Tigers message board chock full o' Neifi threads

[frostwyrm]

It looks like Cubs boards from 2005. Neifi is one polarizing dude.

ahahahhahahaha

 

i have one friend who's a big tigers fan and I've been making fun of him every day since that trade.

 

then he tells me about the tigers record :(

[frostwyrm]

I googled and found some more Tigers boards with multiple Neifi threads on the front page. I can't recall ever seeing a player with Neifi's ability to generate negative internet chatter.

the scariest post I saw in there was one that said "How about release Perez?" to which I immediately thought "then Hendry will resign him"

 

:shock:

 

pleeeeeeeeese God, for all that is holy, dont let that happen.

I thought the EXACT same thing.

Neifi is currently saving the Tigers in ways that go beyond the box score. Even though the Tigers are only 4-6 since the trade, they probably would have been 2-8 or 3-7 without him. Trust me, proven baseball people like Dusty Baker and Jim Leyland know.

 

(PS: Part of me wants to register to the Tigers messageboard and make obnoxious posts in defense of Neifi. But that would be trolling, wouldn't it?)

I'd be all over anyone who's playing every day with a .226 OBP and a .398 OPS. According to some metrics, Neifi had the worst season in the history of baseball a few years back. Could he eclipse that performance with this season's .263 OBP and .576 OPS ?

No, that would be entertainment.

He has a gold glove.

 

I've heard that those gold gloves can drive in runs.

The funny (or sad) thing is, that I read their comments and I relive their hopelessness and remember that I am not a part of it anymore.

Bynum == Dusty's New Neifi

WOW, that was fast.

 

 

Neifury is 5 for 29 so far in his tenure there and the Tigggers are 3-8

I'll taking having just Bynum over having both Neifi and Bynum anyday. I wish would get rid of both players but that's just wishful thinking.

All five of his hits are singles, I believe. So his slugging is below .200.

 

I follow the Tigers and I keep waiting for Leyland to wake up. The idea to get some defensive help for second with Polanco hurt was not all bad. But, to pick up Neifi's contract for next year was dumb. What's really, really bad though, is starting the guy and putting in the top of the lineup every other game.

 

Omar Infante is a much better player. But, he had a crucial error that cost them a game about a dozen games back and it seems to be clouding management's judgement.

[wade]

The Freep (Detroit newspaper) has two articles today that mention Infante playing more than Neifi from here on out. Seems Neifi took a grounder of his thumb in pregame drills yesterday and writers are speculating that it could let the non-wiley-veteran Infante back in the starting lineup.

everyone should go on there and vote "no" - for what has been mentioned already, what if he was available????????? Scariest thought of the day

 

p.s. - I do understand that that vote has no actual basis of effecting whether Neifi stays or goes with the Tigers.

He won't have nearly enough plate appearances this season to be as much of a negative to a team as he has been in the past.

so what are you saying Nefie doesn't have enough plate appearances, like Barret, to win the batting title? :roll:
