Just saw they signed Gose.
Looks promising but weak at the plate, but he's still a kid. Good numbers stealing though. He and Rajai in the same order would terrorize opposing pitchers...if they can get on base. That's damn good news on Victor and 4 years is about right. He's getting up there in years. We still need a Catcher, and need to sort out the Bullpen. It's going to be interesting. |

Looks like Hunter is gone
 Torii Hunter will not be a Tiger again. Detroit Tigers general manager/president Dave Dombrowski said he has notified Hunter that the club would not pursue him following the signing of Victor Martinez to a four-year contract. Dombrowski said he called Hunter today to let him know. "I called and said it just didn't look like it was going to fit the way the club was getting put together," Dombrowski said. "Thanked him for everything. Absolutely love him. If something changes where we make some changes for one reason or another, that we're not anticipating, we would still be open. It's just probably not much of a fit right now." |

Torii isn't remarkable at the plate, or outfield, but his leadership and getting hits at the right time, got the Tigers a hell of a lot further down the road than his numbers would indicate. He will be missed, and I hate to see him go. He is a class act and gave the team a definite personality. I got the feeling he wanted to stay, and finish as a Tiger, right after he got here and started becoming really active in the community. He will land somewhere, and class that place up too, at least for a couple years. There's still a few good games left in him if someone takes the chance. I gotta admit, he was a favorite, and this kinda sucks.

Ralph Houk, Sparky, and Jesus rolled into one manager, might have gotten one game farther last season. When you think about it, Brad did a hell of job with what he had to work with. The Castrated Pen, half the line up not being able to hit a damn thing, the slump from hell, plain old bad luck and injurys... Yeah, he ran out of tricks in the bag, and talent to put on the field, and had a career AAA shortstop pitching, but dammit, they made the post season. Folks seemed to think he lost his mind or was clueless several times, but really, he was down to "Fuggit, let's hope for a miracle" at those points in the long game. I just hope he doesn't get micromanaged into a corner like he did last year with the Pen. |

Other catchers don't seem to get hit in the mask quite as often as AA. I think he's punch drunk. I realize it's a tough position but I only would get hit in the mask once or twice a season. It was only a 20 something game season with 85-90 MPH pitches but.....that averages out to 8 -16 times in 162

Take a look who Alex is catching for.
JV, and Max both have viscous curves and sliders, that break like an F1 car on a hairpin corner. Both generate a LOT of foul tips, and skips off the plate. Alex is the absolute master at keeping both from generating a shitload of passed balls, and it involves putting the body and face on the mostly guessed path of the skip. Watch him sometime when JV is on the bubble. The Dude wears holes in the shin guards smothering the insane pitches JV pulls off. I caught for a couple guys that made it, and their junk was nowhere near as crazy, but generated lots of foul tips. The better the junk, the more you are going to get beat the hell up behind the plate. If you notice, the Umps get the crap beat out of them with JV and Max on the mound as well. 
If Alex could hit as well as a AAA Catcher, I would have no issue with the guy. None. His shot to 2nd has gotten a LOT better under Ausmus, and there really is no better Catcher behind the plate. He's just slow on the bags, and can't hit for shit. I'd like to see him get better, but at what cost? If Max stays, it's a wash with him in the line up. He will save a shitload of passed balls, and runs. Damn it would be nice if he generated a few hits more often though. |

The Tigers best player's are all over 30, they may lose Max, they are slow, the defense sucks and the bullpen is absolutely pathetic. DD is an excellent GM who for whatever reason can't fathom that this team will never, ever win a WS with this God awful bullpen-Ever.

I also have both of JV's no hitters on iTunes. I am trying to hold out until January before I watch the though.

Ray wasn't coming around. Good swap IMO, as it makes for some flexibility towards the Pen. What worries me are the rumors about Price and Porcello getting sent down the river. DD is playing chicken with the starting lineup, to see what kind of reaction he gets. |

What I meant was, that with Max gone, it leaves a LOT of change rattling around in the ash tray without a purpose. The starting 5 would be pretty decent as is, so that leaves the Pen, outfield, and possibly SS depending on how Iglesias is coming along. If Illitch just wants a Ring, and doesn't mind a one and done, a closer and SS is in order. If he's thinking 2-3 years of rolling the dice, which is more realistic, DD will be shuffling things a little more. Price will be in the same place next year as Max is now, and the Pen is still a dumpster fire with no real closer, and several battered has beens that belong on a Golf course in Fla. My gut tells me that DD has his eyeball on at least one more convoluted swap down the road, and he needs the $$$ for leverage. |

http://www.foxsports.com/detroit/story/scherzer-has-reportedly-become-tigers-top-offseason-priority-120914
For the last nine months, Dave Dombrowski has played down the chances of the Tigers re-signing the 2013 Cy Young Award winner, pointing out that they could not reach a contract agreement during spring training, when they were the only bidders. That made it unlikely they would have more success when 29 other teams were allowed to pursue him. That seemed even more likely when the Tigers traded two of the top-10 prospects to acquire Shane Greene -- a move that Dombrowski said finished off the Detroit rotation to his satisfaction. However, ESPN's Buster Olney tweeted from the winter meetings in San Diego that Scherzer has become Detroit's top offseason priority, and that they are willing to spend "big, big dollars" to get him. "Detroit really wants him back," Olney added. The move would make sense for a team that has already signed Victor Martinez, Justin Verlander and Miguel Cabrera to huge contracts in an attempt to win an elusive World Series title. Bringing back Scherzer would give Detroit six solid starters, and would allow them to explore the option of trading Rick Porcello for outfield help -- a move that makes little sense without adding Scherzer or another high-quality starter. |
