I wonder why Fox sports Detroit doesn't show more spring training games seem like other teams televise more then a few games, as I watch the sox on NESN right now
Not to happy though with tigers going with closer by committee. Maybe someone will step up and be a closer "most of the time"
Of the people available to them, who would you choose to be the full time Closer ?
Leyland spoke earlier in the ST about having alot of Closers on the team to get the job done, but No one that he thought could go a long stretch, such as back to back to back ...
Just asking ...
Personally, I would have gone after the yankee Closer Soriano when everyone expected them too.
Then again I never would have given A. Sanchez 80M either.
Could have saved about 20M (or more) signed him for 60M if possible, if not, let the Dodgers have him, think they were the other ones involved at the time. and then sign Soriano to a 20M 2 year deal and bring Rondon in slowly to learn the role like they tried to with Zumaya.
Your Twins have thier Opening Day game planned for 4 pm Est.
Cool. I can get home at the top of the second.
I'm not to worried about the closers. Most of the time they come in and only have to get 3 outs with no one on base and a couple run lead. If that is the worst part about our team I think we will be ok.
In other news the Tigers and Verlander have agreed to an extension that can go up to $202 million and 8 years. I don't care about the money or the fact that we will still be paying him until he's 38. I'm just glad to have him locked up for the rest of his career.
