FanGraphs Audio: Dave Cameron Explains It All

Episode 132
The Detroit Tigers now have Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, and Delmon Young, and yet still claim to lack a DH. In this episode of FanGraphs Audio, managing editor Dave Cameron explains how that’s possible. Also discussed: Roy Oswalt’s Final Destination, a pair of cheap pitchers, finding the next Michael Pineda.

Cistulli liked that Hofstra joke a little too much.

Does it make me weird because I have a Marty Cordova Twins jersey? If I could get it signed I think I’d pee my pants.

Carson, you are amazed that people are fans of the Twins just because you aren’t? Explain that logic to me. They’ve won the AL Central Division title 6 of the last 12 years and probably have the best offensive catcher in baseball. I get that you aren’t a fan, as most fans are created by an accident of geography, but I’m not sure how that translates to everyone.
