    Good thing they got rid of those two African-American All-Stars. Those would never go over well in a City like Detroit.

    @formerly Chief Wahoo: Nonsense. The guy hits less than his weight against left handers, and disappeared last season. Glad to see him go in exchange for a load of pitching arms. Now, if they could just find a sucker to take Inge, the master of the check swing strikeout, the Tigers might really be on to something.

    @cromartie: Uh, Inge is huge on defense, was an All Star last season, and hit decently despite playing through an injury for most of the year.

    @Clarence Rosario: Right. How'd he do after the all star break? He's a career .230 hitter at a position where you need power, average, or both. Save the good with the glove/bad with the bat for Shortstop or Catcher.

    He's an overpaid liability who is .040 worse than the average player at his position. Blow him out the door while another GM who thinks like you will take his overvalued contract off the Tigers hands.

    Dash, considering that for his career Granderson has hit .210 and slugged .344 against lefties, this seems like a good deal.

    In comparison, Carlos Zambrano has hit .236 and slugged .396 for his career.

    @RebirthOfHernandezStache: I havent watched Granderson play everyday so I don't know how to feel about the deal entirely. That being said, isnt the reason good lefty pitchers are so coveted is because they are so rare?

    Seems like a silly reason not to make a trade, or think you fleeced the team you traded him to.

    @dont-forget-where-you-came-from-cheese mac: I wasn't really saying it didn't make sense for the Yanks. Granderson hit 30 HR's last year, he could easily do it again in Yankee Stadium. If need be, they could platoon in CF.

    But if you're the Tigers and you have Ordonez and Guillen making a combined $30 mil in your OF, I think slashing payroll makes sense. In that case, they did well to bring in younger, cost-controlled prospects.

    For the D-Bags, well, I got nothing.

    He could have been the face of the Tigers for many, many years.

    The same could be said of Shanmugalingam Sivashankar, but Sri Lankan army rocket launchers, while antiquated, are quite accurate.

    In reply to Joe Torre Is Happy For The Yankees - No, Really
    Yankees win first World Series in 10 years after committing nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars to players who will be past their primes when the real money kicks in.

    I'd say he's happy for the Yankees like I'm happy for my ex-girlfriend getting married. (She hasn't yet seen her husband's genital herpes outbreaks)
