I know he'll hit eventually. Knowone would probably give us anything for Maggs, but if we could get somebody good- why not? Even if the Tiger's go to the postseason, we are going to have to rebuild the team a little. I dont want to dismantle the team, but I can't stand to watch Maggs in RF. There are too many DH'S. Guillen should be gone, and if a trade comes along that benefits the Tiger's-why not? I'd love to see Maggs stay in Detroit,it's just hard watching him play RF. I'm more worried about Guillen. I don't care if he can hit, there's no place for him defensively even if he was healthy.

He's a good hitter with the perfect approach for Comerica. It's not like he's a catcher or middle infielder, where the aging process seems to hit them all at once. Guillen on the other hand, is too prone to physical breakdown and they should start seeing him as a part-timer. Perhaps the 'super-sub' role they tried for Inge last year. And yes, Everett is a solid player, but I still like Santiago better. I still think he can do more things. Maggs will be fine. He’s a good hitter with the perfect approach for Comerica.
