Battery is garbage with iOS 7 tho

Yeah I have an iTouch 5 and the battery went way down after iOS 7 was released. :/ I really like it though, especially how it displays music on the lock screen now, and you can adjust brightness without going to settings.

And dtigers, your opinion on the Fielder trade doesn't matter. Yeah... sorry about that.

I couldn't care less about Prince and Kinsler themselves. I'm honestly interested in how this affects Price/Stanton. It seemed as though the Rangers were the biggest contenders, but with Profar off the table, it seems as though they're probably out. Who's left after that?

I want to start a log because PPFan really inspired me but I'm pretty sure it won't last long at this time of the year.

Plus I don't like any of the teams.

Ehhhh, I don't know which team to use.

I might do a dream draft just cuz the teams get so screwed up anyways and I could draft people I like. But I prefer default rosters.

As much as I'm not liking this trade, I'll have to stop you right there with the GM comment.

Dave Dombrowski is one of the smartest GMs in baseball. Personally, I think this'll backfire, but he usually gets away with a lot of stuff on the trade market (see: Sanchez-Infante deal in 2012, Fister deal in 2011, Cabrera deal in 08), so it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Alright. I revoke the first part of that post, but I mean the second part. :D

Yep. The second part is what I'm afraid is going to happen.

He did solid last year, but he's currently a free agent now. Sad to say, he might not be back with us next year. Gonna miss him.

So, with Jhonny also being a FA not likely to sign with Detroit, the Tigers are losing (in terms of OPS) their 2nd best, 3rd best, and 5th best hitter for next year. Gonna be different in Motown next year, that's for sure.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on the trade, dish. Sure, Prince is a (kind of) good player, but his contract was weighing the entire team down. Now, after freeing up about $40 million, we have the cash to resign Scherzer and possibly Peralta/an outfielder. Additionally, with Cabrera moving back from third to first, a very solid second baseman in Kinsler, a future gold glover in Iglesias, and either Peralta or Castellanos at third, our infield goes from very poor (25th or worst) to well above average (6th-10th?) Fielder was decent at best last year, posting a 1.7 WAR, and his postseason stats were absolutely pitiful. Is he a good player? Sure. Would the Tigers be poised for a better 2014 had they kept him? Hard to say. But is he worth that ridiculous long term contract? *(censored)* not. The Tigers were set up to completely fall off the table after a couple more playoff runs, and this trade fixed that.

I was kidding. Zero asked for dish's thoughts on the trade but not yours.
