I thought this article was telling. As a fan of the club, I have tried to have an open mind about Avila. My faith in the guy is non-existent at this point. The moves the Tigers made last year sure seem to line up exactly with what Doug is saying. Essentially, they would rather destroy careers of prospects than look wrong.
