This is my favorite part..

Seeing either outfielder end up in Detroit would be somewhat of a surprise considering the fact that GM Al Avila has previously indicated that he?s probably done pursuing outfield help after acquiring Cameron Maybin from the Braves.

So Maybin's it?

I hope not. I think Cespedes might end up being a Mr. I driven signing.

I'd love to see Alex Gordon, but another contract like that is going to kill this franchise for the future, and it seems Mr. I just plain does not give a fuck and only wants his title.

I'm starting to dislike him.

Updated at 4:12...Tigers are "out" on both Cespedes and Gordon.

That's because we have Maybin. I rather have Delmon Young back.

 

[tigermud]

So who is our left fielder again? Collins?

Perplexed

You should be banned for this post. Even for thinking it.

Cespedes wants 6 years for $150 Mil ($25 Mil a year average). Explains why he is still unemployed.

Alex Gordon, a better all-around LFer than Cespedes, signed for 4 years at $72 Mil ($18 Mil a year average).

Cot Dang that's a lotta million. Any idea what Upton's asking price is?

Tigers supposedly considering Raburn, wouldn't be the worst thing. I could live with a Collins/Rayburn platoon over gose starting in LF. I don't love either option but I think one is much better offensively

lots of bad memories with him, especially on defense. he played a lot of positions, all of them poorly. from an offensive standpoint i'd gladly take a raburn/collins platoon over Gose. we have too many dead spots in the lineup with no power.

 

[biggunsbob]

Please no raburn..I agree we do not need another roster stiff.

Last 3 years Away

T. Collins 96.6 RC/650 .354 OBP .460 SLG .814 OPS

R. Raburn 93.9 RC/650 .331 OBP .503 SLG .834 OPS

Y. Cespedes 90.9 RC/650 .312 OBP .504 SLG .816 OPS

J. Upton 86.2 RC/650 .331 OBP .439 SLG .770 OPS

D. Fowler 78.7 RC/650 .350 OBP .370 SLG .720 OPS


I swear to god some people can be so prejudiced against some players. Now, I am not someone that wants another Righthanded hitter on the roster. I believe we are way too Righthanded dependent as it stands now. So that would be my objection against Raburn. Otherwise, I have no issues as long as he is used like he was in Cleveland and not what Leylad did.

[tomdalton22]

but does he really help the team. The ONLY thing he can do is hit LH pitching. He is like McCann

 

[Mitchrapp]

They can't afford that. Even though M.I. hinted he could go over the tax threshold, I don't believe he actually wants to.

Stiffs with a .930 OPS are welcome on this team, that's just last year but someone over .750 should have a roster spot. I'd take Raburn/Collins over Gose any day. Are you saying you wouldn't?
