Ellet Lambie of Eye of the Tigers and Greg Eno of the Greg Eno Empire joins us to discuss that one trade that took place last week. The guys also discuss the latest Detroit Tigers news.

Only time will tell if it works out, especially after losing the number one and two hitters in the lineup. The guys share their opinions on the offensive woes. Plus, do the Tigers have a vision? I ask the round table to get their opinions on where the Tigers are going and if they have a specific vision. Also joining us on the show is Wally Fish of Kings of Kauffman. Wally kicks off the A.L.

In the discussion panel, Al Beaton of the Wayne Fontes Experience and Greg Eno of the Eno Empire on the web join us to bring you a fan-like perspective of the off-season thus far. The guys make their predictions on arbitration for tonight as well as break down some of the positions that need to be addressed in this off-season. Of course we talk about the trade rumors swirling, and all three of us agree that trading Cabrera better return 3-4 full time players ready to man a position in Detroit right away. We also break down Curtis Granderson’s value and whether trading Jackson for a younger talent is really worth it. Finally we wrap up the show with Paul Wezner of Tigs Town. Wezner brings us the latest in Rule V draft news, the 40 man roster, winter leagues and much much more.
