qwerty Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Just saw on espn and they said it was a three year deal. I am thinking it is more like a two year deal with an option for the third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Looks the Tigers are trying to get better with their various moves. I can't believe they don't sign Big Frank to go with Maggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe they don't sign Big Frank to go with Maggs. The key word there is "trying". The definition of trying to Mike Illitch is to sign players to terribly overpaid deals. Case in point Todd Jones having ERA's of 5.52, 3.79 and 4.97 before the 2005 season. And Kenny Rogers actually had far better home splits then away splits in 2005. He'll be 42 by the time his deal finishes up. But with the market value of starting pitches (hey A.J Burnett will make less than Rogers in 2006 BTW), this was to be expected.

If he wants ballplayers, he has to overpay for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but you can overpay for players like the Blue-Jays have done with Burnett who have a much better chance at producing long - term, than the likes of Rogers and Maggs. The point I'm making is that, yeah he's overpaying, but he's overpaying on the WRONG type of players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Tigers or Blue Jays fan would you prefer to have A.J Burnett and B.J Ryan or Todd Jones and Kenny Rogers for the next few years? Oh and BTW, I'd choose Toronto.
