. . . and to think I was extremely disappointed . . .
.
. . . that my beloved Tigers chose to trade Doug Fister. I know that he was no superstar, but I think, with the Tigers, you could count on him to win 12-18 games a season, and be competitive in most of them. A control pitcher that threw strikes. I understand needing a decent outfielder but I have always been in the camp that decent pitching is more difficult to find/develop than position players. Put together a staff of 5 such solid pitching starters, and you have a pretty decent staff. Might even able put such a staff together for $155 million. Maybe the Yankees missed out on a bargain. Or, maybe they are looking for the next great star. The Yanks are certainly rolling the dice.
