Tigers sign Robertson for three years

Wow, $7 million per for throwing way too many pitches, getting in too many jams and having a career record of 42-55 and an ERA of 4.60.

Where did I sign up?

Well, you have to remember that Robertson is a lefty, and lefties are historically over-paid. The other consideration is that Robertson had a much better year two years ago. Who knows?

I think this officially makes Chad Durbin trade bait.

Isn't Durbin gone already? I thought he's a free agent anyway.

He signed a one year deal with the Phillies.

So, you're saying there is still a chance that he'll be playing for us next year?

No way Roboman will be able to claim lack of run support this year if he has another losing season.

Nate Robertson will have aroung 17-18 wins this season. This will be several more wins than Jeremy Bonderman.

Marcus Thames signed a 2008 contract today, leaving the Tigers with two unsigned arbitration-eligible players. Thames will get $1.275 million, a big raise over the $432,500 he made in 2007.

For a guy who hit over .300 with runners in scoring position, we got a good deal.

I smell a bet here, Nemo.
