Polanco, Lyon, and Rodney the Worst Free Agent Signings?
I don't think you could exactly split Detroit Tigers fans down the middle, regarding the free agents that the team has lost this offseason. But I know there's some difference of opinion. Some people didn't like letting Placido Polanco go, and don't like the idea of embracing the unknown with a...
Was Curtis Granderson a Victim of Bad Coaching?
Last week, we swapped posts with Pinstripe Alley, trying to get some local opinion on the players involved in the Curtis Granderson trade to the Yankees. (If you missed it, here's jscape2000's post about Austin Jackson and Phil Coke.) In my post about Granderson, I mentioned my theory that Jim...
Detroit's Freddy Dolsi Era is Officially Over
Last week, reliever Freddy Dolsi was designated for assignment to trim excess from the Detroit Tigers' 40-man roster. And now, Dolsi's career with the Tigers is officially finished, after he was claimed on waivers by the Chicago White Sox. Dolsi posted a 1.69 ERA in 10.2 innings with the Tigers...
An Overdue Goodbye to Granderson
It's been more than a week since Curtis Granderson and Edwin Jackson were traded, and probably too late to write about it now. But while scrolling through the Tigersosphere's varied thoughts and lamentations, I realized I hadn't really expressed my feelings about the whole situation. I mostly just...
Placido Polanco: Man in Demand
The Detroit Tigers may prefer not to have Placido Polanco on their roster next year, opting not to offer him arbitration yesterday. But a handful of other teams are interested in signing him, now that they don't have to give up a first-round draft pick to do so. According to MLB.com's Todd Zolecki,...
Morning Prowl: Arbitration Decisions, Connecting Trade Dots, and Hall of Fame Chances
Tomorrow is the deadline for teams to offer arbitration to their free agents. (Players have until December 7 to decide whether or not to accept.) And with that, several Tigers blogs have weighed in on what Detroit should do with Placido Polanco, Fernando Rodney, and Brandon Lyon. The Detroit...
Morning Prowl: Arbitration Dilemmas, Free Agent Predictions, and Gibby's Managerial Aspirations
The Tigers face quite a dilemma with their free agents, in regards to offering arbitration. Kurt Mensching tries to predict what decisions the team will make on Placido Polanco, Adam Everett, Fernando Rodney, and Brandon Lyon at Mack Avenue Tigers. MLB Trade Rumors listed their Top 50 Free...
Jack Morris Reminisces on TBS
You may have missed it after the NLCS concluded on Wednesday night, but after the Phillies were done celebrating, TBS ran an interview between Reggie Jackson and Jack Morris. One of the things they talked about was Morris's no-hitter in 1984 with the Detroit Tigers. Here's what Morris had to say...
Morning Prowl: More Love For Miggy, Those Running Rays, the Numbers 6 and 19, and the Polanco Dilemma
First, a mea culpa to It's Just Sports. In yesterday's post about the arguments that are being made for Miguel Cabrera as AL MVP, I neglected to include Patrick Hayes' case, which was presented last week - before anyone else addressed BigMig's candidacy. (And I had it on my list of things to...
Pick an All-Time Tigers Home Run Derby
With the All-Star Home Run Derby taking place tonight, along with Brandon Inge's participation in the event, I thought we might try something inspired by something I heard a few weeks on the On the DL podcast. The hosts, Dan Levy and Nick Tarnowski, picked their own Home Run Derby rosters, with...
