Aaron is the best of those three pitchers, hands down, followed by Sowers. Cliff Lee was totally smoke-and-mirrors. Pittsburgh ain't no dummy...they don't want our trash. It was a horrible evaluation of talent and contract extension for that dude! KEEP YOUR FREAKIN' JASON BAY. We've got enough strikeouts in the lineup with Sizemore, Hafner and his lodge brothers. Hope you all enjoyed this year's postseason, because the Tigers showed you how to make BOLD, LINEUP-ENHANCING MOVES this week. They are again the division winners. Their lineup was tough ENOUGH to face last year! Now they've beefed it up MORE? I'm with Alan...trade CC now and get some great value in return. Enough with the losing-players-for-zilch-in-return. ONCE AGAIN, SHAPIRO, DO NOT...NOT...NOT trade Laffey. He will be the surprise starter of your rotation, you know...the rotation with two or three guys too many, so you have to send them to Buffalo instead of making a trade to improve this lifeless offense.
