He'd be a better closer than Percival (before he got hurt). Hopefully Rodney will be better. Another lefty who throws 85 and gets outs. He’d be a better closer than Percival (before he got hurt).

Walker seems to receive a lot of criticism on message boards but he has been a pretty steady reliever for the Tigers. This is good news but not surprising news.

He's been the Tigers reliever that's worried me the least over the last 4 years so I'm glad to see him back. How can you not like this tobacco-chewin' good old boy?

Cool. And I am glad we got our goof back... lord knows we could use some levity in that clubhouse if things keep on like they've been keeping on. Really, they moved out of Hicksville? Cool.

Go figure. Burroughs would be a nice fit here. LH, could platoon w/Inge or take 3B full time. Good fielder, could play some OF or 2B. The knock on him is his .360 SLG, but he has OBP skills and he's still only 25. Looks like he could be had. Get him. I guess the Padres would rather have Vinny Castilla than Sean Burroughs.

As is the list of free-agent starters available. I'd like to see the Tigers go after Kevin Millwood and Jarrod Washburn. Burnett will be too expensive (even before the 'Tiger Premium'), and I think he's a risk. Any thoughts? That Castilla trade was horrible. As is the list of free-agent starters available.

I've seen Washburn pitch a lot and I don't really understand how he gets guys out. He's really only got a fastball, which he does move around and change speeds. No real breaking pitch and no change. But he has been pretty effective and he is a tough SOB. He wants the ball. He'd be a step up from Maroth and/or Robertson, but not a huge step. I'd like to see them go after BJ Ryan (or Farnsworth). He'd really solidify the pen. Burnett would be great but he's going to cost a fortune and if the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, etc decide they are interested Detroit won't get him. He's a better bet than Pavano was last winter. <br> <br>The one free agent I would really like to see a play made for is Brian Giles. He is the perfect high OBP/good power LH bat they need. Put him in LF and make Monroe the 4th OF/DH and you have dramatically improved the lineup and the bench. Millwood had a great year but he’s had significant shoulder problems in the past.

I'd be surprised if SD doesn't move him. Yeah I heard that platoon business too, but Towers made some comments about Burroughs not fitting into their plans. I’d be surprised if SD doesn’t move him.

Anyway, we already paid big bucks for a star closer. We're fin- oops. Never mind. You were right about Burroughs- just read Towers saying that they don't have a lot of leverage in a trade now cause everyone knows he's gone. Could be a good fit for Comerica, if he sprays the ball around and hits #2. <br>I really think Burnett's an injury risk. Totally agee with you on Brian Giles . We have no shot at BJ Ryan.
