It looks like when this year’s round of contracts are finished up with arbitration and whatnot, the Tigers will be in the $90-95 million payroll. That sounds fair for a team selling out the stadium routinely and who played in the World Series. The spreadsheet shows that GM Dave Dombrowski has built a lot of flexibility into the next several years.

From my perspective, I always hope to get as many games on FSN as possible because I simply have no access to TV20 games. I know there's quite a few Tigers fans up here who feel the same.

Does anyone have any ideas or info about revenues? For instance what % capacity Comerica would need to be in order to support a $100million payroll? Or how many playoff rounds?

More importantly, when do the TV contracts expire?

I was wondering the same thing and would hope they'd admit their mistake in picking him up rather than allowing him to take up a valuable roster spot. I'm also still peeved that he had only 1 fewer WS AB's than Thames. Anyway...DD has done a nice job, with these latest two signings (Inge, Bondy) at very reasonable numbers, in giving the club good flexibility with "moderate" payroll increases. However...the Maggs contract (and perhaps Sheffield) will likely be burdensome by '08-'09...Oh well, at least were NOT burdened by that Juan Gonzalez contract.

With Santigo under contract and Infante at least going into arbitartion, what are the chances of them eating the 2.5 mill they owe Perez (the second least liked sports figure in Detroit) as Spring Training winds down? I think it could be pretty high if they pick up another bench outfielder who would that time in center away from Omar, but I could be wrong. Gawd, I’ll hate myself for asking this but…
