Tigers, pistons

The tigers are pissing me off.... how can this supposedly "potent" offense not put up more than one damn run!!!! Over the weekend we get gem pitching performances from Edwin Jackson and Justin Verlander and lose 2-1, only to have Gallaragga pitch amazing and lose 2-1 again. If you ask me, pitching doesn't seem to be the problem. We need to get a bat, so I guess forget the Halladay talk and go after the other Holliday on the market, Matt that is. Honestly I don't care who they get, as long as its a big bat. Guillen's status is questionable to make a move Dommer. If we don't make a move, the White Sox and Twins will pass us before we can say Home Run.

The pistons offseason is making me quite excited about upcoming season. The Chris Wilcox signing is a bigger one than everyone thinks. When he started in Seattle/OKC, he was a 13 and 7 guy, which I would love to see in a Pistons uni. The summer league guys... Daye, Summers, and Jerebko look promising and its looking like they all will get significant minutes once the real games start. I'm excited to see what this completely new team will do. However, Rip needs to be shipped ASAP. We are not going to give Ben Gordon 10 mil a yr to sit on the bench, so go out and get a Big man.

  1. Now I know what you're thinking...You look at when I put this comment up and are like, "Dude why the hell are you up at 6 am?" Well, I couldn't sleep so I read your blog. I think that the Tigers need to make some sort of "splash" to shake things up a bit. Now as much as I would like Ublado that won't happen but they do need a bat. Righty, lefty, who gives a shit! They need some sort of offense so we don't have to put Maggs out there and his lack of fastball hitting ass. By the way that granny was bullshit because it was a change! Dunn would be the big power bat but what about Hawpe or even asking the Red Sox about Jason Bay. Bay is a free agent after the year and has halted talks with them. I know it would be highly unlikely and we would have to give up the farm but why not? It would solidify the LF position for the first time since Robert Fick! Ha okay bad example, but that shows you how long its been since we even had a solid LF.

  2. I agree with you Dane that the Tigers need to get a bat for sure, but I don't think they have enough in the farm system for Jason Bay. The A's don't seem to want a whole bunch for Holliday which is why I suggested him... a recent report I read is that the A's gave the Tiger's a list of prospects they'd be interested in for Holliday. At the top of their list was Casey Crosby, left hander hard thrower from our single- A. I guess this guy is going to be a stud, but I might consider shipping him to get the big bat.
