Tigers got the 5th starter that they hope will keep us on top. With Seattle not in out division, I do not know much about either Fister or Pauley, but they have to help. Early in the season I liked Furbush, but he has faded - I still believe he is a great prospect. Casper Wells was on a team with a crowded outfield - has to be a good move for both teams.

With the election of Spark, we complete our little Hot Stove project of selecting the Greatest Tiger Team. This was fun.
Who Was the Greatest Tiger Reliever, DH/PH
We resoundingly agree that Willie Hernandez was the best reliever, but we tied on Rusty Staub or Daryl Evans for DH or pinch hitter
Kaline is the Unanimous Rightfielder
In our second consecutive unanimous vote, Al Kaline, is chosen as the Greatest Tiger Rightfielder!
Cobb is Unanimous!
Nobody liked him, but we agree he was the best in center
Willie is Our man in Left!
Willie Horton is our choice for the greatest Tiger in left field
Good Ol' George Kell, the Best Tiger at the Hot Corner
At least by our vote, he's been elected. (BTW, thanks to Tom Haggerty for the write up on all the third basemen.)

I wouldn't call it a blockbuster, but it sounds like a good deal for both teams. I saw Furbush and Martinez at Lakeland and I believe they have potential but Tigers need help now.
ReplyDeleteAre you counting Penny as one of the "five starters?" Somebody's got to tell that guy he's not major league anymore.
ReplyDeleteare you saying they should cut penny? as a 5th starter he isnt that bad. 10 quality starts which no team in baseball has a 5 th starter with more and a 4.50 era. he isnt going to win 20 games or throw a no hitter but everybody knew what the tigers where getting when they brought him in. the guy is a solid # 5 starter making fister the #4. i dont understand why they are in such a hurry to send jacob turner down...he looked ready to me??
ReplyDeleteI think they may regret trading Furbush.
ReplyDeletewho knows what the Tiger braintrust is thinking about Turner. Sure he looked great, but shouldn't rush to get him up here. let his self-esteem build, continue to grow and learn.
ReplyDeleteTigers may have just needed a role filler on Saturday, he filled it, did well, way to go kid! I wouldn't have wanted him left in for another pitch. He can feel great about what he did.
I agree. Tigers rused Porcello to the big leagues w/ mixed results. Let Turner develop more.
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of trades, I see the tigers released Purcey, while the guy they traded for him, Scott Sizemore, is hitting .243 w/ 23 RBI for Oakland. Way to go, Dombrowski.
