Tigers do the unthinkable this summer...

[durtymrclean]

With the Mets falling deeper and deeper into the shitter, the time to "pounce" on their roster will be ripe this upcoming June. With the Tigers obviously lacking defensively up the middle and on the left side of the infield, they will make a HUGE splash this trade deadline by trading for the package of David Wright, Johan Santana, and Daniel Murphy (who can handle 2b) for the package of Turner, Smyly, Raburn, and Castellenos, sending Miggy to LF/DH And solidifying not only the defense, but also creating prob one of the must lethal lineups in MLB history.

Look at this lineup:
Murphy-2b
Wright-3b
Miggy-LF/1B/DH
Prince-1B/DH
Boesch-RF
Avila-C
Peralta-SS
Young-DH/LF
Jackson-CF

Rotation:
JV
Fister
Scherzer
Santana
Porcello.

(Pipe dreams of a fan)

Maybe wright could play 2b and murphy in lf?

I doubt the Tigers add significant payroll this summer. - next summer - summer beyond that. Please don't expect Ilitch to go beyond the roundabout 130M number in team payroll.

In the meantime, spend money at the ballpark to help finance this team. Listen /Watch / DVR Tigers games to improve TV / radio ratings.

You don't have to worry about this board... A few go to the games but the rest of us watch all of the time if we can.. Man I am excited..

Yep - me too! This will be an exciting team to watch.

Last season was really exciting, with all the comeback games - plus a number of high scoring affairs.

I prefer offense over pitching duels.... until the 8th inning anyways. Then I love watching / hearing the crowd get loud with every pitch thrown in a pitching duel. But from innings 1-7, I find no offense somewhat boring.

Just me thou.... my preference.

I REALLY don't see this happening. Santana is due to make an average of $25mil/yr for the next three seasons and is coming off a season out of baseball with serious shoulder surgery and he's gonna be 33y/o to start this season.

I do believe we'll make a mid-season move, possibly a big one for a 2B/LF/LHP, but I think there's less than a 1% chance we'd be adding another $25mil/yr player.

I watch all the games on mlb.tv i think out TV rating will be fine this year along with all the fair weather fans going to a bunch of games this year to see Prince

I actually think Mr. I will add to the payroll if the Tigers don't win it this year. The Prince move shows he's all in for the next 3-5 years. He's going for it. Baseball has no cap and he's worth about 2 billion dollars. I expect the Tigers to make more moves and 1 or 2 may be pretty significant.

If he didn't also own the Red Wings I believe he would've signed Cliff Lee last year
