RockRaines Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 01:48 PM) To Play for a team that isn't going to contend? What is it about this team that shouts bottom of the AL Central? Every team in our division is incredibly flawed. Couple that with not moving your family, having no trade rights and retiring after this last contact. Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it about the team that shouts first in the AL Central? The Tigers aren't going anywhere and will remain incredibly strong. Couple that with the Wild Card routinely going to the AL East, and all the sudden 2nd - 5th in the AL Central don't really matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I think the Royals will add a pitcher and finally jump the Sox this year. That team is set everywhere but a pitcher or two in the rotation. Not sold on Cleveland personally, but I can see the Twins and Sox at the bottom next year very easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think the Tigers are "incredibly strong" at all. And I think the Sox have enough as it stands right now to compete in the division. It is the CONSENSUS on this board that this was an underachieving team last season correct? Well, what if under a new voice in the clubhouse that they actually played up to their ability?  Here is what the Tigers trotted out this year, and obviously some of them are gone like Maggs:  http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/lineup/_/name/det/detroit-tigers   Edited December 6, 2011 by RockRaines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorkChopExpress Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 So I saw on mlbtraderumors.com that the Nationals are "fixated" on leaving the Winter Meetings with a new center fielder, per Pete Kerzel of MASNSports.com. What are the chances they would take Rios if we ate a large portion of his contract? What other needs do they have that we might be able to include in a package with Rios to lower the amount of his salary we would have to eat? Any thoughts?

The only possibility for getting rid of Rios is if the Yankees are desperate enough to acquire Danks that they agree to take Rios with him, and even that is a longshot.

Â Â Package Dunn and Rios for Jayson Werth, that has a chance. Dunn goes back to where he was productive, Rios can play CF and would be at least league average in the NL, Werth can collect his money in LF in Chicago.
