Humm, interesting for sure. I still think I would rather have Abreu over Soriano, but that is just me. I think he adds more to a line up and would be a better club house person. Sometimes I wonder why Soriano gets traded so much. Maybe you could enlighten me about that. I dont know, he is a hell of a ball player, but there is something I cant stand about him. I hope Abreu goes there. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

soriano used to be the leadoff hitter for new york. he can get on base and make things happen on the base paths. he gives detroit power behind ordonez wich they need. pitchers are gonna start pitching around magglio cause guillen is not a home run threat. soriano was traded from new york to get alex rodriguez. he was there mpst valuable tradable asset. he got booted from texas cause he was not a good defensive 2nd baseman and washington forced him to play outfield against his wishes. either player would improve the team. i heard washington wants a lot so i hope detroit wouldn't trade zumya or verlander for him

Yeah I see your points and all, but still he just dont do it for me. I mean he hits a lot of homeruns and can drive them in, no question about that, however he dont get as many hits as Abreu and dont spred the ball around as much. I would also take Abreu in the outfield over most outfielders. I mean I dont think Soriano is terrible out there, just seems funny for him to be out there. I dont know I guess, I just really hope they take Abreu who would be a better fit for Detriot over Soriano.

just read a new rumor that soriano is gonna be a tiger. kinda an interesting move. the tigers do lack a bat behind magglio. guillen is a great hitter but he is a 2 or 3 hitter not a number 5 hitter. from what i read seattle and detroit are the front runners

whats the diff between 3 and 5

Edit... oh...and YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD!!!!!! YES!!!!! URIBE!! 2-0........im lovin it...but it aint over yet.

i read the tigers and phillies have a deal for abreu, sending thames and miner to philadelphia for abreu. from what i've read the tigers haven't pulled the trigger on the deal yet. the tigers also have the money to pick up abreu's option

From what Leyland said, it looks like whoever you heard that from is full of shit. Leyland said they have about as good of a chance getting Abreu as a reporter has coaching the Tigers this week.

Vasquez was lucky Pudge didn't put that pitch on the board. Way too high.

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy didnt they put in McCarthy!!!!!! GET VASQUEZ OUT OF CHICAGO!!!!!

 

[ConcernedMember 10+ year member]

Why is Vasquez still in there? He's tired. He's leaving pitches up and hanging breaking ball and slider.

Whooooooohoooooooo, that sounds like some good news!

he fits comerica park nicely. he hits to all fields and is a doubles hitter which favors comerica park. plus he is a good base runner wich the tigers need at the top of their lineup. he'd fit nicely in that 3 hole ahead of magglio.

NewsFlash:::: Detroit won't get Soriano nor will they get Abreu.
