Fanning 10 in 5 innings in a season debut like that is impressive.
It's more now of a question, when will he be full stretched out...
Not really likely.. Each of the next three Mondays are "off days" with six games, Tuesday through Sunday, following.. So, the rotation of Bieber, Bibee Allen McStix Civale would be needed to cover at least five of those games..He's gotta be pretty close. He threw 79 pitches today. Should be ready for 100 by start three I would think. Might be nice to give him an extra day for a while though, just to be careful. Same with Civale, so I won't be surprised if they work a 6th starter in if off days don't do the trick.
Yes and it's not even close. There is a legit argument that Arias is the best SS in the organization. The problem is they have nobody else that can play a utility role as well as he can. They do have a couple of good SS like Rocchio, Gimenez and Freeman though, so it wouldn't be like keeping Amed there.Isn’t Arias a better SS than Freeman as well? Why we keep playing the worst of the SS options available at such an important defensive position is interesting. Even Gimenez is a better SS.

He is a Cat at 1B.I know we all want to see Arias more at SS , but he plays a dam good 1B he might have save us the last 2 games with his glove…….
I know the division sucks but get us into the post season with how I think this staff can develop an I will gladly take my chances. TMac. Bibbe. Allen. As my three starters. I am goodDetroit loses 6-2 on a walk off grand slam.
We are tied for second.
I don't know if anyone noticed his footwork on that play where Lewis went ass over applecart, but I don't know if we have another 1B that can adjust that quickly.I know we all want to see Arias more at SS , but he plays a dam good 1B he might have save us the last 2 games with his glove…….
He's like having a GG 3b at 1b. The Human Shift with his range there. Enables team to build a righty heavy rotation.I know we all want to see Arias more at SS , but he plays a dam good 1B he might have save us the last 2 games with his glove…….
