Things that bother me about the Fister trade:
1) Tigers lose a bargaining chip in Scherzer discussions
2) No guarantee that Porcello will play anything like last year: He had a good rookie year, three mediocre (at best) years, and then last year
3) With an improved middle infield, wouldn't you rather have a groundball pitcher?
4) Fister had more value than Porcello? Then why did we get 2 role players and a not ready for majors prospect? Also, see point #2.
I'm afraid that this may not be the panic that we're seeing. We have until the end of next season to put something together; if we don't get it by then, this may be hedging our bets for a firesale rebuilding, the likes of which not seen since DD's days in Miami.
