    6. Jose Lima, starting pitcher, Detroit Tigers ($7.25 million)
    In seven-plus seasons, Lima’s won 60 and lost 72, and sports a lifetime ERA of 5.10. He’s being paid big bucks now because, for two years — 1998 and 1999 — he was a very good pitcher for the Astros. Now, he’s a terrible pitcher for the Tigers, sporting an ERA of 11.12 this season in only 22 2/3 innings pitched.

  • Roster Moves:

    Henriquez, 28, was called up from Triple-A Toledo after the Tigers placed outfielder Jacob Cruz on the 15-day disabled list. Cruz has bone chips in his left elbow and is expected to see doctors next week to find out the extent of his injury and if he needs surgery.

    UPDATE: Jacob Cruz will require surgery and is done for the year.

  • Lynn Henning: Weaver must go before Tigers can win again

    What Dombrowski does between now and the July 31 trade deadline will have everything to do with how fast the Tigers become shipshape.
    Like it or not, that probably means trading Jeff Weaver for players who can help the Tigers end this rebuilding charade, which has consumed the better part of 15 years.
