And then you have the DSR’s favorite whipping boy, Lynn Henning, who provides that rare Daily Double of misinformation and atrocious analysis. A man who is never correct on his speculation and then provides atrocious evaluation of said horrid predictions.

For Christ’s sake, if Henning Tweeted out tomorrow that Jeff Moss was circumcised, I’d immediately drop my drawers to make sure that I indeed was cut by a mohel.

The man has never been right about anything. From his comment that the Tigers were five-to-ten years from competing in the AL Central — just a year before they made the WORLD SERIES — to his exclusive coverage of Dave Dombrowski replacing Bud Selig to his atrocious takes on Tigers’ prospects to his prediction that Joba Chamberlain would ink a 50-million dollar deal ….

Please stop me before I get carpal tunnel. It really is incredible that ANYONE in Detroit would view this old man’s Tigers takes as anything but pure fiction. I’d advise you to read his articles and Tweets with a silo of salt.

Would you like the latest evidence of this moron’s laughable predictions? Well, before I post a few of his social media missives, please keep in mind that only the Chicago Cubs have spent more money on free-agents than the Tigers this offseason.

That the Tigers became only the second team in MLB history to dole out TWO $100-plus million free-agent contracts in the same winter. The small-market New York Yankees being the other.

Also, when reading these Tweets, remember that the Tigers signed the third-most desirable starting pitcher (Jordan Zimmermann) and the second-most wanted outfielder (Justin Upton).

Ok, buckle your seat belts …. Here we go!!!
