Outfield power

Dombrowski wastes NO time.  Less than a month after the Tigers lost in the World Series in a quick four game series, The Master Brow is already repacking the roster.  Obviously, there are some vacancies left by Delmon, Papa Potato, and Sanchez.

Looking back at the postseason, the biggest hole in the lineup was right field.  Andy Dirks should be a shoe in for a starting position next year (if he isn't, we need to reassess how we assess...haha).  TigerBerry is just not an everyday player.  BBoesch's bat was colder this year than a fudgesicle stuck to the back of the freezer.  Garcia is just too young.  I give it three more years before he is ready to be an everyday player.

The Master Brow signed Torii Hunter today to play outfield and provide a more reliable bat.  If you remember back to when CMo was in the booth, he was singing the praises of Hunter all night.  Well, dust off your pipes CMo, because you have plenty of opportunity to sing all season!  Although Hunter is old (he's 37, young for say, a president, but old for any athlete outside of hockey), he has been a consistent player over the years.

Welcome to D-Town Torii.  For now, you are a welcome addition.
