Below are some links from other teams around the AL Central.
Not everyone agrees how to rank Cleveland’s ‘non-prospects’, but they all agree they look pretty good.
Royals signed SS Alex S. Rodriguez to a minor league contract and Keith […]
The Free Press is reporting that Tiger relief pitcher Fernando Rodney was signed to a 1-year deal worth $1.05 M. Rodney was eligable for arbitration this year and the Tigers are apparently looking to sign him for a longer period of time.
Fernando had a great 2006 season ending with a 3.52 ERA, 65 SO, 34 […]
The New York Times is reporting on a pre-release issue of the upcoming autobiography from Gary Sheffield entitled ‘Inside Power‘. This apparently goes over his time training with Barry Bonds and hits upon the current baseball hot button issue of steroids.
This also discusses much of the behind the scenes moves he has made and issues […]

It appears as if the earlier speculations, discussed over at the Detroit Tiger Weblog, have been confirmed and the Tigers broadcasts will be picked up on WKRK 97.1. This is good news for me as I live in Canton and get the signal but it is rather weak. The bigger news I am waiting for […]
2006 was a huge year for the Tigers pitching staff. They lead the league in ERA with a 3.84, Justin Verlander won Rookie of the Year, Joel Zumaya was the fastest pitcher in the Majors, Jeremy Bonderman and Kenny Rogers both turned up heroic performances in the Playoffs.
