I for one am on board with bringing the Geiko Caveman to Detroit. I love his left handed bat and would expect him to be a doubles machine because of the vastness of Comerica. I know he isn't the blazer that he once was and has a t-rex like throwing motion but he can still help with the load at all 3 outfield positions and take some of the pressure off Austin Jackson, who contrary to what I've heard from the Tiger's slappys, probably will not be the second coming of Willie Mays. I just don't think Cashman woulda been shopping him like 5 cent lemonade if he was. They were definitely off him for whatever reason. And if that isn't enough then the icing on the cake is Lloyd McClendon saying Jackson has an almost perfect swing. Ohhh Shhiiittt, Man! If Lloyd is saying that, dude probably cant hit Tila Tequila
Of course this all hinges on being able to get a 1 or 2 year deal real cheap. Getting some production for your money would be a nice change of pace after maxing out the credit card paying for Dontrell's shrink, Bondermania's doctor appointments and Magglio's haircuts. But I really dont know if this is relevant because I can't get a handle on whether or not the Tigers are even trying to be competetive this upcoming year. Dombrowski needs to either go at this hard and get guys who will produce(Valverde) or continue the firesale(Polanco) by burning down Comerica and collecting the insurance money.
PS- If this doesnt work out I hear we are going after Jim Edmunds who killed it last year with the..., oh wait, who did he play with last year?
