July 28, 201015 yr Pretty sure this makes Jayson Nix a full-time starter for them. So... that's kind of cool.

July 28, 201015 yr This actually scares me in the sense that if this is the best the Tigers can do considering all the injuries they've had, it makes you wonder what we can legitimately do?
July 28, 201015 yr Indians actually got something back, 2009 1st round pick, lefty, wow. Something like an 8.3 k/9 too. Edited July 28, 201015 yr by Knackattack

July 29, 201015 yr Well, that is not what I expected the Tigers to do. I still see another, bigger, move coming from them.

They're plummeting so fast right now that they need several moves to really hang with the 2 guys at the top, given all the injuries they've had. The White Sox have a significantly better offense than the Tigers on the season right now.

July 29, 201015 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 10:27 AM) The Tigers need to punt on 2010 and see what they can get themselves for next year. Exactly, which is why this Peralta deal in which they have up a decent prospects is so stupid.

Well...they are only 5 games out of the division, they have Cabrera's career year probably going on right now, they clearly have an owner who doesn't want to throw in the towel, and they have some young kids who are having ridiculous seasons. There's plenty of reason to keep going.

There's plenty of reason to keep going. They are missing so much of their core, not to mention they have soooo many free agents coming up, they need to see if they can find guys who can save next year, instead of having to put all of your eggs into the free agent basket.

Part of the reality of having SOOOO many free agents on their team to replace for them is that pretty much every one of the guys they need to replace is heavily overpaid. Ordonez, Bonderman, Willis, Damon, Inge, Laird, etc. That's liek $50 million available to spend if they get back to the same amount this year. When you throw in having guys like Boesch, Scherzer, Jackson, and possibly Porcello taking spots as minimum-salary guys out of ST next year, the only reason why they'll be hurting at all next year is if they take a major team salary cut. The White Sox have an awful lot of spots to fill next season also...but they're doing so with about $15 million instead of $50.
