I am looking forward to seeing how Cabrerra does at 3rd base. They gave up on him playing there when he first came to the Tigers and I guess I missed him being so terrible. He has one of the best arms in the game so even though he is slow he can make up for it a bit with the arm. I can see him handling bunts being a problem. But I will trade his stroke for Inges pathetic bat any day.

Prince Fielder looks like a good pick up for you guys.

We're in serious rebuilding mode right now. I don't expect us to be competitive until next year at the earliest. That being said, Starlin Castro will most likely make the All-Star game and compete for the batting title again. He's about the only player on the team worth keeping aside from maybe Garza (unless we get good value back), Marmol (if he returns to form), and maybe Soto. Pretty much everyone else is expendable, and maybe Soriano will remember how to play again so we can trade him away.

and the Red Sox are still awaiting the compensation for the Theo deal....

**QualityReachOut** · 08-03-2012, 02:32 AM

It's being taken care of by the commissioner's office. Obsessed much? the Red Sox were asking for our top starter, it's no small wonder that no deal had been made.

Theo would've been gone next year anyway, you guys don't deserve all that much.

**infollafago** · 08-03-2012, 02:33 AM

Could you imagine the heart of the line up if Martinez had not messed up his knee

Wonder who will get the Cuban Centipede? That is what they are calling the guy who defected. I am surprised the Yanks and Sox have not been hot after him. It would be a gamble but no more so than some of the big money spent on Japanese pitchers.

**mikelangr** · 08-05-2012, 02:18 AM

0-3?
0-3?
its going to be a longgggggggggggggggggggg summah

**MaigicyuNinia** · 08-05-2012, 03:11 AM

GO TIGERS.

That is all.

**mikelangr** · 08-05-2012, 03:51 AM

GO TIGERS.

That is all.

You guys can play the Red Sox anytime...

**MaigicyuNinia** · 08-05-2012, 03:53 AM

LOL--I don't follow baseball, AT ALL. The only reason I bother is cause I bartend at a golf course and they watch baseball a lot--and most everyone roots for the Tigers.

**infollafago** · 08-05-2012, 03:54 AM

I wish I could say I was sorry PJ

What a win today

The Tigers can sure smack that ball around

they got Bucholtz early enough! but the Sox showed their ineptness...no bullpen.....enough hitting all around, but still the galring weakness is all aparrent...like I said...its going to be a long summer...I still think they will pull off a 3rd place record...anything better will be a blessing....

**QualityReachOut** · 08-05-2012, 04:01 AM

The Cubs finally won a game. We didn't blow a lead late. It's a damn miracle.

**Donadoni1809** · 08-05-2012, 04:05 AM

go mets!!!!

**toreesi** · 08-05-2012, 04:45 AM

Early days but tigers look good

**infollafago** · 08-05-2012, 04:48 AM

Tigers took a big hit with Fister going on the DL

I wonder if their GM has sent out a call to Oswalts agent

That would be a help a ton to get him. I had no idea he was still holding out. Doing the Clemens I guess

**QualityReachOut** · 09-02-2012, 11:22 AM

Interesting, I haven't really been following the baseball offseason all that much this year. Just came across the fact that the Cubs look to have signed Gerardo Concepcion out of Cuba to a $7 million deal. If he pans out, he could pay some serious dividends for our starting rotation in a few years. There's also thought that the Cubs could be a serious player to get Yoenis Cespedes (which would be huuuuge), and/or Jorge Soler as a result of getting Concepcion, and having a good number of other Spanish speaking players (Soriano, Castro, Marmol, Mateo, and Soto; among others).

**23tommy** · 09-02-2012, 02:27 PM

im an astros fan...but they may not be the astros this year....oh hell!

new owner lots of new changes, so it will be interesting to see
