    Am I the only one..

    Am I the only one who is praising the Tigers' General Manager for their off season moves? I think they have a very very good off season.

    I still don't get their offseason. That's just me.

    No, I think their offseason was solid. The Scherzer/Jackson trade was solid for the Tigers, especially now that Damon is in their OF.

    The Valverde signing is the weakest, I think.

    I guess you can praise him. I mean, it wasn't bad but to say it was really good is a stretch. They did what they could which wasn't much, but their 2010 team will be worse than last year.

    I don't know about that. I think it will be much better. Verlander Porcello Scherzer can only get better at their ages

    Anyways. I think he is a great general manager

    Re: Am I the only one..

    Porcello should be better, although I doubt he's THAT much better, but what does that have to do with the off-season? I mean, the team looks like this.

    Polanco > Sizemore
    Granderson > A. Jackson
    E. Jackson > Scherzer
    Raburn > Damon

    Scherzer is better than E. Jackson, but there are still question marks about starting. I think Sizemore will be good, but to say he's going to start hitting out of the gate would be like me saying Adam Moore is going to hit .800 in his first year. Granderson to Austin Jackson is probably a 2-3 win loss and Raburn and Damon are maybe a 1 win difference.

    Like I said, he did what he could this off-season, but it wasn't great.
