What do all of you think? Even with his slow start, I think he'll be an offensive upgrade. I know we have a logjam in the outfield, but I'd rather have him than Rowand...

What does it say about the economic conditions around Detroit and the Tigers that they’re willing to eat $18 million in salary (plus a $3 million buyout) just to ensure his 2010 option doesn’t kick in?

They’re not. The Tigers MAY reduce his playing time (in large part so his options don’t vest), but acquiring him would require a trade and picking up a fair amount of his very big ($18 mil this year w/ option for ’10 and ’11). That is not what this team needs. Ordonez means young developing players – Lewis, Schierholtz – get even less playing/development time. This is a short sighted, play for this year and damn the future thinking.

I think he means picking him up Sheff style

If he’s cheap, I see no reason not to. Low risk high reward, I guess.

Proud father of Barry Zito. As long as he keeps throwing strikes, that is.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

Trade straight up for Rowand?

We can get older AND block Schierholtz at the same time.

Get it done, Giants Brass!
