that was a good read. Not sure I like the pitching....looks like a .500 team to me.

that was a good read. Not sure I like the pitching....looks like a .500 team to me.

Adding Zobrist, Jaso and C. Young would immediately improve this team by 10 wins without looking at the pitching (assuming these players replace any combination of Gose/Castellanos/McCann/R. Davis for a large degree of games).

The pitchers suggested aren't world beaters and I personally wouldn't spend a dime on a reliever. But Tyler Ross + Latos/Fister are enough to fill in the starter gaps nicely.

All in all, if you don't spend on relievers, it allows to move forward without spend a great degree of money, except for maybe Zobrist. But I have liked Zobrist to be a Tiger for at least 5 years now.

the only problem is they are only replacing Gose/Davis

Must be a weird feeling saying good bye to your son. I just hope we can get a suitable replacement.

Edit: Also sounds like he doesn't want to bring up too much young pitching at once. The reason he wants two new starters.

Michael Fulmer as of now is a two pitch pitcher. Anyone else think he could help the bullpen?
It's possible he could be a midseason callup.

They need to trade someone. If not Kinsler, Dixon Machado who is already 23.

Tigers are or maybe thinking they need to get younger, so if in fact that be the case, trading Kinsler would net them 9/10 years and Machado could possibly go to second at the league minimum, compared to Kinsler's 16/17 $$M salary. That's what I got out of the story.
