Brennan Boesch: Ryan Raburn’s second half, and a permanent spot in the 3 slot.
Ryan Raburn: Brennan Boesch’s first half, and a permanent spot in the outfield.
Ramon Santiago: His old utility role back, behind Martin Prado.
Don Kelly: His old utility role back, behind Chase Headley and Yoenis Cespedes.
Dave Dombrowski: Chase Headley, Yoenis Cespedes, and Martin Prado on the Tigers.
Brandon Inge: A shiny new splinter remover.
Jim Leyland: Three players for the top three spots in the lineup that can get on base, on base, on base.
Miguel Cabrera: The 2012 American League MVP award.
Jhonny Peralta: Two more seasons just like 2011.
Yoenis Cespedes: A personal interpreter employed by the Detroit Tigers.
Austin Jackson: A map of the strike zone
Daniel Schlereth: A map of the strike zone
Justin Verlander: The 2012 World Series MVP award.
Max Scherzer: Four months between April and September just like April and September.
Rick Porcello: An ERA that equals his FIP

Joaquin Benoit: Fifty more eighth inning leads
Octavio Dotel: The seventh inning

Jim Leyland
a ballot initiative lifting the smoking ban.
Bless you Boys Readers (sans T-Dog)
Someone with a high OBP so T-Dog won’t have to use the phrase “on base, on base, on base” in every post.
I admit it-
Brandon Inge: A shiny new splinter remover.
This made me laugh.
Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.

Christmas List.
How about some snow? Makes all the wishes above look better. Ha Ha!!
WIth Arizona signing Kubel to play LF
I wouldn’t mind adding Gerardo Parra to the wish list if he is indeed relegated to the 4th OF role.
Beltran
Would be my back_up plan

Christmas List
Austin Jackson: Nicotine patches.
Andy Dirks: New cross-trainers.
Alex Avila: Medical Marijuana prescription for joint and muscle pains.
Don Kelly: Harry Potter glasses.
Miguel Cabrera: Baserunners.
Justin Verlander: What doesn’t he already have?
Brandon Inge: A replacement.
Joaquin Benoit: Facewash
Jose Valverde: Refill on his magical luck dust
Tigers Fans: A pig-grilling Cuban and a Chase Headley.
Ha!
Miguel Cabrera: Baserunners.
That’s funny!
Didn’t know the Tigers are after Prado. I love Martin Prado….he played in the same team Miguel Cabrera played (Tigres de Aragua)…so many good memories (I am a Tigres de Aragua fan, my hometown team). I wish the Whitesox were after Martin Prado too, but we have an idiot running the team.
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

more matches and unsuspecting teammates

For Victor Jr
A shiny bright red fire engine. ’Lil Vic need to pull off all six wheels, and give ’em to his Dad.
Justin can now let the fungus grow back on his shower shoes.
For Rick
A few more whiskers and a ’tude.

not gunna lie, this one confuses me
No longer the Founder, President and CEO of the Ryan Raburn Fan Club
Ajax is one of the best CF's in the game
And I honestly think Cespedes projects better as a corner outfielder. But yeah, Cespedes is definitely at the top of our wishlist!
So maybe that should read Ajax wants a Left Fielder… because he’s pretty much playing center and most of left with DY out there.
No longer the Founder, President and CEO of the Ryan Raburn Fan Club
Yeah, that was what I was going for.
But hey, I’m fine with one of them finding left field under the tree for Christmas.
For me
Lil Vic. I promise to give him back after a few hours, really!
For Ernie. For.Sparky. For Magglio. For ME
Santa Claus
I love the child-like indignation of the caption for the chosen photo. “A man dressed like Santa Claus” You’re not fooling anybody, dude! You’re not the real Santa Claus!
A Stop and Go Sign for Gene Lamont
"I will play tomorrow unless I am dead when I wake up" - Victor Martinez
My understanding . . .
. . . is that Lamont is having off-season surgery to put a screw in his right shoulder—that violent windmilling motion led to a stress fracture. Looks like they’ll have to make him pitching coach, or something. ;)
For Jim Leyland
A pencil that is unable to write “Raburn 4”
“Bunt sign” memory loss
Justin can now let the fungus grow back on his shower shoes.
Dave Dombrowski: money…
David Chadd: a farm system
Mr. Illitch: A CHAMPIONSHIP
(Un)Official President of the Team Jacob Turner Fan Club

Any Seinfeld fan's here?
This shopping list sounds more like the “Airing of Grievances” during Festivus.
It's a "Festivus for the rest of us."
Brookens and Lamont will have to wrestle it out.

Oustanding!
Justin can now let the fungus grow back on his shower shoes.
I think I created a new word
I kinda like it

I just like that Sports Blog Nation does not recognize Daniel Schlereth as a major league player
I am not a fan of Delmon Young.
So, they're just like this blog now, eh?
The other sports are just sports. Baseball is a love. ~Bryant Gumbel, 1981
Beltran batting 3rd…. Oswalt in our rotation..& for me… Enjoying watching Turner, Smyly, Oliver, & Crosby in Toledo…ALL year long!
