Eric Hosmer, a slugging high school star from Florida, may drop because of high bonus demands. If that happens, he could be an option for Detroit. Like Rick Porcello last year, his advisor is Scott Boras.

Mike Illitch will do whatever it takes to keep the Tigers competitive. I just hope they don't sign and then trade him awasy in a bust deal. But...what are the odds of that happening?

Knowing our luck, we'll get him and then we'll trade him and Porcello in two years to the Marlins for another bust for us and all-star for them...

They should sign preppie and Slater. He came up big against Valley.

The Tigers really know how to spend their money wisely. After all, they did a great job in free agency, didn't they?

Is that his picture? he's a dead ringer for Leyland!

June 4, 2008  06:07 PM ET

Well whatever - too late for this year !!!

June 4, 2008  09:05 PM ET

A FACT - that is the best picture.

GatorBeanCounter - what free agents? Last free agents the TIgers signed were Pudge and Magglio. Seems like two good deals to me. All the overpaid buffoons were acquird via TRADES.
