Last year's Sanchez/Infante deal most notably. I'll grant that Dombrowski has generally gotten good return when dealing prospects, with the exception of the Jair Jurrjens deal (though that was offseason), but it's frustrating to continually see the long-term mortgaged for the short term when the Tig...

Re: The 2013 MLB thread - March/April edition
I like what the Tigers are doing. Keeping six quality starting pitchers is smart, given that they have absolutely nothing but hopes and prayers in the minors. They've got good relief pitchers. If no closer emerges, they can deal for another arm in July. Too, the rotation may be so strong that the n...

Re: The 2013 MLB thread - March/April edition
I'm sure I'm being Mr. Obvious here, but just make Porcello the closer. His stuff would play up something crazy in the pen. Yeah, that was discussed during spring training and the fact that Porcello pitched pretty well out of the pen in the playoffs probably added to it. It's a great idea in theory...

I'm still shaking my head over all of the hand-wringing about the Tigers closer situation.

I'm not sure what's crazier -- the Tigers offering that deal or the P...

Now looking like a sure thing Eric Fisher will be the highest drafted MAC player in history. He even had a private workout with the KC Chiefs (first pick overall) in Mount Pleasant yesterday. Would be pretty mind-blowing to have a Chippewa drafted first overall in the NFL Draft.
