Nice work Zach. Congratulations on a comprehensive report!

Good luck Joel. You were a great closer for the Buccos.

I’m rooting for the Tigers to sign Drew in June, after the draft, when there’s no loss of pick. Maybe to a nice two-thirds of a year contract at a heavily discounted rate. Drew gets a chance to show he can play, and he can spin the roulette wheel again after the season. And the rest of us don’t have to read about it anymore. I’d call it a win win win. Not sure Jon Heyman would be satisfied, since he’s back to beating the drum again for Drew and Morales, but it seems the rest of the baseball world could sleep peacefully.

It’s not really a win for Drew then if he’s taking a discount. Though he’ll be hard pressed to find a win at this point.

It’s quite possible he could get a major deal, but the Tigers would then have to ship Iglesias out. They already have Kinsler. But Drew has to get back on the field. I can’t see him getting a large, multi-year contract in the winter if he’s sat out a year to prove a point for Boras

I can’t either. I think he’ll sign with the highest bidder though for this year.

This is why turned it around so fast…he is in the land of five day weeks!

Anyone not surprised that Mets ownership can’t spend 1-4m to upgrade their dubious pen! Forgetaboutit!

Lannan, Valderde, Germen, and Familia are the keys to an elite bullpen!

No surprise here. Why would you think they’d take a chance on him when they wouldn’t go after LaTroy Hawkins who pitched great for them last year and was cheaper?
Mr Pike
It sounds like they tried to sign him, but didn’t realistically have a chance. In an earlier article in mlbtraderumors his agent said he wanted to go to a contender, and targeted the Tigers early on.
Once the Mets start winning they won’t have any trouble competing for players they want.
Joe Valenti
I really hope he has a lot of success, if for nothing else than for the sake of advancement in Tommy John surgery. It wasn’t long ago that Tommy John was a hail mary procedure. Now, not only are players coming back, but they are coming back in less than a year’s time!
