Off the top of my head....

the second is probably Pena and the 4th is probably Magglio.. maybe the 3rd is Pudge, I dunno. The top one has to be a young'un, probably Shelton or Granderson. Im assuming they are all tigers, if they arent its not even worth guessing(too many possibilites). I'd probably prefer Maggs hitting 4th, shelton third, Pena 5th or 6th, Granderson I dont know, 8th-ish is probably where he would end up. Pudge 7th or so.

How I would probably set it up:
Polanco
Guillen
Shelton
Maggs
Monroe
Pena
Pudge
Granderson
Inge

Im writing this at 5 am so if anything seems glaringly wrong, oops.

ok, i'll tell ya

1 - shelton
2 - pena
3 - young
4 - ordonez

the reason why i mentioned this is to start some discussion on the tigers having young, pena, and shelton, and only 2 real positions to play them. ordonez comes into the mix when the tigers decided they wanted to work him at dh as well.

so, do you look for the tigers to move one of these guys to a different position, or out the door. what is your take?

Pena...

I still think we can get something of value for him, although not much. D-Young is just too hard to ship off right now unless we pay a lot of his salary...that could be an option as well.

Really, our best bet is to try and ship off one of them...None of them really have any value at other positions in my opinion. D-Meat is just a body out in left field.

Thanks for the discussion.

somebody has to go

i am a little torn as to who i would rather see go. young or pena. young is a more consistent hitter than pena. but pena is more streaky and when he is on, he is on fire.

i also think that young could fetch more in a trade than pena, but i guess we need to look at which deal would help out the club this year and in the immediate future

trading away on of these guys also allow us to bring up the slugging thames.
