Tigers traded some garbage for Fister. Check out his 3.17 ERA. The tribe traded Pomeranz and White for Jiminez...and his 5.27 ERA. Fister makes $436,500 per year and Jiminez makes 2.8 million.
:laugh:
Good luck to the Tigers....I hope they win the whole damn thing.

It's not Ubaldo's fault we lost tonight. People are looking for someone to blame and he's been the victim because we traded away two promising PROSPECTS.

The fact is, too many injuries and not enough offense did us in. Ubaldo pitched a very good game tonight. He pitched well enough to win. Doug Fister chopped out pathetic line up to pieces.

Fact is, our ownership isn't spending 100 million on our roster like Detroit's.

Footwedge;884626 wrote:You and Hoops can't read....I never blamed Ubaldo for today's loss. For Ubaldo, he pitched better than he usually does.

Here is a question for you, who is our 2012 opening day starter....Jimenez or Masterson?

OQB;884633 wrote:I am not going to put any stock into what Ubaldo has done THIS season. He was injured early in the year and wasn't himself, then he gets traded to the American league where he is facing new hitters and teams that he is not really used to. What I am excited for is getting him 100% healthy again and let him work that arm back to full strength next spring.

hoops23;884637 wrote:Easy, Masterson.

But it's a good situation to have.

Footwedge;884621 wrote:My post was comparing Fister with Juminez...and what we traded away. I get it. You still think Ubaldo is the next coming. His stats over 6 years say otherwise.

I will say that for this year....Detroit's acquisitions at the deadline look genius. Young and Fister have played out of their asses.

hoops23;885382 wrote:Don't have to worry about Carrasco. As I mentioned in the Royals thread, he's about to have Tommy John Surgery, so he's out at least a year.

Mulva;885390 wrote:I actually had no idea he was hurt that badly.

It's weird, at the beginning of the year I thought this team would win around 75 games and contend next year. Now the team contended for long stretches this year, but I'm actually less optimistic about what we have going forward.
