Sigh

To renew or not to renew. I hope in a year or two that we are happy with the talent that came to the Tigers. I think the trade will be a plus for the team on the talent side, but losing Granderson hurts. He is(was) the face of this team and is an ambassador for the sport(literally). He will do very well in New York, and that town will love him. Jeter will continue to be their favorite, but Granderson will be their 1A,

I will probably renew, but it will be a rough year.

Anybody need tickets? $40 a pair.

Goodbye Polanco

The Tiger's did not tender an arbitration order to Placido yesterday, which means the end of Polanco as a Tiger. The Phillies have had some interest in him as a 3rd baseman and I am sure other teams will send him some offers on the cheap. He was my favorite Tiger for many reasons. The way he wore a scuba suit in April and October(November of 2006, too). I mostly like his approach to batting. Short stride, short swing hit it where it was pitched. Not a lot of guys like that these days.

I hope to be able to have Granderson as my favorite Tiger for next year. We'll see how the Winter meetings go...

Well that didn't take long...Why didn't we offer him arbitration to get the bonus pick???????
