I don’t think we should sign Hernandez, but seriously, thinking we’d be better off with Chad Durbin?? He of the career 5.75 ERA? Or Grilli, he of 98% of Tiger Nation wanted him released in August? That’s just crazy talk.

Well, we all wanted Grilli released way sooner then August. From August onward, he was actually very good.

Mark L – I believe you ae correct re:Heredia. Non-roster invitee wasn’t it? And he washed out and didn’t even pitch in the minors last year. But like I said earlier, if you are left-handed and can carry your pitching arm to the park in an ice-bucket you have a shot at a job.

[...] sitting at home waiting by the phone. No, they’re already on the rebound, flirting with the likes of Livan Hernandez and Carlos Silva. Rogers still has a window to sign with the Tigers, of course, but if he waits [...]

Heredia was one of the invitees to spring training last year I do believe.

Didn’t they try out Heredia in spring training last year? I seem to remember him being one of the LOOGY possibilities.
Thanks Vince, for the rundown of currently active 97 Marlins. Good to get a peek at who we could be seeing soon.
I personally thought Durbin did pretty well considering what was asked of him last year, all the back-and-forth between starting and relief, he held up pretty well. He should do better with a consistent role and “stretched” to handle more than five innings

I am sure DD and Leyland are putting their heads together right now, and may be seriously considering Jeff Conine, Cliff Floyd and Antonio Alfonseca from that ’97 Marlins team who are all still available free agents. We’d have to give up something to get Greg Zaun and Mark Kotsay. Felix Heredia has been out of MLB for a couple of years, but he is left-handed relief specialist and you never have enough of those.

Billfer – Interesting that you state that DD is a great GM and then highlight 2 of his most questionable moves. I would rate him good to very good at his job, not great. Great wins the World Series in the first couple of years on the job.

Mike R -

It very well may be due diligence, or a negotiating tactic. But it also fits with a Leyland/Dombrowski pattern. DD is a great GM, but we also had the Neifi Perez and Jose Mesa situations.

I believe this dumping of Boras by Rogers is because Rogers thinks of the Tigers as a team for contention, integrity, chemistry, and Honesty. The offers the Tigers gave to Rogers were very generious and Boras of course was just trying to squeeze every cent out of a club so he himself can also get a great payday. Rogers with firing Boras almost asures Detroit will resign the 43 year old Lefty. He is truely now a man of integrity and He absolutely needs to be resigned. Ill even give him that 10 million base salary with 1 million+ incentives just because he is a leader in the rotation and because Boras is gone LOL. Great job Kenny you know where your heart is IN DETROIT!!!

I get that there’s speculation but, if the Tigers have contacted him I think it’s just part of kicking the tires — all the tires — available. I’d be stunned if they signed Livan. I just don’t see it happening. It’s not like Dave Dombrowski is Bill Bavasi or Kenny Williams or something. He deserves a slight more benefit of the doubt.
