Just to stoke the fire a bit… Baseball Winter Meetings are Dec 3rd – 6th in Nashville this year. The potential free agents are all over the board, here’s what I’m finding: – 2 guys from CBSSports think that Josh Hamilton will be a Tiger. 1 guy from DTW thinks that this is ridiculous. Josh [...]

Here’s what we already know – Jose Reyes is taking his talents to South Beach.  Did you know that they are the “Miami Marlins” now?  Isn’t that Jamie Foxx’s team in Any Given [...]

As we tune up for baseball’s other season, let’s review what the Tigers are working with this year. – Guillen and his $13M will not be back.  Though Guillen and Maggs seemingly want to play again in 2012. – Ordonez and his $10M will not be back.  Well, not for more than $5M (I would [...]

CC Sabathia opting out of his contract is certainly not a surprise.  The Tigers being mentioned as a suitor is.  Sabathia is one of the best around, but I don’t like giving any pitcher long term contracts for that much.  Here’s a list of the biggest pitching contracts in MLB history – have any of [...]
