forward: Very few standout prospects and a team of bad players means trades and the rule 5 are my future.

Offseason Moves:
Out: FA- I. Nova SP, J. Kipnis 2B, J. Zimmerman SP, J. Mercer SS, B. Farmer RP.
Trade- R. Greene OF

In: FA- A.Castro RP, T. Walker SP
Trade- G. Arias
Rule 5- M. Kasowski RP

See you in 2021
