Agreed. Detroit is hardly all sunshine and rainbows like San Diego. But I think there's more pressing problems with the Tigers than where they play.

I think that Mr. Hoffman could handle the cold, sleet, snow of a Michigan Apri with a few million dollars to keep him warm.

It would be a good way for the Tigers to go at this point.

sigh...
I don't know. Detroit needs alot more than Hoffman. and although Hoffman has recovered before from years like he had last there comes a time, when at especially his age, where you just can't recover anymore. I still would rather see Lyon in our Pen, but the Vet presence of Hoffman would be helpful none the less. If we for some reason went after both Lyon and Hoffman I would be elated, Lyon to set up and Hoff to shut em down would be great- but I think I am just wishful thinking right now...

Hey, it's just about the Holiday Season, and wishful thinking is not only allowed, but encouraged!

Does Detroit need a one or two out middle reliever?

Ouch! **** Cards fans- don't you have a drink or something that your supposed to be getting LaRussa!

Go for it if you want a 41 year old closer who has seen his ERA rise over 70 points in each of the last two years. Leyland may need a case of sour mash if Detroit goes into next season with Hoffman as their closer.

We did land Cabrera last Christmas...

Let's hope our next move is less like the Renteria move and more like ... ummm... lets just hope its a good move.

I am hoping for the non Renteria 2 extra picks move and any additions via free agency. Time to stock the farm, not further gut it...

The problems with the Padres are a mountain range compared to the ant hill problems with Detroit.

detroit has some holes, but it will be interesting to see what happens with the pitching now that they have a good pitching coach. the offense will always be there

I heard Detroit was talking to Kerry Wood about a performance based contract.

I think that's the better move. He wasn't a top closer last year; but, he was a very solid closer. I'm surprised the Cubs are letting him walk.

He wants too much $$$ and he's perennially injured. I've witnessed his career of half seasons.

Spam X1.........again.........whatever.
