Missing the Connection
— tigerblog.net — Alright, Drew Sharp penned a column this morning about the Tigers paying the price for their 2006 gamble and while he brings up some good points he’s kind of all over the place. First off, what does 2006 have to do with it. Outside of trading for Gary Sheffield, the Tigers didn’t ... (more) Missing the Connection

No Starlin Castro For Curtis Granderson
— tigerblog.net — Phil Rogers at the Chicago Tribune struck down a trade for Curtis Granderson that would involve top prospect Starlin Castro. The shortstop prospect had a solid season (.302 batting average) at High A ball and at Double A (.288 average, 12/10 strikeout to walk ratio) as a 19 year old and he ...

Tigers Draft Overview
— tigerblog.net — Marc Hulet at Fangraphs gave a nice synopsis of the Tigers last few draft classes. He says some pretty nice things about Jacob Turner, the Tigers first round draft pick this year, and while the Tigers minor league system was gutted with the pre-2008 season trades, the front office has been able ...

Tigers/Mariners Trade Speculation
— tigerblog.net — Lynn Henning wrote today that he wouldn’t be surprised if the Tigers ship a player or two to Seattle. It still bothers me that there’s all this talk of the Tigers trading for prospects after such a close run last year but what happens in these next couple of months will show what ...

Tigers Set 40 Man Roster
— tigerblog.net — The Tigers added four players to 40 man roster today in anticipation of the midnight deadline. All four were position players and they included future second baseman Scott Sizemore. Audy Ciricao (shortstop), Ryan Strieby (first base) and Brennan Boesch (outfield) were all protected as ... (more) Tigers Set 40 Man Roster

Facebook, Twitter and Free Agents
— tigerblog.net — Tigerblog just entered the 21st century. I finally figured out to how to set up a Facebook fan page so if you want to follow the site that way, sign up as a fan. You can also find me on Twitter at @tigerblog. Free agent signing season begins today. I expect things will be rather subdued until ... (more) Facebook, Twitter and Free Agents

Ron Bourquin Suspended
— tigerblog.net — Minor League infielder Ron Bourquin got a 50 game suspension for testing positive for amphetimines. What’s interesting is Bourquin could have been lost in the Rule 5 draft, but he’s now effectively protected because I doubt a team would want to scoop him up knowing he’ll take ...

Jose Valverde Projected As a Tiger
— tigerblog.net — Paul White at the USA Today is projecting that the Tigers will sign Astros closer Jose Valverde. He’s a little too injury prone for my tastes and my bet is his price tag will be too high. The Tigers have some good young arms to use in the pen. If they’re going to go for [...] (more) Jose Valverde Projected As a Tiger

Billy Martin, Prospects and the Offseason
— tigerblog.net — Just a few quick links. First off, Chris Jaffe has written an excellent book (I’ve seen parts of it) on baseball managers. Evaluating Baseball Managers: A Comprehensive History and Performance Analysis, 1876-2008 goes way back into the 1800s and brings things up to present, analyzing ...

Catching Up
— tigerblog.net — I shouldn’t complain too much because being busy isn’t a bad thing but I’ve been neglecting the site. No promises, but I’m hoping to reverse that and while I want to touch on a few things that have happened since I posted last, way back when, it’ll probably be ... (more) Catching Up

Marcus and Matt
— tigerblog.net — The Tigers made some roster moves a couple of days ago and the big one was the non-tendering of Marcus Thames. That makes him a free agent and it ends his somewhat bizarre career as a Tiger. At times, he looked like he could belt 40 in a year but at other times, he looked [...] (more) Marcus and Matt

Carlos Guillen, Scott Sizemore and the Playoffs
— tigerblog.net — It’s hard to believe it’s been over two weeks since the Tigers collapse. The playoffs are winding down and baseball is less then two weeks away from being finished. It looks like, barring something crazy out of the Angels, that we’ll see the Phillies against the Yankees, ... (more) Carlos Guillen, Scott Sizemore and the Playoffs

The End
— tigerblog.net — “Now his failure is complete” Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi So ends the Tigers season. It was a heck of a game tonight and one that probably would have been more fun if not for the emotional investment. When the dust settled, the Tigers sat as the losers and now their season is ...

Overtime
— tigerblog.net — The Tigers did their job last night, unfortunately, because they didn’t do it the past few days, all they did was force a one game playoff tomorrow against the Twins. There were some great individual performances but the Tigers almost let this one get away as well. Let’s start with ... (more) Overtime

The Hard Way
— tigerblog.net — Like the Spartans this afternoon, the Tigers are taking the hard way to their first division title since 1987. Their loss tonight puts them in a tie with the Twins with one to go. They need a win and then a Twins loss to win the division outright, and it also forces the Tigers to [...] (more) The Hard Way
