'Tis but a scratch...
Hey, it's 2016! Let the chatter begin.
GO TIGERS!!!
GO TIGERS!!!
Chris Davis-MLB rumors: Could Detroit Tigers be a 'sleeper team' and get in Baltimore Orioles' way?
No thanks.
I'll take Collins as my fourth and be just fine with it.
I would rather see them sit out of any more free agent signings myself.... spend like crazy on all these young cuban prospects that are now eligible. Spending 10 mil on prospect signings could save the need to have to chase 150 mil contract players down the road...Agreed. Chris Davis-level money is better spent on pitching rather than the outfield, IMO. Or they could spend considerably less and get a "true" outfielder like Gerardo Parra.
Weird free agent market this year... We are like a month away from pitchers and catchers reporting and like half the free agents haven't signed.
Boras is the agent for Chen... so that should say enough.Really surprised guys like Wei-Yin Chen and Yovani Gallardo aren't signed yet. Their agents must be asking for a crapload.
Davis in the outfield isn't something I'm crazy about. If we didn't have Victor I might feel differently.Agreed. Chris Davis-level money is better spent on pitching rather than the outfield, IMO. Or they could spend considerably less and get a "true" outfielder like Gerardo Parra.
I wouldn't complain if Raburn was added. I doubt they are going to flip Maybin for pitching though... My guess is Gose would be the one to go because he would net something much better in return.Davis in the outfield isn't something I'm crazy about. If we didn't have Victor I might feel differently.
Honestly, Raburn would be a decent add if we flipped Maybin for pitching. He wouldn't be an infielder this time and he's be down 6-7-8 in the order Id think. But I'm not going to push his cause. Lol
I'm surprised Parra isn't already signed.

But to be clear.. I would only want to see Raburn against lefties.... in LF only.
I don't think he his defense is going to be to costly if he is only playing against lefties and in pitch hitting situations.Yeah, for all his faults, Raburn can hit lefties (career 117 OPS+ vs. LHPs, 83 OPS+ vs. RHPs). But I don't know if we can deal with the defensive liabilities.
And we get Pelfry.Chen getting 80 mil over 5 yrs from the Marlins... Great value signing there.
And we get Pelfry.
It's mindnumbing how bad of an idea that was to add him to our rotation. What an absolute waste.
As solely an outfielder, he's not horrible. I mean, he's not ever going to be good, but he has a nice arm.Yeah, for all his faults, Raburn can hit lefties (career 117 OPS+ vs. LHPs, 83 OPS+ vs. RHPs). But I don't know if we can deal with the defensive liabilities.
