Not lazy. I have better things to do with my life. I post on here when I am bored. And if what goes on a Tigers message board is that important in your life, it has been a complete and utter failure.

...or you can go back and read about how it was an amazing signing yourself. I have better things to do than go back and find all the posts and quote them to satisfy you. Quite frankly, I don't care.

I think Valdez is going to have a rough season with the Tigers infield defense and lack of range, especially if Baez isn't at shortstop...not Zimmerman bad, but it'll show.

Obviously, you haven't read some of the posts on here.

Let's be honest with ourselves. People on here think Verlander is going to be the ace of years ago. He's more likely going to be Charlie Morton from last year. Dude is 43 years old, will spend half the season on the IL and half his starts are going to be really ugly. It isn't an amazing signing other than nostalgia. I'd prefer they spend on a 3rd baseman or corner outfielder/DH.

I was 5-11 and 175 lbs as a junior in high school and met Whitaker and Trammell. Trammell is listed at 6-0, 165 lbs and Whitaker at 5-11, 160 lbs. The weights might have been correct but I was at least 2 inches taller than Whitaker and a good inch taller than Trammell. They were more like 5-9 or 5-10.

Framber looks like he is on the Miggy workout routine

Mark Prior and Kerry Wood. So much potential but then Dusty Baker was their manager.

Nomar would have been a shoo in hall of famer. Only ARod was better in that era. He was an elite glove, 30 hr power, and a great all around hitter.

But Albert Belle was a lot better baseball player than Bo Jackson. It's not even close. Both had hip injuries early

True, but shoulder injuries are the kiss of death for a pitcher.

Nope. 13 million to be their #3 starter

They aren't paying him 13 million to hang out in the bullpen and be a spot starter.

He hit 99 home runs in his career. They need to bring him back...chase for 100. It'll be just like watching Cabrera try to hit #500. Kind of.

I'm hoping they can sign Tom Brookens and Johnny Grubb for the upcoming season. Those guys never got their retirement tour.
