nice trade for the tigers

[MtrCtyPimp]

1. Renteria SS
2. Polanco 2B
3. Ordonez RF
4. Sheffield DH
5. Guillen 1B
6. Cabrera 3B
7. Granderson CF
8. Pudge C
9. Jacque Jones LF

You can swap Renteria & Granderson based on the L/R if they choose

1. Verlander
2. Rogers
3. Bonderman
4. Willis
5. Robertson

The back end of the bullpen needs a lift and thats assuming Zumaya comes back healthy as planned

That lineup looks tough

nice trade for the tigers

Florida got 3 if not 4 great pitching prospects who are ready to contribute at the ML level IMO....Miller can pitch at this level and he was graded as the best pitcher in last years draft and Trahern and DeLaCruz were tearing it up in AA and were gettin ready to get moved up with a chance to contribute on the ML level...Im not familiar with Bradenhop

Everyone supposedly says Maybin is a cant miss player compared to the likes of Soriano but if you ask me Ill take the known commodity 24/7 in Miggy

PEACE

The Marlins got good players, but shit the Tigers just got Cabrera

Marlins got prospects who are minor league proven....Tigers got a proven ML All Star who is what, 24 years old? Thats why I love Dombrowski....he just keeps reloading the farm system because he knows talent and then passes it off for ML Studs and the Tigers have no problem spending now as they drew over 3 million last year

Wow, should be a battle in the AL Centreal next year.

They still won't be able to beat Boston, LAA or Cleveland with that pitching staff.

Great Trade Which I Think Puts The Tigers As World Series Favorites Just In Front Of The Redsox And Angels - If ----- Their Starting Pitching Stays Healthy

Tigers look stacked

World Series favorites? It helps them alot, but I don't even think it makes them favorites for their division.

Cabrera is an all out stud, but Dontrelle isn't going to get better switching from the AAAA to the AL.

GREAT TRADE FOR BOTH TEAMS HELPS FLA ALOT IN $$$$ AND IN 3 YRS HELPS DETROIT CONSIDERABLY NOW.I WONDER IF WILLIS WILL HIT WHEN HE PITCHES

THEY WILL WIN THE DIVISION GOING AWAY

ONLY THREATS ARE CLEVLAND AND THE TWINS.PROBLEM IS WILD CARD WILL ALMOST FOR SURE COME FROM AL EAST YANKEES OR BOSTON WHOEVER DOES NOT WIN THE DIVISION.SO TO WIN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE YOU WILL HAVE TO BEAT BOSTON AND THE YANKEES BACK TO BACK.IF EITHER OF THESE 2 GET SANTANA WOULD BE HARD TO BEAT BECKETT AND SANTANA OR THE YANKEES #1 AND SANTANA IN A 5 GAME SERIES.
