I feel the same way Mitch.

I have been having this feeling that Victor will be moved.
Tigers will have to cover some of the salary, one less and maybe the slowest player in the AL traded to a team needing a DH.

Isn't it likely that if he does get moved it will be to your back yard to replace David Ortiz?

That's the place I'd bet if he's moved.



That is a good possibility. If so, I could see him batting lower in their deep lineup as well.

Miggy is half the reason I even watch them, if they were to trade him there is a very good chance I'd end up scaling back my commitment to watching and following along here just like I have with the lions after Calvin retired..it's just not the same anymore. I'd get over JV but miggy I would not
 
MIggy is headed to the hall for sure and jv is getting close. I sure want Miggy to wear the tiger hat. But I would trade either if you said we would win a ws title soon.
 
Tigers purchase contracts of Myles Jaye and Chad Bell from MudHens, reinstate Drew VerHagen from 60-day DL. Their 40-man roster is filled.

That's easy said then done. No guarantee you're win a WS at any time regardless who you trade. No way we get talent back that equals JV and Miggy.. Just a few unknowns which could be unknown pieces of shit..

they don't have to be traded for just prospects.
 
sure they do...just not very often. The Granderson trade got the Tigers Scherzer who was only 25

First of all Granderson was still in his 20's not making near what JV and Miggy make and Max wasn't any good.
