I found this over at the Detroit Tiger Weblog, according to sources at ESPN the Tigers have signed Miguel Cabrera to an 8-year 153.3M dollar contract. The size of this deal has been widely speculated with some going as far to suggest that Cabrera would become the next $200M dollar man. That obviously did not […]
I was very much a proponent of the Tigers bringing back Kenny Rogers for another season, while at the same time worried about depending on him filling a slot for the entire season. Not worried only about potential injuries but also control which seemed to be lacking in a number of starts last season. Since […]
According to Jon Paul Morosi with the Free Press the Tigers are eying Cub Michael Wuertz. An acquisition of this sort could go a long way in helping secure some solid late inning relief until the duo of Fernando Rodney and Joel Zumaya are back in action. Detroit’s need of solid bullpen help has been […]
We’re 11 days away from Opening Day 2008 at Comerica Park and it is snowing like crazy outside. Quite a bit can change in 11 days but right now things are not looking good. According to the current 10-day forecast, March 30th is supposed to be filled with snow with a high of 45 and […]
Maybe a bit late on this, but yesterday’s Free Press states that Fox Sports Net (FSN) has secured the rights to Tiger broadcasts for at least the next decade. I’m not entirely certain what this means for over-the-air broadcasts but I have been pleased with the FSN coverage of the Tigers. Over the last few […]

Jason Beck had a good post last week on some comments made this spring by Ivan Rodriguez. The comments revolved around a change in his approach to the plate and his goal to see more pitches. As Jason points out this is crazy talk coming from a hitter such as Pudge, especially so late in […]
I had heard very little about Denny Bautista before the Tigers traded Jose Capellan to the Rockies for him. With the bullpen looking like the Tigers weakest link for the upcoming season, Bautista’s potential ability to fill some major holes for the team is being closely watched. So far he’s been given as many innings […]
There is an interview with Ryan Raburn over at BP Unfiltered. Ryan talks about how he’s been putting a few reps in behind the plate. This isn’t a surprise and has been mentioned earlier in spring but it is sounding like it won’t be a viable option for this year. I can only assume that […]
Went to my first game at Joker Marchant Stadium here in Lakeland Florida today. The stadium itself was quite an upgrade from Knology Park yesterday but with that improvement, there were some drawbacks. It is quite a bit harder to get close to the players than at other parks in the area, though significantly easier […]
