with 37 games left in the season, Beer should be sweating bullets.
Tigers 51-74 just need to go 30-7 to be .500 for the season !

I wish we were better but this rebuild is going to take a couple of years. Dumbrowski totally gutted our farm system. Avila is building it back up but it's leaving the big league Tigers cupboard pretty bare. |

Can you have your cake an eat it too ? ---------------- Remember when we were in the WS getting punished ?! Good times ! |

I added Carlos Rodon from the White Sox to my fantasy team last week. He makes his first start for me on Wednesday. I've never heard of him. I also have someone with almost the same last name, Hector Rondon, on my fantasy team, lol. I forgot to play Rodon, or I didn't see the green mark by his name, when I set my lineup.  |

Develop players, or help evaluate to see if they are MLB ready. So he was to field a W/S pro team and develop another semi-pro team ? Where was the semi-pro talent to come from ? |

Scouts and the GM.

so you are saying the scouts and GM got cheated in talent or made bad trades. I'm guessing Dom wasn't watching the minor league teams that well. Because he was occupied stealing talent from major league teams like: Rangers-Rodgers Marlins-Cabrera Diamondbacks-Scherzer etc |

Maybe they needed someone else to focus more on scouting minor league talent. They did a good job getting players from other major league teams, as you pointed out. |

A lot of the stars they acquired were through trades in which the Tigers gave up high-level prospects. We mortgaged the future to try to buy a World Series for Mr. Ilitch while he was alive.

(I'd look it up on pro-sports transactions if I knew which trades you were referring to exactly).

If you look at any of the big names they traded for, you can see who they gave up.... Here is Miggy, for example: www.espn.com/mlb/news/story?id=3141703 |

that was 6 for 2
Dontrelle Willis was a massive fail. He coulda been a solid closer or holder.
But only Maybin was ever heard from.

He had a decent year for the Brewers in 2011 in 11 games. I could go either way on the trade. Cabrera was a great player for many years. But 2 future major league players in Maybin and Miller were given up. |
