Just of how much the owner has and wants to pay?

I understand that he is the best in the game.... however you could post the arguement that getting Cabrera and Willis helps a team more. If you could make a deal for Santana or for a big bat and a good pitcher what would you do?

Tigers pitching faltered badly in the second half of the 2007 season and it cost them a playoff spot. Will the addition of Cabrera give them the extra wins they will need in 2008 or do they now have to focus on some pitching help?

They've picked up Lasting Milledge, Elijah Dukes, Tyler Clippard, and have expressed interest in Andruw Jones. Yes, they need pitching.....any thoughts?

Is it because we have 26 RINGS and the classiest fans in the sport? Or because we have the best future in baseball??

LETS GO YANKEES!

Why should great franchises be penalized because other teams are not willing
to spend the money on scouts and player development. I say if you are not willing to develop the talent and spend the money necessary to hold on to it you deserve to lose. Teams Like the Yankees have caught a bad rap for being willing to spend the money to keep the talent they have and to upgrade problem positions when necessary . I see no problem with it anyone that does is a hater. Don't blame the Yankees ,Celtics,49ers and Maple Leaves of the world blame your cheapscate owners.

I think the Yankees will pull their head out and roll. I dont want us to give him up to the Sox and their already deadly pitching staff. Whoever picks the team as well as players wins the 10 points.

My pick is the ownership of the Pirates. It's a disgrace what they have done to this once proud franchise.

I'm partial to the Indians but I'll settle for the Yankees . I love both Plus Steinbrenner is from Cleveland so I win either way.

Jeter ,Rivera, Pettitte, Posada, Bernie Williams, Mattingly, Thurmon Munson,
Ralph Terry, Guidry,Don Larson, Berra, Joe Gordon, Meusel, Dent ,Rizzuto
Gehrig,Lazzeri ,Dimaggio, Mantle, Lefty Gomez , Koenig ,Earl Combs. All home grown. When You develop talent like that and hold on to it you can afford to fill
your holes from within and upgrade if necessary with Ruth ,
Roger Clemens (I know you redsox fans hated those 2) ,Reggie Jackson ,
Paul Oneil, Tino Martinez , David Cone ,David Wells , Dave Winfeild and Graig Nattles. You don't win 26 championships by carelessly spending money. You
have to develop talent hold onto the good talent and be willing to fill holes. When the opportunity comes to up grade a position if you're not endangering
your future you do it.You also have to be willing to get rid of players on the decline. You have to cut dead weight you also have to utilize what you have and not be so easily ready to give up on players to win now because that never works.

By getting Santana? According to the Daily News it was him who convinced Ownership not to pursue Santana anymore claiming he's not worth the money.

The sad thing is they won a world series behind that crap. The only reason they got there is because of Carmona and Sabathia's in experience and of course a injured Anaheim team who would have no doubt had a better showing at full strength. The Yankees provided they don't do anything stupid will win the division in 08' . Without late season injuries they would have won it last year.Redsox consider yourselves lucky until Manny and Ortiz and The guy that looks like a plumber(Kevin Youkilis) have another lovers spat.

They trade away all their best players. Twins - Santana, Nathan, Hunter. Marlins - Every good pklayer they have ever had. Should baseball eliminate these teams or force them to move to promote competitivness?

Dombrowski is a genius! Look at what he has done since he took over as President/GM.

This 2008 team could make the '84 Tigers look like pussycats!

I've been a Tiger fan ALL my life (yes, even 2003) and I've never been as geeked as I am right now! I really do think this is OUR year!
Even if we have injuries and slumps (all good teams do) I think we can it handle it better than we did last year because we are stacked.
Your thoughts?

Brooks Robinson or Clete Boyer? And how would Scott Rolen compare with them? (Also-did anyone see Doug Rader play? He won 5 straight gold gloves from '70-74, but I never saw him play).

Johan is likely going to go to the Redsox. Unbelievable. This is terrible. Competitive balance. Who is going to beat that 1,2 with Papelbon closing? Nobody! The Redsox are the new hated ones yet this version doesn't shower or shave. Boo! I'll stick to the NFL. The NBA is getting worse by the year. I used to only love the NBA now it's as far as pro
's NFL #1, then NBA, just cuz the NBA at least has a cap, then MLB could be #2 easy, but steroids, big market teams dominating, overpaid players nearly as bad as the NBA. Guillen got 12 mil a year lol that headcase?! Tori Hunter 19Mil good player but he's 35, ARod rediculous. Go NFL. If anyone deserves crazy cash it's them.
