In Detroit he won't be asked to be the #1 like in Florida. In Detroit he'll have run support. He'll also have a lot of veteran leaders around him. He'll be playing for a veteran manager and have a veteran catcher, and I'm sure Chuck Hernandez will work on his mechanics. Also add the fact that he'll be playing for a contender and in a packed stadium, he'll be rejuvenated. Honestly, all we need from him is to give 200 innings. The Tigers problem last year was the starters not giving a lot of innings and the Tigers needing to go to the bullpen early. The guy was runner up for the Cy Young and is only 25, I don't think his career is finished. He is still a solid pitcher.

I like him and I wish him the best

too bad he wont hit anymore (only in interleague)

I remember when he hit a grand slam against the Mets in 06 (yes...I was there too)

Yea his offensive numbers were better then Inge's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Maybe all that base runnings effected his legs and screwed up his delivery.

"The Tigers, meanwhile, appeared on Tuesday night to be on the verge of dealing six young players to the Marlins for third baseman Miguel Cabrera and left-hander Dontrelle Willis.

"The Mets really couldn't match that package," one GM said.

Moreover, people familiar with the Mets' maneuvering here said the club was unaware Willis had been made available. He might have been a pretty good get for the Mets, though not on the same level of Bedard, Santana or Haren."

I am so proud of my team!
