Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

Now the rumor mill is all over Stephen Drew to the Tigers, and Peralta on the trading block.

I was quite happy about the Hunter signing, except for the money. I'm on the opposite side here. No thank you to Mr. Drew, at any price. I'd rather have Peralta. Drew can't stay healthy, and his family is known for having more drama than Broadway.

Agreed and his agent is a jerk. I'd rather a left for the bp.

Point of clarification:

If you're on Yahoo and you see the headline "Justin Verlander shot", don't panic. They're talking about a golf shot.

Tigers release Rayburn ahead of the winter meetings. hmmmm. Roster now at 39.

And of course, Lynn Henning is salavating over the prospect of signing BJ Upton, too.

Apparently quite a few teams interested in Boesch. I like him, I think he has potential for a lot of power numbers.
Broxton signed for a lot with the REDS and the jerk of an agent for Soriano might over price him as well, in which case the tigers will pass.

If any of those teams have a shortstop they're willing to part with, I'd be willing to listen to offers for Boesch.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

I could see teams being interested in Boesch. The one thing keeping him from being a reliable everyday power-hitting corner outfielder is plate discipline, and it's pretty obvious that's something the Tigers' staff doesn't even try to teach. Good opportunity to get a big reward for a cheap investment.

Winter meetings start next week. Rumor is the Tigers are interested in Astrubal Cabrera. Price would be Nick Castellianos and one other player. A pitcher most likely.

I'd tell the Tribe to stick it in their ***. That's way too much.

I agree. I don't care what the Tigers Brass say, that kid is untouchable right now.

I'd trade him, but not for that. Elvis Andrus, now we can have a conversation.

Tigers apparently have offered Sanchez 4 years 48 million. He on the other hand, is asking for 6 years 90 million.

I guess I didn't realize he was Sandy Koufax.

Reminds me of Cliff Lee a couple years ago. If he gets $15/year, what is Verlander going to get after 2014?

THAT is the 64,000 dollar question.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition

I bet it costs a little bit more than that.
