Ok Men, do the Tigers sign Max or try and sign Price to an extension. I do not have a good feeling about Price signing an extension. He seems a little remote for that clubhouse and I would rather trade him and not miss out. They will have a tough time winning without Max because he is their leader and new bulldog. Justin is having way too much fun with Kate Upton, although I do think that he will be better than last season.
What do you think of Cespedes? I think that he might be the long term answer in left field and he will sign an extension.
The boys of Venezuela run that clubhouse and it will be interesting to see how this works with the two Cubans (Iglegias and Cespedes).
The Tigers are still the class of the Central Division and Sanchez is due for a BIG year.
Spring Training is less than 60 days away.

I think it's a mistake to sign Scherzer (or any pitcher his age) to a long-term contract. The returns on investment rarely pay off. If, however, Ilitch wants to throw money around I'd sign Max and deal Price or let him go as a FA after this season and get a draft pick for him. He did not impress me w/ Detroit this year. Cesspits will do fine in LF and at bat but I think the Tigers gave up too much for him (Porcello). You can always get an outfielder but not a good young pitcher. I doubt Uptn has anything to do w/ JV's pitching. He's older and has a lot of miles on his arm. If he falters in the rotation this season I'd try him in the bullpen. Worked for Eckersley and Smoltz.
