Tigers are going to hire Ron Gardenhire as their manager. *shrug* Nice enough guy, so good for him for collecting a check to watch this team lose over 100 games next year.
I could do that. I'd also sign for less.
I wonder if we'll see the rise of specialist managers whose job is to tank -- 105-110 loss seasons and showing off talent for trading it away. When the team turns the corner he moves on to the next one.

Only a 3 year deal, so very meh.

Trammell and Morris make the cut to the veterans committee, Whitaker snubbed again.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 10: The Tommy Bridges edition
Fat Rondon was non-tendered. He's likely done as a Tiger.
Also, the Tigers signed Mike Fiers today to a 1 year, $6 mil contract. Fine. I only ask one thing from him: on a regular basis, please give us 5-6 innings with 4-5 runs allowed. Don't get bombed out of the game in the 3rd or 4th inning on the regular. I don't expect you to win 15 games. Anything over 7-8 would be gravy. Just eat innings and don't burn the bullpen out on a nightly basis.

In. Finally.

The Veteran's Committee has elected BOTH Alan Trammell and Jack Morris to the Hall of Fame.
Wayyyyyyy overdue. The fact that both of those guys had to wait this long is unfortunate. If they played in New York or L.A. they might have been first ballot guys. Congrats to both...Game 7 of the 1991 World Series is one of the Top 2-3 favorite sports memories in my life.

They both belong in the Outer Circle, but that fight was lost ages ago.
The question is how many Hall of Famers are active at any given time? An average of .5 per team? 2.5? There is far more money and good will to raise that number over time, so we will get "grade inflation" in the HOF.
