oldsox Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I noticed Detroit had SRO Friday night. Is Verlander that big of a draw? I know it's not the Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Carlos Guillen is officially replacing Raburn at 2B (for at least a couple of weeks, or maybe the rest of the season if he hits)...$13 million they're spending on him, not sure who's getting the worst deal, the Tigers with Inge/Ordonez/Guillen or us with Rios/Peavy/Dunn? Â Guess Santiago, Raburn and Inge will all be fighting for playing time. They really could use Beltran, too. Austin Jackson's going on the DL, Ordonez is giving them nothing (average or power-wise)...they've been piecing things together with Boesch, Wells and Dirks. Â Magglio has a .589 OPS. That's Alex Rios bad. And we all know about him defensively. Â Â http://www.freep.com/article/20110712/SPOR...cond-half-curse Insightful article on why the Tigers have had a 170-200 record under Leyland in the 2nd half and choked away big leads against the Twins twice. Â Â Baseball insiders believe the Detroit Tigers will continue big-game hunting before the July 31 trade deadline, hoping to land another front-line pitcher, such as Colorado's Ubaldo Jimenez, or an impact position player, such as the Mets' Jose Reyes or Carlos Beltran. Â Tigers General Manager Dave Dombrowski and manager Jim Leyland are both in the final year of their contracts, so the team has a feeling of desperation. Most teams are afraid to unload prospects and mortgage the future; but most teams don't have as much riding on one season as the 2011 Tigers.

caulfield12 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Yeah, mostly Verlander. Nice weather. The team was in first place at the Break. Friday night. One of their main rivals, a team they'd beaten in 11 of the 12 previous meetings dating back to last season. Guess the fans smelled blood in the water.

Soxbadger Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Well the Sox dont have a better CF on the roster or in their system, so until that happens I expect Rios will play 90% of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â You don't know that at all. It's hard to imagine that De Aza could play any worse and give us less productive at bats than Rios has. Plain and simple, there's no time left to sit around hoping for him to show signs of life for the first time in a year.
