This is from the latest ESPN power rankings:

Aubrey Huff has been heating up a little bit lately after an absolutely awful start for the Devil Rays.  He's a lefty bat, so that fits some sort of mold that the Tigers want in a trade possibility.  In June Huff has hit .318/.366/.485 and is hitting .232/.316/.357 on the season.  His past season stats look like this:

2005. 154 G, .261/.321/.428
      
2004. 157 G, .297/.360/.493
      
2003. 162 G, .311/.367/.555
      
2002. 113 G, .313/.364/.520
      
2001. 111 G, .248/.288/.372

He consistently plays a lot of games, and has shown flashes in different years of being a pretty great player.  He can hit for power and seems to be able to swing the bat for average as well.  In the 6 seasons prior to this one Huff averaged 20 homers and 70 RBIs.  Not too bad considering he didn't put up huge numbers in a shortened rookie season and non-powerful sophomore campaign.

It's an interesting possibility, as is Carl Crawford from the D-Rays...but knowing the Rays history of asking WAY too much for their players, who knows what they will ask for Huff. I know they'll want pitching, but the question is who?

By the way, the Tigers ranked number 2 behind the White Sox, who are easily playing the best baseball in the league right now.  They're unbelievable.
