Would fit Comerica Park.<br />CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-17025421450778448032009-06-16T00:21:14.096-04:002009-06-16T00:21:14.096-04:00Barry,

If you have three well above .500 and the other two at .500 - you'll get where you want. Good plan spending as you explained.<br />CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-28063569526057663162009-06-15T12:38:53.300-04:002009-06-15T12:38:53.300-04:00I am interested in what the Tigers might do.

Robertson maybe, but to me he has been awful in the bullpen. Maybe a start will motivate him.. I still think a bigger concern to me is the Hitting. We are making a lot of bad pitchers look like aces right now.. <br /><br />You said it the other day maddog52https://www.blogger.com/profile/11049733361898347116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-80456646156908565632009-06-15T11:53:44.008-04:002009-06-15T11:53:44.008-04:00I agree Pat, that #5 starter should always go to a...I agree Pat, that #5 starter should always go to a rookie or a hot AAAA pitcher. Never understood Nate’s contract. I can somewhat justify Bonderman and Willis contract because they were throwing well in years prior to their contract. Isn’t wiser to put your money toward a 1,2 and 3 rotation guys and a set-up guy and closer. Having three good starters going into the playoffs is the best plan.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922015140899150083noreply@blogger.com
