Whoot! Gotta love when your GM goes right out and snags an important need on the first day of trading. The Tigers traded young pitcher Jair Jurrjens who had a couple decent games last season down the stretch, and minor leaguer Gorkys Hernandez. Fans had already gotten their personalized pens for Gorkys like he is supposed to be the next Willie Mays apparently. The silly prospect lovers keep reveling in the Randy Smith Era and do not realize the Tigers are actually good. This is what you do when you are ready to win now. You trade unknowns for knowns and make the current team better. Just like last year when Dombrowski raped the Yankees for an oft-injured ferner to get a Hall of Famer in Sheffield.
THE KID IS 3 YEARS AWAY!
Get it through your heads. This trade is AWESOME. Renteria was the BEST thing we could have gotten in the off season not named Alex Rodriguez. We have prospects still. We didn't destroy our farm system again. We got a proven player for 2 guys half of you probably never even heard of until today.
When was Gorkys going to play? He's behind Granderson, Maggs, and Maybin. 3 guys that are either really the next Willie Mays, or practically MVP candidates.
This trade is phenomenal.
Go Tigers!
Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions, Detroit Pistons, Rasheed Wallace, Barry Bonds, and the world of sports.
