Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2013 Thread

According to MLBTRADERUMORS.......Avisail Garcia to the Red Sox for Jose Iglesias as part of Peavy (3 team) trade.

Looks like Raburn's two run single gives the Tribe the lead and probably the win. Discuss it among yourselves.

lol

Anyone remember the six (plus) month long, daily bashings of Ryan Raburn on the old CBS boards. I remember that many 'fans' claimed (again - on a daily basis) that he was the worst player in baseball. AND, that he and Inge we responsible for every Tiger loss????

Anyone recall that? I seem to remember one poster (someone called buzzer, or muster, mustard?) even created a chant of "Raburn Sucks", that other 'experts' picked up on. That was quality stuff.

Raburn sucks under pressure and always has. Now that he is playing for a team with 0% shot at the post season, the pressure is off so he's playing well. Perfect guy for a mid level team, worst guy to have on a team that's actually playing for something. You'll figure it out eventually.

Iglesias.....bad note. He is batting over .300, but his BAPIP is a whopping .377. I hope that does not start to drop until next year.

Whatever you say....seems like he has come through "in the clutch" a couple of times recently. But, you guys are the experts.

Clutch for a team playing for nothing. The Indians are strictly a run out the clock club. Perfect fit for Raburn.

Again, I was thinking that Cleveland seems to be hanging in pretty well......but again, that expert stuff is no match for me. (I guess you will be cleaning up in Vegas, since you know all the outcomes.)

So we get Jose Iglasias for Avisail Garcia..... This has to sink in, but I think I'm pretty damned stoked about it.

 

[Iffster]

Not that anyone cares....but I like the trade .

THAT IS WHAT YOU TRADE GARCIA FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DD is the best gm in the MLB... bar none.. hands down... He just got the tigers one of the top ss prospects from the Red Sox, a rookie of the year candidate.. with years of team control... BYE BYE Peralta.. who cares where you go next year.. you aint coming back here! That is why you don't trade Garcia to the Padres for a reliever boys. 23 yr old mid infielder baby!!

“Iglesias is the best defensive shortstop prospect I’ve ever seen,” Law wrote in his Top 100 Prospects of 2011 piece last week.
“He’s not the fastest or most athletic, but he’s the one most able to make plays and to take difficult plays and make them look routine.”
The 21-year-old shortstop, who was ranked No. 91 overall last year, is checking in at No. 45 overall this year and is the Red Sox’ top prospect.

I still can't believe DD just flipped Garcia and Villareal for one of the best SS prospects in the MLB. 23 yrs old.. with TONS of potential. and best of all.. you sent away a 22 yr old with tons of potential for a 23 yr old with tons of potential.. Not a reliever that is no way is worth a guy like Garcia. I just pray Garcia doesn't destroy the tigers pitching for years to come... I love this trade.

 

[broncosmitty]

I get why the Red Sox moved him. They have Drew, Bogarts and Middlebrooks. Three guys, two spots. But man do I ever like the fact we have a shortstop who is actually a SHORTSTOP!!! Plus, as an added bonus, we have the best 1-2 combo in starting pitching in the Central again. (For Howie)

If he learns to stop chasing and doesn't get shoved into center, the White Sox probably come out loving this trade too. If nothing else they're saving 15 million. I wonder if Garcia goes to AAA?

 

[broncosmitty]

Holy Shit!!!! We got rid of Villereal while doing this!?! Fantastic!!! Now move New Mexico for a couple bottles of Super-Beta-Prostate for the dugout and were all set for the stretch run.

No way he goes to aaa.. He should be in the majors.. Casper Wells is on their major league team right now.

The tigers opened up a place on the 40 man roster for Bonderman to get his shot as a reliever with this also by dumping Villareal... I like this move so much.. I have to go clean up the stuff dripping down my leg.

Rob.. he is only posting to get you riled up... Put him on ignore and move on to Tigers baseball...

Hahaha. I'm pumped!!! This will be HUGE for the pitching staff. Especially Ricky and Fister. Im a Bondo honk. But I don't really feel any need to share that on this board. Any further than I already have. Now I gotta get back to waking my Fellow Tigers fans with late phone calls.

Rob.. he is only posting to get you riled up... Put him on ignore and move on to Tigers baseball...

but I've found taking him off ignore, then ignoring him anyway, Gets him to stop talking about me on other boards. Or atleast he stops asking people to pass things on to me. (Yes cleaves, I know the dog keeps yapping. But check out this insulation...). He also leaves players im a fan of alone. Not the case with muzz though. Hes got an imaginary boner for that poor guy.(hes the number one fan, of the man, from tennesseeeeeeeeee) Everybody did a nice job of not paying his fishing, trolling, annoying posts anymind.....except Rob! (Fuckin Brady fans....)
