Serioulsy, a ####### steal at $19 million per. I thought for sure his play was to put up gigantic numbers in that stacked line up and then fish the open market and command ARod 25 mil money. His age, locked up in the D thru his prime, with his career projections, gives me :wood:

This post wins. Every day that goes by, I drop to my knees and thank the Almighty that Juan Gone turned down that deal.I
The jealousy from the White Sux is almost blinding, and the Yankees appear to be scared. We could have average years from half of our rotation, and the Yanks would still have to play catch-up.Quotes from White Sux boards:

most sox fans and baseball fans would see this as a good signing. and that is what most of the post are in that thread. He signed for less then he could have gotten. this is a good deal for the tigers and bad for Canberra in terms of money. you should be happy you signed him and not worry what sox fans think and try to spread incorrect comments from sox fans.Quotes from White Sux boards:
that guy is an idiot and if you read the thread you will see him get made fun of for saying thatthat quote on that site is written in teal. and teal is what they use on that site for.
You made that one up

I wouldn't quite go that far. No doubt it is a great signing...but, settle down a bit.

Yeah that might be a little much. However I'm not sure how well the Yankees rotation will do this year and I think they are gonna have some big issues at the beginning and then at the end of the season. You have two rookies one who has thrown 151 innings as his career high (kennedy last year) and Hughes who has a career high of 116 innings. I think one or both of those guys will either break down or get shelved by August which means the Yankees are going to have to find innings from somewhere else. Mike Mussina and Andy Pettitte are going to have to be pretty durable this year and they are going to be key to the Yankees making the playoffs or frankly, even getting close. Unlike last year where they had all these young guys who came up pretty fresh they won't have the same luxaries this year and like the Tigers, they have some older position players that could also be problematic. Of course i doubted the Yankees last year and that didn't work well for me. Going to Yankee Stadium for the first time on April 30th btw.

I'm not sure how a team that just won the WS a few years ago would be jealous. Also, I don't think anybody is "scared" of anybody else in baseball. It's just a game, Rambo.
Good deal for the Tigers - 19 million per in the prime of his career.

Source: Tigers, Cabrera agree on $152M deal
USA TODAY
DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera and the Detroit Tigers have reached a preliminary agreement on a $152.3 million, eight-year contract, according a personal familiar with the deal.
The person spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday because the contract was not yet final. The third baseman must pass a physical before the agreement can be finalized.
Cabrera agreed on Jan. 18 to an $11.3 million salary for this season. The new deal adds $141 million over the following seven seasons.
Cabrera will earn $15 million in 2009, when he would have been eligible for salary arbitration. He will average $21 million annually over the next six seasons, when he would have been eligible for free agency.
Cabrera's average salary of $19,037,500 will be the fourth-highest in the major leagues behind those of New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez ($27.5 million), New York Mets pitcher Johan Santana ($22,916,667) and Boston left fielder Manny Ramirez ($20 million).
Seems like a good deal, but still he ends up being the fourth-highest paid in major leagues, good for Cabrera, good for the Tigers.

Are ya, I'm going to the WhiteSox game on the 5th. It was my turn to schedule an end of the year social gathering for our work party, so I organized a suite for that game.It's not really too bad, 65 bucks a ticket that time of year, compared to 85 prime time (summer games). Personally, I think they have their thinking backwards in terms of charging money for those sweets.It's in April in Detroit when you WANT a suite, because the weather is cold. During June, give me tickets down by the field anyday, even over a suite but in April in Detroit, kinda nice.goin to see the Tigerso n Thursdya April 3rd!!!!!!!
