To Pudge or not to Pudge

30.09.2007 23 comments

One of the Tigers biggest decisions this off season will be whether or not to exercise Pudge Rodriguez’s $13 million option.  The net cost to the Tigers is $10 million because there is a $3 million buyout.  But be it $10 million or $13 million there is no way that Rodriguez will be “worth” what [...]

Just a quick note of thanks to everyone here. Thanks to everyone who participated in the comments which kept the site going when I was too worn out too. Thanks to all of the readers and subscribers who kept coming back day in and day out. The site averaged over 1000 visitors a day throughout [...]

Stay classy Sean Casey

30.09.2007 11 comments

While there is a lot up in the air regarding the Tigers roster, one thing isn’t and that is Sean Casey’s future.  Casey met with Dombrowski and Leyland and they let him know he won’t be returning. This isn’t a big surprise given the Tigers announcement that Carlos Guillen would be moving to first base.  [...]

Game 162: Tigers at White Sox

30.09.2007 36 comments

PREGAME: Sigh. List of team and offensive feats that may happen today so there is something to root for: Magglio Ordonez needs to not go 0 for 6 and Ichiro Suzuki needs to not make an out and the Tigers have their first batting champ since 1961.  Maggs is also looking to see if he [...]

Tiger Tales: A Detroit Tigers Blog: No Sophomore Slump for Verlander Verlander pitched better this year than last, but had very similar results. (tags: justin-verlander) Tigers’ Rogers unsure about his future I think he’s a slam dunk resign if he wants to come back. It’s just whether or not he (and the family) still want [...]

Game 161: Tigers at White Sox

29.09.2007 30 comments

PREGAME: So Jim Leyland announced that Magglio Ordonez wouldn’t be playing tonight taking away the most compelling story line for the Tigers. I guess we’ll just have to settle for seeing if the Tigers can solve the riddle that is Gavin Floyd. Floyd has allowed 1 run in his last 2 starts combined against Detroit. [...]

Tigers need a shortstop

28.09.2007 45 comments

The decision has been made, Carlos Guillen is moving to first base in 2008. Kind of a strange time to announce it and then there is this curious quote from Guillen: Guillen recently said he’d only switch if he was assured that the Tigers were going to replace him with someone good — “a Gold [...]

Game 160: Tigers at White Sox

PREGAME: Tonight it will be Javier Vasquez taking on Kenny Rogers. Vasquez has been on a mission as of late with 33 K’s, and only 3 walk in his last 21 1/3 innings pitched. Rogers has been solid since returning from the disabled list compiling a 2.96 ERA in 4 September starts. He’s fanned 18 [...]

Striking down striking out

28.09.2007 5 comments

One of the Detroit Tigers organizational goals for the year was to address strike outs throughout the system including the minors. So how did they do on this front in 2007? The organization saw improvement in strikeouts per at-bat through every level. The improvements weren’t huge, but they were most likely real. Whether or not [...]

Tiger Tales: A Detroit Tigers Blog: Tigers Among Batting Leaders Lee looks at Tigers on the leaderboards. For awhile I’d conceded the MVP to A-Rod, as long as Magg’s was the 2nd place finisher. But David Ortiz is right there as well making that not even as clear cut. But Magg’s gets points for playing [...]

Site upgrade

27.09.2007 3 comments

A couple of site tidbits I wanted to make you aware of. First, I upgraded the site this evening to WordPress 2.3. Everything went pretty smooth…I think. If you come across funky-ness or broken stuff, please let me know. And this of course would be the reason the site was unreachable or serving up a [...]
