Welcome Back to another addition of This Week in Detroit Tigers Baseball! In Episode 14 we continue talks about the off-season. J. 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. We discuss the starting rotation in 2010, the bullpen, and of course offensive woes. Management will look from within to add offensive presence. 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. Central Off-Season segment with Royals talk. Is Jason Kendall the right catcher? After a tough 2009 season, are Royals fans happy with Trey Hillman as the manager of the club? We also discuss the latest rumors and move the Royals have made in the off-season. That’s the show in the nutshell.

Quick, take a deep breath. Okay, breath out. This Week in Detroit Tigers Baseball is back with episode thirteen! After a two month hiatus, it feels good to be back. The off-season is here and we have one heck of a primer for you. There are so many topics to discuss and I believe this episode did a decent job in bringing in all aspects of the upcoming December off-season. Ben Nicholson-Smith of MLB Trade Rumors joined us to break down the latest trade rumors swirling, tonight’s arbitration decisions, and possible free agents the Tigers could be targeting. You are going to want to bookmark MLB Trade Rumors, because they are the go-to website the next few months for trade, free agent and rule v rumors. Nicholson-Smith shares his thoughts on whether the Tigers should offer arbitration to Placido Polanco, Fernando Rodney and Brandon Lyon. Also we discuss the shortstop position and the free agents the Tigers should be targeting. And finally we discuss the trade rumors involving Edwin Jackson, Curtis Granderson and Miguel Cabrera. 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. Wezner shares with us the names that the Tigers could loose in the rule V draft as well as the names protected by the Tigers though placing them on the 40 man roster. Tigs Town brings the best minor league coverage and analysis to the internet. I suggest you to subscribe today to get the latest information in the Tigers organization.

The Detroit Tigers are leading the division and This Week in Detroit Tigers Baseball is here to talk about it! In episode number nine, I was fortunate to be joined by Jim Weber of WCWA 1230 AM in Toledo. Jim has been the voice of the Toledo Mud Hens for 35 years now, so he knows what he is talking about! Jim told us about some of his experiences in the booth, the rehab of Nate Robertson, the 2009 Mud Hen season, and some insight on current Mud Hens on the roster. Thanks to Jim for taking time to talk to me just hours before a game earlier this week. On the Panel this week are two guys who really know Tigers Baseball. Greg Eno of The Knee Jerks returns to the show, and Ian Casselberrry of Bless You Boys stops by to discuss the latest tigers news this week. Some of the main focus was on the pennant race, September baseball and this strange, strange 2009 team. This week was special because Eno, also known as the “voice of reason” changed a stance of his for the 2009 Tigers team. Also joining us to talk about Scott Green and Andy Dirks, two prospects that might have a future in the Old D, is Paul Wezner of Tigs Town. Tigs Town without a doubt is The best source for Tigers minor league coverage and analysis. Scott Green will undergo surgery, but is still a future late inning reliever. Andy Dirks has shown some power in the outfield, and provides some spark offensively. And finally in our This Week in Detroit Tigers History, we look back to September 4th, 1984 when Jack Morris finally ended his silence with the media. Morris did it as a favor to manager Sparky Anderson, and after his so called silence from the media, Morris responded. After September, Morris went on to pitch three crucial games in the World Series. The rest we all know is the continuance of a hall of fame career. Hopefully the writers eventually realize that too. It’s all here! Remember you can find us on Twitter and email the program. We would love to hear your lovely voices too! All you have to do is call the voicemail line at 231-683-1367!

Welcome back for another addition of this Week in Detroit Tigers Baseball. In this episode, J. Ellet Lambie of Eye of the Tigers and John Brunn of Tiger Geist stop by to talk about this week’s action. In our roundtable, John, J. and I discuss many different things including Jim Leyland’s comments on the fan’s view of performance enhancing drugs, the offensive production at the top of the order, John Smoltz, Al Avila’s debut, waiver wire talk, and much much more, including J. Ellet Lambie’s dream to stuff Ryan Raburn in a bag (Okay, maybe not! Still, his points on the outfield situation are dead on!) In This Week in Detroit Tigers History, we look back to August 12th 1987, when the Tigers traded Doyle Alexander for John Smolz. A trade that will always resonate in the heads of Detroit sports fans. John Smoltz was dealt to the Braves after Atlanta declined interest in taking any of the four original prospects offered. It came between starters John Smoltz and Steve Searchy. The Tigers decided to keep Searchy because he was more major league ready. Looks like that decision will haunt the Tigers for quite some time, considering Smoltz’s lengthy and successful career In our Prospect on the Prowl segment, a little known shortstop named Brent Dlugach has made a name for himself at the AAA Level. After years of injury problems, the 26 year old might have found himself in just the right place, with Adam Everett and Ramon Santiago entering free agency in the off-season.

This Week in Detroit Tigers Baseball is back! After a week hiatus, it feels good to be back in front of the microphone, talking about the team we love! Joining us in episode five was J. Ellet Lambie of Eye of the Tigers and Greg Eno of The Knee Jerks and Greg Eno.com. Thanks again to both guests, who as always, brought great insight on what is happening in the world of Detroit Tigers Baseball. Topics this Week include: Struggling Offenses, The New York Yankee and Seattle Mariner Series, Joel Zumaya, Brandon Inge, Trade Options, and much much more. Just a note; we are not all idiots. Matt Holliday had not yet been traded when we talked about his availability. Our Prospect on the Prowl this week is Casey Crosby of the West Michigan White Caps. The Tigers liked him so much that he was not available, much to the Athletic’s dismay, in the Matt Holliday trade talks.
