Blah... Nothing excites me about this one. Prediction, 3-13 with a 5.12 ERA. But, we have a great bullpen, so maybe if he gives us 4 inning a start.....

I agree. He feels more like a Simon or Greene type signing to me, in that he doesn't seem to have great upside, but has potential for great downside. Seems more like a 5 spot guy, which we already have in Norris.

Had to laugh/cry when the article said, Norris isn't a shoe in for the #5 spot in the rotation. When Lobster and the mighty Buck Farmer are listed as other options??? C'mon!

Signed Mike Pelfrey. ick.

I suppose it 'could' be somewhat ok. He is supposedly a ground ball pitcher and the D should be good. If he's a ground ball pitcher, that's a lot of seeing eye singles.

Blah

Detroit Tigers sign veteran catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia

Report: Detroit Tigers near deal with reliever Mark Lowe

CONN CHRIS · 12-07-2015, 08:59 AM

Lowe @ two years is a good pen add.

cephasjames · 12-07-2015, 11:21 AM

I kind of like the idea of Salty. He's a veteran worth $8 million, but we get him for the league minimum. I'm alright with Holly, but having a veteran is a better deal.

David Watts · 12-09-2015, 08:39 AM

Still wanting to see some more names added to the bullpen. Heard they are interested in Tony Sipp. I like that. He's had two strong seasons in a row now. Oh and we need a left fielder.

David Watts · 12-09-2015, 09:06 PM

Justin Wilson from the Yankees. He had a nice season last year. I know nothing about the prospects they gave up. Hope this is another piece of bullpen puzzle. Now let's get a left fielder. So far I'm like our new GM.

CONN CHRIS · 12-14-2015, 04:29 PM

They signed Mark Lowe and I missed it. Not much, a little old but had a pretty competent year in the pen last season. I like the effort thus far.

Actually, I noticed it days ago! Guess it was a memorable signing.

Lobster DFA.

Not sure what his contract is but he might clear waivers. Might. He should thank God he's a lefty so this for sure isn't the end for him. I seriously could see the Royals claiming him and putting him in the pen.

I like Lobster more than the amazing Buck Farmer. Farmer is useless.

David Watts · 12-22-2015, 10:18 AM

Lobstein goes to Pirates for cash considerations.

David Watts · 12-31-2015, 10:14 AM

Keep seeing things saying that the Tigers are still interested in Cespedes if they can get him for the right price. Am I the only one that would rather see them pursue Alex Gordon?

cephasjames · 01-19-2016, 05:55 AM

Tigers, OF Justin Upton agree to 6-year, $132.75M deal

Hope this doesn't mean they have to sign Melvin as well.

David Watts · 01-19-2016, 08:29 AM

Makes me wonder just how much Cespedes is asking for?

cephasjames · 01-19-2016, 09:43 AM

One of the determingin factors for getting Upton, that I read, is that he's two years younger than Cespedes. I wonder if that came into play more than Cespedes' asking price.

I bet it did. For some reason, I thought Upton was older.
