January 28, 200521 yr of course in that division, Ordonez may be enough to propel them to the top 670690[/snapback] :nono Magglio won't help out their pitching staff, and any ball that is hit down the first base line will go for at least 3 bases.
January 28, 200521 yr Author I happen to like this move by the Tigers... a lineup with White, Pudge, Guillen, Pena, Ordonez, Inge, DaMeat Hook, Monroe, Logan/Sanchez is pretty beast They need to show the faithful they want to win, and getting Maggs is the way to go(even if they do overspend) 670927[/snapback] Signing Maggs isn't the issue here, even giving him 10 million or more for a year isn't my issue, but to give him a 5 year contract could be the dumbest signing i've ever seen if it happens. They could give him a 2 or 3 year incentive laden deal and get Maggs, because nobody else will give him more than that anyways.
January 28, 200521 yr That is absolutely insane, that's more than we're paying Delgado, even with a 5th year. I love this move though, because now the Mets, Cubs, and every other NL team has no chance at him .

Why?... Because they are the Detroit Tigers. They have to offer guaranteed money. Until they start winning again, thats just the way its gotta be with them.

It just isnt worth the risk for Detriot to let him even think about the offer.
January 28, 200521 yr Their GM is an idiot. 670935[/snapback] :plain I like Dombrowski...he did a pretty good job with teh Marlins while he was here. He didn't exactly have that much to work with. And look what he has done with the Tigers already. He is a good GM...although this would be insane and Tom Hicks like. No one is even close to offering this much at all so this offer doesn't make any sense. I doubt it is true. If he were to pick him up the Tigers would be looking at the best offense in the Central. It would be a great pickup for them, but not at this 'rumored' 5 year 70 mil deal.
January 29, 200521 yr Their GM is an idiot. 670935[/snapback] Remember that team that helped win the WS 2 years ago? Yeah, that would be the GM that helped put a lot of it together...
January 29, 200521 yr Their GM is an idiot. 670935[/snapback] he's only a big reason why you guys won a world series a couple years ago
January 29, 200521 yr Their GM is an idiot. 670935[/snapback] Exactly how long have you been a Marlins fan for? Obviously not very long if you're calling Dombrowski an idiot.
January 29, 200521 yr Someone said something about the Tiger pitching staff, but I think it has a chance to be pretty good, albeit young.. Robertson, Bonderman, Maroth, Johnson, Ledezma have potential, IMO.
