Haren might even be the #3 this year behind Weaver/CJ Wilson. Angels and Rays just have stacked rotations.Laley23;1093073 wrote:They would be up there. But I would definitely take Weaver/Haren and Price/Shields first. Maybe even Verlander/Fister if Fister is solid again.
I was about to list King Felix/Pineda Colado. Then I remembered he was traded Dont know why I didnt think to put CC and Pineda though. Good call.Mulva;1093084 wrote:Haren might even be the #3 this year behind Weaver/CJ Wilson. Angels and Rays just have stacked rotations.
CC/Pineda could also be right up there.

"Pronk" normally makes it a month or 2 into the season, looks like he might be putting something together, then breaks down.wes_mantooth;1094849 wrote:Lol.....crazy!
What's next.....old reliable Hafner gets hurt?
You gotta be freakin' kidding me....strained back fielding groundballs.:mad:[INDENT]Sizemore out for opening day. SHOCKING! [/INDENT]
Worst part is that now he is going to have no spring training, so it will likely be into May before he is healthy enough to really start to contribute (if that is even realistic).HitsRus;1094865 wrote:You gotta be freakin' kidding me....strained back fielding groundballs.:mad:
Big tribe fan here and yet I agree with your assessment. Fister was like 2-13 when he was traded, but the man was a frieking stud....Classyposter58;1091492 wrote:Can he repeat? The dude has been coming along great, he was tearing it up in Seattle but no one heard of him because it was Seattle and they had no offense. He had a 2.83 ERA and got stronger as the year went on and is projected to be big this season as well.
Also he was behind Cabrera not Ordonez:huh: And come on Prince Fielder is a definite upgrade from VMart, you're just by 2011 #'s getting 26 more HR's and 17 more RBI's. And with Jackson-Boesch-Cabrera ahead of him expect even more RBI chances this season. Obviously they have to play the games but this is a Detroit team who won the AL Central by 15 games last year and has went out and improved
I saw that on an ESPN crawl and said the same thing as you did.HitsRus;1094865 wrote:You gotta be freakin' kidding me....strained back fielding groundballs.:mad:
Maybe we could have paid him this year lol but we weren't throwing the amount of money the Tigers did at him.BR1986FB;1095008 wrote:On 92.3 this afternoon they mentioned had they not wasted money on Grady, Derek Lowe, Kotchman and the Artist Formerly Known as Fausto this offseason they could have allocated it toward signing Fielder. Which would you guys rather have?
Nice.BR1986FB;1095008 wrote:the Artist Formerly Known as Fausto
This. Plus, Lowe+Grady+Fausto+Kotchman=$20 million. Prince is making $23 million this year and will make $214 million over the next 9 years. You can't just say we get rid of those guys and we could have had Prince. Plus we would have had more holes in the starting rotation then we do now.lhslep134;1095023 wrote:Maybe we could have paid him this year lol but we weren't throwing the amount of money the Tigers did at him.

Instead, we pick up Ubaldo for our 2 top pitching prospects. Once again, Indian management gets hoodwinked.
It amazes me the variance in payroll between the 2 teams....each city of which has economic problems.
Tell you what, we'll trade you our owner for your owner, and we will throw in the Columbus Clippers as a buffer.
Really though Dave Dombrowski is a great GM, built the 97 Marlins and this current rise with the Detroit Tigers is all him. Also Mr Illitch wants to win a World Series for the city of Detroit sooo bad that he will do anything it takes which is why he's sunken this much money into the club
