Seems like he needed the change of scenary. Richard Hamilton may, too. Verlander and the Tigers will likely split the difference on a one-year contract.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-49518266245800226612009-01-23T15:33:00.000-05:002009-01-23T15:33:00.000-05:00Maddog52,I agree with you about Robinson.

Cunningham's talent will be limited, but it's going to be up to this new coaching staff to get more out of Redding and Sims and White.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-28047366903161999782009-01-21T19:58:00.000-05:002009-01-21T19:58:00.000-05:00Re: Pistons.

I think this is a team in decline with a befuddled coach who has not really delivered on the effort, accountability, superior conditioning that was supposed to mark his regime. I'm sure Joe knew the Iverson deal was likely to be a short-term dud, but I would love toDetroit Sports Dorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06507758358144530420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-43027246380658994652009-01-21T12:28:00.000-05:002009-01-21T12:28:00.000-05:00I heard on my way to work this morning that Verlan...I heard on my way to work this morning that Verlander was asking for 4 point something and the Tigers were only offering three - it sounded like they were already on their way to arbitration - although I would have to guess they can still resolve it before that.<BR/><BR/>Verlander is NOT a player I want to see go someplace else.

Personally I thought he wasted a perfect opportunity to show that he is for real. Prove that the players don't run the asylum. But at the expense of some needed victories he waited to long. I think he has made some very suspect decisisons. For a team maddog52https://www.blogger.com/profile/11049733361898347116noreply@blogger.com
