How about Luke Gregerson to pitch the 8th? They definitely need a lefty specialist. Tom Gorzellany?
I agree with most of this. Joba is going to get a decent contract actually, and Soria will cost $7 million so I don't think both will be back. I think you have to keep Soria based on track record though. Miller would be awesome but everyone is going to want him and he's going to get a 3/20 something contract. It would be nice if they would sign more Chamberlain types, I mean this is how teams like the Orioles and A's do it every year.
You got a DeLorean handy?
Thought you guys might do it this year.
I had game 1 LCS tickets, it says it will take 4-6 weeks from the last Tiger game to receive a refund. So I got that going for me, which is nice.was hoping to go to a playoff game this next weekend.
Do you really go into next year counting on Avila? That brain's a bit scattered and it's been going on for quite a while now.
He probably has a pact with the devil that expires when they win, so he always has that going for him.
What was Fisters WAR today for the Nats?? When it counted Davis blooped a ball to second base and Fister threw 7 shutout innings in a elimination game on the road. So #### your WAR.
If Max turned down 6-144 what exactly is he looking for? 6-160, 7-175? More? I think V-Mart will be back and that will get done sooner than later. Yankees are said to be wanting Headley back to DH A-Rod full time. So that takes away one team with cash interested in V-Mart.
Nelson Cruz seems made for Camden Yards. Would think the O`s will make a good effort to retain him. Miller will draw quite a bit of interest. With JJ Hardy there are just not many shortstops so the Yankees may come calling to replace Jeter. Drew proved he is not the answer.
Great post DD. I completely agree.
oh god you clowns n your WAR
You act like it's good for absolutely nothing. Say it again.oh god you clowns n your WAR
WAR aint nothing but a heartbreaker...You act like it's good for absolutely nothing. Say it again.oh god you clowns n your WAR
Who needs WAR when you have grit.WAR aint nothing but a heartbreaker...You act like it's good for absolutely nothing. Say it again.oh god you clowns n your WAR1.0 WAR, not even as good as Rajai Davis. Keep up the dumb shtick though.
No one is going to be lining up to pay JJ Hardy.

As much as I agree with most of this, no Victor might leave a giant hole in the lineup and one less LH bat than the few they already have. I'd alternate him & Cabrera at DH/1st base to keep that middle of the order intact as long as possible.
Cuddy turns 36 before the season starts and his WAR averaged only around 1.2 for his 3 years playing in Colorado. For the right price I would love him to replace Don Kelly but he made 10.5 last year. This has to have been Kellys last season...right??
V-Mart is going to command a big contract, especially if he wins or is runner up to the MVP. I think the tigers sign Hunter to DH, Torry can still hit, just not play the OF, I bet Hunter can figure out first base if he has to. Both are old, but a long term big dollar deal to V-Mart at 36 seems like a risk, and yes Hunter is about 39, but you get the discount with Torry.
I have had enough of Hunter. Time to move on. V-Mart is going to get 3 years from some AL team.
Cuddy's problem this year was staying healthy, masking him as a primary DH in theory should help fix that problem. His WAR would be higher if he didn't play the field too. Given his age and inability to stay on the field this year I'd be very surprised if he commands much on the open market. He isn't like most Colorado bats either, he hits away from there too. Expecting him to do what Victor did this year would be crazy, but so would expecting Victor to repeat it, and we'd have to pay him like he will.
I'd be more than alright with him, but he will cost a lot more than $1.4 this offseason, especially if he has a strong CS/WS.
30 million in salary coming off the books with Max and Hunter gone. Would have been great to have a team option on Nathan.
Oh, yeah. It's a great opportunity to rebuild our depth. A lot of holes need filled though. Aoki at Seth Smith like prices? Sign me up. I think he gets more though. Do you want to give more than $5 per to a 32 year old slap hitter with good obp skills? Very easily could end up like the Indians have with Bourn.
Was asked if he regretted trading Doug Fister and he said no that starting pitching was not the teams problem, then went on to say the Tigers were forced to trade for Price because Verlander is not the same Verlander. (If so why start him in game 2 then?) Joe Nathan will again start the season as closer with a shorter leash.
He was a rookie manager, safe to assume he gets better.Listened to Dombrowski`s year end presser. Said Ausmus did a great job and will only get better next year.
Said the Tigers will have a high payroll again next season looking to add 2 OFs one who is a CF. A left handed bat and of course bullpen help.
Understand that he can only get better. The "great" statement is what I don`t understand. Thought Ausmus did an average job at best and mishandled the bullpen and cost the team at least one more home playoff game. For a team in a "win now" we had a manager that was getting on the job training.He was a rookie manager, safe to assume he gets better.Listened to Dombrowski`s year end presser.

How hard a concept is that to understand? oof
