ADVERTS 1
37 yrs. old? No thanks. It's just a matter of time till the defense starts slipping, and we don't need another long term contract for an aging catcher. Maybe a 2 yr. deal with clauses. I think Dombrowski will be looking for a journeyman type with good defensive skills. We have enough bats to hide weak bats at C, and 3rd base (Inge).

I can see Lowe in a Detroit uniform next season, to replace Rogers.

No, that wasn't it. They needed relief help. At the time, I think we were about 5-6 games out of first. Pudge was going to be a free agent , and didn't figure into the next season's plans, and his skill set was slipping. (He just wasn't getting in front of balls in the dirt as well as he used to). Inge will be back at third base, where his defense was sorely missed. Inge is not that good of a catcher, and everyone knows his heart wasn't in it, but he is a phenominal glove at third.
I think Dusty Ryan will get the nod at C, if the Tigers are unable to find a replacement, which in that case he'll be on the roster as the back-up. He has a lot of potential, and a bat with a lot of pop. Needs to improve defensively, but that will come with playing time.

Not sure if it's in the news yet, but Catcher Kelly Shoppach may be available for the right price. With Victor Martinez out for a good chunk of time in '07, Shoppach certainly showed that he can play catcher full time and with good success. We also have a few young catchers coming up through the minors, so the Indians may want to trade this sirplus for additional relief pitching or another power bat.

Who will play 1B for the Angels? I hear the Marlins are shopping big, switch-hitting Mike Jacobs.

Percentage wise, what are the odds that C.C. Sabathia stays in Milwaukee for the next few years?

There's more to playoff success than just winning. Sometimes, you have to go into enemy territory outside your stadium and walk the walk.
