just think if the Tigers would have cut Zimmerman in the off season like so many people here wanted. They would have been on the hook for his entire $25M. He's a bargain at $9.25M

Prince making $6M this year, the 3rd highest paid Tiger this year.

Eventually they need to spend some for chrissakes. We seem to be hitting the same one year rental injury bug

The Tigers should be in better financial shape than their peers.
With less exposure to losses in 2020, the club should be on the right side of a buyer?s market for talent.

When his son takes over, that will stop, IMO.

If Detroit Tiger fans need any more proof that the owner has slammed that wallet shut, here it is. Shane Greene just signed with the Atlanta Braves to help them with their struggling bullpen. They are paying him app. $1.2 mill.

Meanwhile, the Tigers have MLB's worst bullpen by far with a 6.58 ERA. Scraping the bottom of the barrel by recalling Joe Jimenez who is having a tough time in AAA and gave up a HR that cleared the stadium and landed on a residential street.

Clearly there are multiple issues at hand. The biggest is in the rebuild they got absolutely destroyed in most of their trades sans the one that brought them Candy. The JV trade was a little bad luck but the JD trade was robbery the day it happened.

Secondly, the development of the youngsters. Other than the pitchers that were can't miss guys the organization has been horrendous in milking the full potential of their minor league system.

And then finally building a team with one guaranteed contract besides a stifling anchor deal isn't going to meet the kind of chemistry and drive to win games.

CI will apply the John Fetzer method of building a winning team: Build from within, stay competitive, and don?t lose money.

But I don?t expect CI to consult Ouija boards for advice.

If any/some of the Tigers prospects from draft picks are to pan out, it is my opinion that it will be despite their farm system, and not b/c of it. They have had high picks for quite a few drafts already, and it certainly doesn't look like that will change anytime soon.

MLB desperately needs a salary floor- just don?t call it that.
