If him needing to be the closer gets the deal done, then do it. Soria/Soriano 8th and 9th would be as good as we've had in a long time.

Pass

Soriano 2014 2nd half = 6.48 ERA 1.60 WHIP .305 OPP BAVG .864 OPP OPS

There is a reason no team has signed him to this point. Unless he signs for the league minimum (Scott Boras client), then I don't like the risk.

Just promote Buck Farmer and let him audition. What is wrong with that?

Nothing wrong with that. They move at the pace of a turtle to do something that makes sense.

Yep, lets just throw about $12 million at another closer and expect that to fix everything.

A team of closers..rather obvious that's the plan.

I agree.

The problem is Farmer would have to start getting some work in the bullpen down on the farm. The Tiger's always value starters way more than relievers... to a fault. The guy has been lights out down there so far and it only makes sense. Our starting rotation will not keep this up, eventually our bullpen will be exposed for what it really is... GARBAGE
