Comments on: Monday Mankowskis: Are the Tigers the 2007 Padres? http://www.dailyfungo.com/2010/01/25/monday-mankowskis-are-the-tigers-the-2007-padres/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:33:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jim Craddock http://www.dailyfungo.com/2010/01/25/monday-mankowskis-are-the-tigers-the-2007-padres/comment-page-1/#comment-69586 Jim Craddock Tue, 26 Jan 2010 23:14:49 +0000 http://www.dailyfungo.com/?p=3078#comment-69586 The Tigers' pitching is deep, and mostly young. That's going to keep them from having to totally start over. They can use some of that excess pitching to fill needs. And as others have said, some big money is coming off the books soon, freeing up cash for some (hopefully) shrewd signings to feel other needs. The Tigers’ pitching is deep, and mostly young.

When the notion first came to mind was right after Game 163 and the Tigers had so many questions -- free agents, bad contracts, etc. -- that I wondered if they would start to dismantle. But now it's clear that they have no intention of retrenching...and that's great news for us Tigers fans. -Mike I agree that the Tigers aren’t on a Padres-like road to ruin.

The starting staff i very good and very young, and they still have Miggy. They'll have a lot of money coming off the books after this season, and should be big players in the free agent market because of it.
