Signs of Hot Stove Rumor Fatigue

Did anyone else see this article about A.J. Hinch in Sunday's Detroit Free Press and briefly think - even for a second - that the Tigers were looking at him to play catcher next season? 

No?  That was just me?  Okay, I'm reading too many Hot Stove rumors.  Or bad ones, anyway.  With the Winter Meetings coming up, hopefully the good stuff is on the way.  Just some action would be nice.

And if you're thinking, "A.J. who?" he was a catcher on the abysmal 2003 team.  You might remember them from such horrifying memories as "The Team That Lost 119 Games."  Or you don't remember at all because recall of that year has been scrubbed from your brain.  If that's the case, good for you. 

Brandon Inge and Matt Walbeck actually caught the majority of innings for the Tigers in 2003, however, so even if you did watch, but still don't remember Hinch (who batted .203/.247/.392), it's understandable.

Hinch would be a good addition

I’ll tell you one thing Ian, If the Tigers had Hinch in the front office, we could be better off. He has done a great job developing young talent in Arizona. Not to mention, he was handed a pretty good hand when he started his job.

Hinch

I knew he was out of the game so all I thought was, “wow, slow news day”.

I think when the arbitration business is wrapped up Sunday we could finally see some movement. Also, no “big” name pitchers can really sign until Sabathia does and no big time hitters will probably sign until Teixeira does. Once it gets rolling though it should be fun.
