tigers remaining offseason

tigers - brewers

det gets: of r. braun + '16 comp. balence round b pick (4)
mil gets: sp k. ziomek (7) + rp d. verhagen (17) + 3b n. castellanos + of t. collins

tigers add braun who can take over in leftfield and they add a draft pick

brewers add 4 young guys who can contribute on a rebuilding team and castellanos would play at third since ramirez retired
======================================================================================
tigers - orioles

det gets: rp t. scott (21) + 1b t. mancini (12) + '16 comp. balance round b pick (5)
bal gets: 1b v. martinez

tigers add 2 young prospects who played good in the minors and scott can throw 100 plus and mancini can hit and be a future replacement for miggy and they add another draft pick

orioles add martinez to be their primary dh since davis most likely won't come back
======================================================================================
tigers - angels - dbacks
det gets:
laa = 3b k. kubitza (6)
ari = rp r. burr (23) + if i. diaz (14) + '16 comp. a round a pick (4)
laa gets:
ari = sp mid level prospect + 2b/ 3b a. hill
det = of a. gose
ari gets:
det = 2b i. kinsler
laa = rp j. jewell (10) + c j. bandy (27)

tigers add kubitza who can be the tigers third baseman since they traded castellanos in a trade above and in the future can play with his brother (austin) and they also add burr who is a good reliever and diaz who is added for infield depth and another draft pick

angels add a mid level prospect that will be named later and aaron hill who can be the third basemen for the angels and they add a good fielding outfielder to go along with trout and kalhoun and be the leftfielder

dbacks add kinsler to be the secondbasemen and since he's from arizona would help and also 2 prospects who can make an impact for the dbacks

3b: kyle kubitza
lf: ryan braun
cf: cameron maybin / austin jackson
rf: jd martinez
dh: chris davis / miguel cabrera

c: jarrod saltalamacchia
if: mike aviles
of: cameron maybin / austin jackson

sp1: jordan zimmermann
sp2: justin verlander
sp3: anibal sanchez
sp4: daniel norris
sp5: mike pelfrey / josh johnson / michael fulmer / shane greene

lr: mike pelfrey / josh johnson / michael fulmer / shane greene

mr2: neftali feliz / seung hwan oh / bruce rondon / joe jimenez
mr3: blaine hardy
mr4: alex wilson
su1: mark lowe
su2: justin wilson
cl: francisco rodriguez

tigers would have an extra bullpen arm which is their biggest weakness cause having aviles on the bench, he can play everywhere (he even pitched an inning) but not catcher which is what saltalamacchia is for and the bullpen has a lot of new faces which is a plus and feliz, oh, rondon and jimenez would compete for 2 spots which most likely goes to feliz and rondon with oh not far behind and unless hardy continus to pitch well, there is depth the tigers never had and by having aviles on the bench, there technically is no need for a 4th bench player as he can give machado a break or kubitza a break or anyone in the outfield
======================================================================================
1) cf cameron maybin / austin jackson
2) lf ryan braun
3) 1b/ dh miguel cabrera
4) 1b/ dh chris davis
5) rf jd martinez
6) 3b kyle kubitza
7) c james mccann
8) 2b dixon machado
9) ss jose iglesias

this lineup would be having 5 new faces and that can help the tigers as the combo of maybin and jackson can help fielding and speed, braun could hit behind davis and miggy but he can get on base for the heart of the order and help get more runs scored, davis would hit behind miggy as he is a power threat with the only downside being he strikes out alot, martinez would be a good 5th hitter beind miggy and davis and braun, kubitza would get the majority of the at bats with aviles getting a few starts there, mccann seems to be the future catcher for the tigers with griener waiting in the minors, machado is a slick fielder and having him as a teammate to iglesias could help and become the modern day version of whitaker and trammell for the next 15 plus years.

I get the feeling you are cookie with an new account. Same type of posts he does and just as bad.

these are lop-sided in detroit's favor. for example, if you think the brewers would trade braun for that package of garbage, then something is wrong. detroit's prospect base is questionable anyways, and these are sad.

BATMAN! You're 100% correct there's no doubt in my mind it's cookie I stopped reading after the Ryan Braun trade but it has cookie written all over it minus the all caps of course.

I agree because it is obnoxiously long and it is cookie.

No way the Angels touch this. Aaron Hill would put them in the luxury tax and if Arte Moreno won't go into the tax for Cespedes, Upton, or Gordon there is no way he will for Aaron Hill.
