This is my favorite part..
Seeing either outfielder end up in Detroit would be somewhat of a surprise considering the fact that GM Al Avila has previously indicated that he?s probably done pursuing outfield help after acquiring Cameron Maybin from the Braves.
So Maybin's it?

I hope not. I think Cespedes might end up being a Mr. I driven signing.

I'd love to see Alex Gordon, but another contract like that is going to kill this franchise for the future, and it seems Mr. I just plain does not give a fuck and only wants his title.
I'm starting to dislike him.

That's because we have Maybin. I rather have Delmon Young back.

Cespedes wants 6 years for $150 Mil ($25 Mil a year average). Explains why he is still unemployed.
Alex Gordon, a better all-around LFer than Cespedes, signed for 4 years at $72 Mil ($18 Mil a year average).

Tigers supposedly considering Raburn, wouldn't be the worst thing. I could live with a Collins/Rayburn platoon over gose starting in LF. I don't love either option but I think one is much better offensively

lots of bad memories with him, especially on defense. he played a lot of positions, all of them poorly. from an offensive standpoint i'd gladly take a raburn/collins platoon over Gose. we have too many dead spots in the lineup with no power.

Please no raburn..I agree we do not need another roster stiff.

T. Collins 96.6 RC/650 .354 OBP .460 SLG .814 OPS
R. Raburn 93.9 RC/650 .331 OBP .503 SLG .834 OPS
Y. Cespedes 90.9 RC/650 .312 OBP .504 SLG .816 OPS
J. Upton 86.2 RC/650 .331 OBP .439 SLG .770 OPS
D. Fowler 78.7 RC/650 .350 OBP .370 SLG .720 OPS
I swear to god some people can be so prejudiced against some players. Now, I am not someone that wants another Righthanded hitter on the roster. I believe we are way too Righthanded dependent as it stands now. So that would be my objection against Raburn. Otherwise, I have no issues as long as he is used like he was in Cleveland and not what Leylad did.

but does he really help the team. The ONLY thing he can do is hit LH pitching. He is like McCann

They can't afford that. Even though M.I. hinted he could go over the tax threshold, I don't believe he actually wants to.

Stiffs with a .930 OPS are welcome on this team, that's just last year but someone over .750 should have a roster spot. I'd take Raburn/Collins over Gose any day. Are you saying you wouldn't?
