Maybe DD will get active, which I think he will, and make a trade of prospects or get lucky and trade Gary or Inge. With DD, it sound like he open to almost anything.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922015140899150083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-39887017540629425442008-11-26T18:06:00.000-05:002008-11-26T18:06:00.000-05:00The HNIC theme was written by a now little-old-lad...The HNIC theme was written by a now little-old-lady in British Columbia named Dolores Claman.<BR/><BR/>It's the most popular ring-tone on Canadian cell phones.<BR/><BR/>The CBC (a Crown corporation paid by taxpayer dollars) felt the song was dated - and underestimated it's status as <I>Canada's second National Anthem</I>.

I do believe the Tigers will be in the race this year. It was a perfect storm of subpar seasons by too many players to repeat itself. Yes, I did, and was moved by it. Those things mean so much in Canada and being in a border state like this all my life, I have come to truly appreciate HINC.

Also, what are they going to do with Larish. He has been playing third in Arizona, but is a first baseman. Cabrera has that locked up forever.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-91996683284768128402008-11-24T17:21:00.000-05:002008-11-24T17:21:00.000-05:00Pat,I must say I got a kick out the sentence "...w...Pat,<BR/><BR/>I must say I got a kick out the sentence "<I>...will he be able to perform under the spotlight with a contender?</I>"<BR/><BR/>That's why I like you Book. You still see the Tigers as a contender.

I could see Inge playing 3B after the Tigers fall out of contention. That is also gives Ryan half a season at AAA and Skelton a season at AA and AAA if they do not lose him.
