Chicago Sports: While Our Teams Fiddle, Tigers Burn

... Chicago Sports: While Our Teams Fiddle, Tigers Burn The big winners on Thursday were—drum roll, please—those persistent Detroit Tigers. For the third year in a row they defied Commissioner Bud Selig s spending police to land a stud who should have gone to a team that really needed him. This time it was Rick Porcello, arguably the best high school pitcher in the draft, who slid all the way down to the 27th spot. The Tigers ended his fall because they—unlike the White Sox, who claimed University of San Francisco lefty Aaron Poreda two spots earlier—are willing to negotiate with Scott Boras. No, these aren t the Tigers of the 1990s and early 2000s. Where have you gone, Seth Greisinger?
