Outside...Rey Lewis retired to become a cheerleader. Outside of his dance at the beginning of the game, all he did was commit a facemask penalty. Ed Reed got more air time and he was out injured. That is my contribution. Oh, an Corey Hart has a portly wife. Just trying to get some baseball in the mix here.Roger Murdockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706821808376417218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937225388277571195.post-6313815776173297952009-12-08T20:20:27.409-08:002009-12-08T20:20:27.409-08:00As the resident Tigers fan, I have very mixed feel...As the resident Tigers fan, I have very mixed feelings about this trade. Granderson is my favorite Tiger since Sweet Lou Whitaker graced the field. He might be the most popular active athlete in Detroit short of Nikolas Lidstrom. I believed Granderson was to be the long-term face of the franchise. I guess not. He'll be sorely missed. But the truth about Baby Grand is that he can't hit lefties worth a damn, and will be a platoon player until that changes. His defense is top notch though, as is his speed. If he regains his 0.300 20-20-20-20 form though, it will really hurt to see him in pinstripes. Too bad the Brewers didn't go after him instead of Go-Go Gomez. Milwaukee would love Baby Grand and his killer smile and phenomenal glove. And his much better bat.<br /><br />Considering that Detroit got the long end of the stick on the potential end of things, I'm pretty pleased though. Detroit now has 3 young, hard throwing righties for starters (Verlander, Porcello, and now Scherzer), with fireballer '09 draft pick Jacob Turner in the wings, and I love that. Austin Jackson was supposed to be the Yanks top outfield prospect, so that may pan out as well. <br /><br />With Dombrowski still looking to cut payroll, I'm betting that drinky Miggy Cabrera could potentially be shopped too (Red Sox?). There's my contribution to the rumor mill.Gopher Bandanna Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12084695280443154529noreply@blogger.com
