The Tigers have agreed to a one year contract with Robert Fick for $1.15 Million.
To recap, the Tigers will have Dean Palmer, Dmitri Young, Mitch Meluskey, Craig Paquette, and Robert Fick. How many DH’s do you really need on one team? Paquette looks like the best option at third, and Phil Garner told Young he would get plenty of action at first base. That leaves Mitch Meluskey to catch (frightening) and Robert Fick to play right field. That wouldn’t scare me too much as long as there was a legitimate centerfielder, which there isn’t. Palmer becomes the full time DH. I’m just not seeing this team in a much better position than last year.
