As David pointed out in the comments the Fan Fielding Survey results are in. Interesting Santiago rates a 64 which is very close to the 61 that Renteria scored in the 2007 survey.

A community based Tigers prospect list - ranking the top 30. It is named the Bluhm memorial list after Tigers fan Brian Bluhm who was tragically killed at Virginia Tech.

Samara expresses Tigers fans emotions - in genius cartoon form. Must read - and I mean it.

I remember when the Tigers traded Noochie to get Alex Sanchez.

That cartoon was GREAT!!!! I couldn’t agree more. This has been by far and away the most BORING hot stove league that I can remember. I blame it all on Scott Boras. He sucks. Nobody can make a move until the big pieces fall like Sabathia, Texiera and Man Ram set the market. I believe all of those guys are Boras clients. So, let’s speed this up Boras. I’m dying to know what the ‘09 Tigers are going to look like.
I love the cartoon, well I love a lot of what she writes, although I just lurk over there (MVN) from time to time, never comment
And no I don’t remember Noochie Varner, although I do remember Sanchez and Andres Torres and Gabe Kaplar and Higgi, and Encarnacion (is he out forever due to getting struck by a ball in the eye?)
A funny thing happened

“Sweetest right handed swing I’ve ever seen in my life…doesn’t do too much…drives in runs…smart hitter…if your a kid you need to watch this guy.” On Ordonez
If only Inge could hit like Ordonez… maybe in 2009
I remember Noochie. I watched him play for the Whitecaps and was extremely upset when we traded him. I’ve often wondered how much of an effect it has on a guy when he bounces around organizations in the minor leagues and what could have been had he stayed with one affiliation.
