Re: 2007/2008 Tigers Offseason Moves

I have mixed emotions about the Tigers bringing in Renteria. On the one hand, they needed a defensive shortstop, so that hey can move Guillen to 1st base.

OTOH, I'm not sure Renertia is their guy. I mean how many former Florida Marlins from their World Series Team in 1997 should the Tigers bring in? They already over-paid for Sheff, which turned into a disaster, and now they bring in Renteria, who is 32 years old? I don't even know how he fields by now.

What is Jimmy Leyland running here?...an old folks home for former Florida Marlin World Series Champs?

Heck, for the money the Tigers are paying Sheffield ($14 million per) and Renteria ($9 million per), they could almost have afforded A-Rod, who would have been a much better fielder than Renteria and a much better hitter than Sheff.

Jimmy Leyland needs to stop making personnel decisions.
