[QUOTE="iceteebone, post: 3462116, member: 549344"] Really? If the Tigers sign A-rod, that is 7 regulars who were former all-stars, (Polanco, Magglio, Sheffield, Guillen, Renteria, Pudge, then A-rod) Not to mention Granderson who should've been an All-star over Manny or Sizemore. Then pitching you have an young ace and all-star in Verlander, Bonderman would've been an all-star if not for that jap in Boston, you have Zumaya and Rodney in the pen, Miller and Porcello waiting in the wings. This roster is better then you are giving credit. This offense is better then the Angels, Dodgers, or Mets. The Tigers were 4th in the league in attendance last year behind New York Yankees, Boston and Anaheim. Tigers rank middle of the pack in terms of ticket price, whereas the other 3, are near the top in ticket price. You add A-rod to a contender, and you are guaranteed at least 3 million fans again. Detroit is also the 10th largest metro area, not including western Ontario. That is a big enough market to support an increase in payroll. You still haven't given me anything as to why the Tigers won't increase payroll. They have an owner who has said publicly he'll increase payroll, they have shown in the past they will spend for free agents, management has a great relationship with Boras. Pudge, Magglio, Rogers, Porcello are all Boras clients. The team has the fan support. Their window of opportunity is now. [/QUOTE]
