I lifted that info from the story in the Phoenix paper -- and didn't apply the Tigers' situation. I'm with Ian. With that new context, I say go for Cruz. Thanks for the correction, Bill.

The concerns about his walk rate and his lack of experience are valid, but the Tigers really need a fireballer out of the bullpen. I also don't think he'll be overpriced, with teams looking to keep the closer market down. That should keep the middle reliever market in control, too.

The D'Backs would get a pick, but it would be a sandwich pick - a gift from the CBA - not the Tigers. Cruz would cost the Tigers just their second round pick since the first rounder is protected because they were in the lower half of the league. Lyon doesn’t cost a pick.
