Detroit Tigers links: Should the Tigers buy or sell?

With the Miguel Cabrera injury, a .500 team, and THIS, Monday produced an absolute onslaught of articles touting whether the Tigers should be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline. Steve Schrader at the Free Press did this post a huge favor by collecting the educated guesses of numerous writers throughout the nation. MLive wants YOU to answer the question offering up the obvious reasons for each perspective. I mostly linked that because the majority of you are pessimists and I don't appreciate it.

Meanwhile, Jeff Sullivan at Fangraphs presented this precarious position as ... A TRAP. With a middling team, but a team with glaring weaknesses, the Tigers' organization don't know whether to buy or sell. The article also does the best job of presenting what I believe is the realistic answer at this time. Stand pat. It's painful, but this team could still trend in either direction. Hopefully Dave Dombrowski will have a clearer picture (even if its a negative one), as we approach the deadline.

Vin Scully is a national treasure. Also, for the integrity of this post, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out he's actually wrong.
