August 15, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 01:38 PM) Gotta think that was not a cheap move for them. Delmon Young earning $5.38 million this season but has a career-worst .662 OPS. But he has an .865 OPS in August -- best this year. jonmorosi Jon Morosi #Tigers will have the option to bring Delmon Young back for '12 through salary arb. But he's been viewed as a non-tender candidate. #Twins
August 15, 201114 yr He'll have a good amount more protection in that lineup. I'd expect his numbers to get better.
August 15, 201114 yr QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) How did Delmon Young slip through waivers? He might have just fallen to the Tigers and had the Tigers put a claim on him. I think that would mean, for example, the NL never saw him, the Yankees/Boston never saw him if that were true.
August 15, 201114 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 06:42 PM) He'll have a good amount more protection in that lineup. I'd expect his numbers to get better. He's a better, cheaper replacement for Ordonez next year.
August 15, 201114 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) He'll have a good amount more protection in that lineup. I'd expect his numbers to get better. He's also moving to Comerica though. No matter what people say about Target Field...Comerica is huge.
August 15, 201114 yr QUOTE (Real @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 01:52 PM) Cant believe he fell to DET Considering CLE's injury trouble in the OF, I'm surprised they didn't take a chance on him. Other than that, I don't see many other AL teams below DET that may have wanted him, maybe the Mariners for next year since their offense is dreadful?

August 15, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 02:54 PM) It was reported that he actually cleared waivers first. Doesn't have to be accurate though.
August 15, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 01:56 PM) Doesn't have to be accurate though. Neither does this trade
August 15, 201114 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 01:37 PM) Jeez, that lineup is deep Minus the whole Delmon Young part. Dude's bad.
August 15, 201114 yr I give DET credit for doing what they can to improve, recognizing weakness and acting like they're "all in." But nothing would give me more joy than to see them NOT win the division, esp after extending Dumbrowski and Leyland.
August 15, 201114 yr Reason #1 we know Jordan4Life doesn't have a twitter account.... Kevin_Goldstein Kevin Goldstein I find it strange that nobody has found a way to give Alex Anthopoulos credit for the Delmon trade yet.
August 15, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 01:54 PM) It was reported that he actually cleared waivers first. Well here we go ChrisVannini Chris Vannini Dombrowski: "We like Delmon's bat." Said they claimed him off waivers a few days ago. Young thought it was a practical joke. That is their MLB reporter.
August 15, 201114 yr Also this could mean the end of Maggs in Detroit... ChrisVannini Chris Vannini DD asked about Magglio's future, says another roster move will be announced shortly. ChrisVannini Chris Vannini DD says corresponding roster move coming soon. Won't say right now.
