05.12.2007 10 comments

Now that the deal is official, people have permission to speak freely. And the new Tigers sound pretty excited to be heading North. Matt Sosnick, the agent for Dontrelle Willis, indicated that Willis is “incredibly excited” and that while the 2 sides hadn’t talked about a contract yet “He’s [Willis] hoping to stay in Detroit [...]

Chris Shelton era ends

05.12.2007 16 comments

Chris Shelton is now a Texas Ranger. The Tigers continued their active winter by dealing Shelton, who was DFA’d last week, for centerfielder Freddy Guzman. Guzman is a burner who led the PCL with 56 stolen bases last year. He’s about to turn 27 and he’s only amassed 37 big league games in his career, [...]

The Cabrera- Willis Trade – early returns

04.12.2007 27 comments

What’s being said about the trade of trades… Baseball Prospectus | Unfiltered Four is the number of relatively cheap arbitration-eligible seasons that the Tigers are picking up between Cabrera and Willis. Half of the league is willing to bend over backward — perhaps giving up a package analogous to what the Tigers just gave up [...]

Holy Freakin Crap

04.12.2007 98 comments

The Tigers have pulled off a franchise altering trade today sending former first round picks Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller, along with Mike Rabelo and 3 minor league pitchers to the Florida Marlins for Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis. When Dave Dombrowski decides to go for it, boy does he go for it. Like in [...]

Jones’n a day late

13.11.2007 11 comments

The Tigers make 2 moves, and my internet connection flakes out that night. As such, I’ll just wrap the analysis into one post. Before getting into the individual evaluations I wanted to note that with the Todd Jones signing, the Tigers payroll has eclipsed the $100 million mark. I have it pegged at $102 right [...]

Tigers Acquire Edgar Renteria

29.10.2007 96 comments

The Tigers traded for Edgar Renteria. They’ll send the Braves Gorkys Hernandez and Jair Jurrjens. I’ll have more on this later when I digest it, but wow. Renteria is a nice player and affordable, but the Tigers just traded 2 of their top 4 prospects for a shortstop on the wrong side of 30. This [...]

When PTBNL becomes P and other roster moves

30.08.2007 9 comments

With the minor league seasons wrapping up, there’s no time like the present to name those players the Tigers acquired when dealing Mike Maroth and Craig Monroe. In the Maroth trade the Tigers get back reliever Chris Lambert, who certainly doesn’t have impressive numbers. Lee breaks it down, but the best part about Lambert may [...]

Comings and goings: C-Mo a Cub, Miner a Hen

23.08.2007 5 comments

The Tigers shipped Craig Monroe and some cash to the Chicago Cubs for a player to be named later. Later being before October 15th, and the player likely to be a pitcher on the 40 man roster according to Jason Beck. With less than a million left on Monroe’s deal, I’m a little surprised that [...]

A minor trade

13.08.2007

Way late to the party on this (darn work), but you’ve probably heard that the Tigers traded minor leaguer Jack Hannahan to Oakland for Jason Perry. It’s essentially a swap of of AAA depth guys who aren’t on the 40 man roster. Hannahan is just some low cost help for the A’s at third as [...]

I’ll be doing my day job today, so if anything happens, I probably won’t be able to hit it until after the 4pm deadline. But if something does happen and you want to post it here and help the community, all the better. As for the latest buzz, Morosi thinks if anything happens it will [...]

Tigers trade Roman Colon

13.07.2007 9 comments

The Tigers have traded Roman Colon to the Royals for that famous PTBNL, aka the player-to-be-named-later. Colon’s rehab has been assigned to AA Wichita. Impact: zero. I’m actually surprised that the Tigers could get anything for Colon, what with the felonious assault indictment and all. One way or another he punched his ticket out of [...]

The Tigers traded for some bullpen help in the form of Jose Capellan. In exchange the Tigers sent the Milwaukee Brewers A ball pitcher Chris Cody. Capellan is a 26 year old right hander who has spent parts of the last 3 years in the Brewers bullpen. Capellan has decent strike out numbers over his [...]
