Thames does have value to the Tigers when spotted properly into the lineup. He gets exposed if played too much, but they can platoon with Jones. It is ideal.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-64763725069212602032008-03-24T13:05:00.001-04:002008-03-24T13:05:00.001-04:00Marty,Obviously since you posted Inge's value has ...Marty,<BR/>Obviously since you posted Inge's value has really come to the forefront.

Coletti isn't the sharpest knife in the shed..he had to be berated into playing Loney and Kemp and he signed Pierre..so your thinking is flawed..yes Proctor would help a lot..a real lot..but the LAD are pretty thin there themselves..waiting 60 days isn't a tradgedy Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-50918235387661419522008-03-21T14:41:00.000-04:002008-03-21T14:41:00.000-04:00Hey Pat, Good Friday to you, I would trade Thames ...Hey Pat, Good Friday to you, I would trade Thames over Inge (Inge can catch) unless Inge has a serious attitude problem because the bullpen looks inferior. I would put a package together that include Thames or Inge and a prospect (not a top 5 prospect) to get Heilman or Wuertz. Would you trade for Heilman or Wuertz? I have read that Wuertz would be the easy to get and he is suppose to be falling Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922015140899150083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-10243123211672633102008-03-21T10:57:00.000-04:002008-03-21T10:57:00.000-04:00Pat,I agree with you that the primary reason that ...Pat,<BR/><BR/>I agree with you that the primary reason that the Tigers haven't dealt Inge is that they don't really want to. He has enough value for them, thet they have to get a pretty good deal to ship him off; someone who has a GOOD chance of making the team in an area of need.<BR/><BR/>-MartyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
