Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2014 Thread

Colby rasmus in CF? Also heard col was shopping tulo and cargo.....i could see the tigers going after carlos gonzalez.....i heard balt is making it their number priority to sign markakis. He comes before cruz i heard.

 

[Cleaves2000]

Cleaves The Hut and Snort have to go. Miller would be a definite plus for the bullpen. not to sure about Gregerson but wouldn't mind seeing either of these David Robertson, Francisco Rodriguez or Jesse Crain but any contract offered to him should be incentive laden with him coming off a year off because of injury.

I been crying for jesse crain for the last 3 yrs....dont know if hes still worth it but he was pretty good while with the chisox....

Cargo would be awesome but would cost the tigers alot! No to tulo, getting up there in years, injured too much, and plays at coors. I guess two of those three apply to cargo as well. and I only care about defense at SS which we already have. If I was DD, I would be more interested in dickerson.

Markakis looking at other options

 

[Cleaves2000]

Anyone see the tigers prospect rankings?

1. Devon travis
2. Steven moya
3. Buck farmer
4. Derek hill
5. Domingo leyba
6. Kevin ziomek
7. Robbie ray
8. Hernan perez
9. James mcCann
10. Tyler colins


Some thoughts out of this....travis was moved from 2B to CF....blocked at 2B they believe his fast track to MLB would be in CF, a need for the tigers....robbie ray, the gold piece from the fister trade is the 3rd highest P. He is behind farmer and ziomek.....no lobstein......how many yrs will perez be on the list before hes finally in the MLB.....hill is only 18 yrs old.....im excited about moya....been striking out alot but has 450 ft power....

Wish we wouldve traded max for some prospects....winning the WS was the only reason we kept max...and we didnt do it....now max will be somewhere else...

Tigers interested in melky cabrera.....gonna be 2 M Cabreras on the tigers?

Wow imagine if the white sox get vmart and max...ughhhhh......those are 2 of their targets the word is here in chicago....imagine sale and max on the same team...wow.....im hoping if max leaves, it will be the cubs....then we dont have to face him.

VMart signed 4 years 68 million......I like this....

Time to start the 2015 Onging Championship Season ... We signed the big dog. Very important and for a reasonable price. Still some work to do, but I feel much better about this team.

 

[adrian2]

Tigers had no choice. Vmart the only real left handed batter on the team. Tigers Hands were tied.

 

[burfboy]

The numbers he put up were too hard to replace....the guy can flat out hit,,,,,now fix the BP!!!!

 

[Cleaves2000]

Dont like the 4 yrs but oh well. This team gonna be old as hell in a few yrs. Hope they look for BP help for the 7th and 8th innings. Dont sign a closer to do it. It hasnt worked out too well. And if joba comes back ill blow a gasket. Hated that signing and still do.

 

[broncosmitty]

Glad Victor is back. Four years seems like too many, but that contract is smaller than I thought it'd be. Did he take a paycut?

Bullpen help, a right fielder that can play defense and somebody other than Melky in center.

I've excepted we're going to be bad at third for another decade. But Nicky C being dealt would make me happy.

 

[Cleaves2000]

So the tigers traded d travis for gose. Wtf? I guess because he hits lefthanded and plays center. Got speed but cant hit. Scratching my head on this one. He was our top prospect. Even tho that doesnt say much. But u would think to get sumthin with more promise. Only time will tell.

 

[broncosmitty]

He's fast.

Trading Travis doesn't mean much to me.

Ill take a travis or a gose. Kids had like 3 yrs and has t shown anything

Bottom of lineup....iggy avila gose.....ouch

 

[broncosmitty]

I hope they dont plan on him starting much.

Was thinking he was Kelly with speed and without an infielders glove or first basemans mitt. I just want to see him run, Im good on watching him bat.

 

[burfboy]

Read today Boston and Atlanta are interested in Avila..... We still need a CFer....

Window is closing on the Tigers' championship opportunities, so they are paying for two stellar seasons from the league's best DH, knowing that the last two years of the contract probably won't be nearly as productive.

 

[kengel6]

Bye bye Torii. Can Gose play RF? No Dirks either. No REAL CF'er. Looks like the OF is Dumbo's biggest concern??????

 

[burfboy]

Gose will play CF when he plays.....JD will play RF? Muzz will play LF.....
