And it's not automatic that Sizemore will be at 2B come March 30th. It is just as likely you will see Ryan Raburn or Ramon Santiago. Wacky prediction: Tigers sign Paul Byrd.

But, that would be a big one! Lyon declines. Surprise! It sounds like it’s dead, but I’m sure other teams are trying to shop deals. But, that would be a big one!

Dombrowski better not take any cheap **** for him or Grandy. Looks like Jackson is still a Tiger at this moment. Dombrowski better not take any cheap **** for him or Grandy.

The rotation and bullpen will have nice options from down on the farm. Crosby, Turner, Oliver, Satterwhite, Weinhardt etc... My thoughts exactly because 2011 and beyond they are going to be beasts.

It seems like a good value. That said, this was a team that missed the playoffs. I was hoping they would get better, and SS seemed like one of the better spots in the lineup to do it. With Granderson and Jackson trades imminent, and Polanco in the NL, it seems like the team is either treading water or downgrading. I was on board with moving Granderson and Jackson, but I thought there would be some corresponding moves to make the 2010 lineup better, not just add youth and prospects. It seems like the franchise is playing for 2011 and beyond. I can live with that, but its disappointing coming off a season where they were a few inches from being in the playoffs. Not to say a run in 2010 is out of the question, just that with a downgrade at multiple positions in the lineup its not likely... I don’t have a problem with the Everett signing itself.

Quality low signing with great defense, and some low but decent batting stats and some clutch hits/sac bunts. The Everett signing shows us this isnt a total fire sale, and glad they signed him on the cheap. We needed Everett with his great defense to help along Sizemore who will be starting at 2B next year. With Everett there to help compliment Sizemore i wont be cringing about the middle infield as much this yr compared to as if we had two rookies there at SS and 2B. Good signing DD, now on to what we will get for Jackson. And please NO Yankee crap picks please as they have none save for Jackson and Joba. And Im back guys!!

I think I take a one-WAR type guy on a cheap one-year deal over the other choices. Kinda sad that this may have been the best option, but I think it may have been.

Quality re-signing. Way better than Crosby, and Everett actually had quite a few clutch hits last season. Quality re-signing.
