00:00So, we're doing second half Detroit Tiger bold-ass predictions.
00:04Give us something that you think is going to go down in the second half of this season.
00:08And I want to be clear, I have made a strong case for why I want one extreme or the
00:14other.
00:14A heavy buy or a heavy sell.
00:18And I believe that.
00:20But it's predicated on a hot enough start in the second half.
00:25So, here are my Tiger second half bold-ass predictions.
00:30The Tigers will go 8-8 leading up to the deadline and trade Scooble and Kyle Finnegan to the Braves
00:38for 21-year-old right-hand relief pitcher Didier Fuentes,
00:42the No. 43 prospect in the game left-handed pitcher Cam Caminiti,
00:47and the Braves No. 9 prospect shortstop John Gill.
00:51Now, the Braves use Fuentes, which is why I'm throwing in Finnegan.
00:58Fuentes is 21 years old.
01:00He's been very effective.
01:01You're trading in an aging reliever for a young reliever.
01:04You're getting a top-pitching prospect in Caminiti and perhaps a useful player down the road.
01:10I think Gill is at high A.
01:12Tigers would have to pick up half the salary for this because the Braves have a bit of a contract
01:17at TV.
01:17They don't have a good TV deal, and so they probably won't want to take on all the salary.
01:22I ran this trade past Jimmy.
01:26Big Georgia guy.
01:27Georgia Jimmy.
01:28Braves guy.
01:29And he said, that stings, but I'd do it.
01:33And he said, of course, it's supposed to sting.
01:36That's how trades usually work.
01:38Yep.
01:39Give a little, get a little.
01:41I just figured, look, I'm not convinced they're going to get off to the requisite hot start necessary.
01:47And if they don't, then I'm all about trading Scooble, and there's your return.
01:52You get a reliable young bullpen arm, a very promising pitcher, and another kind of throw-in, but we'll see
01:59what happens there.
02:00I hate to go out Gator on you here.
02:01Yeah, go ahead.
02:02But I'm going to since Gator's not here today.
02:04Sure.
02:05Did you just name three former celebrities in that trade?
02:07Ken Caminiti, Daisy Fuentes, and Johnny Gill?
02:11Didier Fuentes, but no.
02:15Seriously.
02:16It's Cam Caminiti, his son.
02:19Okay, Daisy.
02:20Yeah.
02:21So, no, I didn't name the-
02:22And then Daisy Fuentes.
02:23Didier Fuentes, yeah.
02:24And then Johnny Gill.
02:26Johnny Gill is a- that is direct, yes.
02:31Johnny Gill, the former late ad to new addition.
02:34Was that after Bobby Brown left?
02:36Really good, too, by the way.
02:37Johnny Gill?
02:37Yeah.
02:38Underrated.
02:39Great, Johnny Gill.
02:40Yep.
02:41Caminiti's- it's Caminiti's cousin, not his son, by the way.
02:43Oh, okay.
02:43I'm sorry, my bad.
02:44All right.
02:45And Fuentes is no relation to Daisy Fuentes.
02:47Well, Didier Fuentes, maybe, but I doubt it.
02:51I believe he's from the Dominican.
02:54Okay.
02:55Which Daisy Fuentes might be.
02:57Dude, Daisy Fuentes is like old.
03:01Oh, she's on MTV VJ, like when they actually played music videos, right?
03:05Yeah, yeah.
03:07How old do you think Daisy Fuentes is now?
03:09Oh, God.
03:1160?
03:12I was going to say 59.
03:14She's a Cuban born, so not-
03:18Uh, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, Daisy Fuentes is 59.
03:23There you go.
03:24Well played.
03:25Who needs Gator?
03:25I'm here.
03:26Yeah, that's right.
03:27Playing the role of Gator today, Kang.
03:30Bold-ass prediction number two.
03:31Gleyber Torres gets dealt to the Red Sox for 22-year-old outfielder in AA, Miguel Blaze.
03:40Hey, Blaze at one point was considered a better prospect, might have lost a little steam in that organization, but
03:47they would be interested in Gleyber.
03:49And my final bold-ass prediction for the second half of the season, Justin Verlander starts the final game of
03:56the season at Comerica Park against Pittsburgh on September 27th and throws five shutout innings.
04:04There it is.
04:05Bold-ass predictions for the second half of the season.
04:08They have to go better than the first time we tried this before the season started, right?
04:13What do you got?
