And let’s face it, Timo [Perez] was useless (thank god the Perez temptation is gone for Leyland!) and Shelton was not going to be a Tiger in any case.

Uh yeah. Spoke to soon.

Perez is expected to compete for a spot on the 40 man roster, the article by Jon Paul Morosi states. (He states this with every strange addition by the Tigers). That puts him in direct competition with Ryan Raburn, who is better, and for that fellow the Tigers traded Chris Shelton for, who has no options left. And this Perez addiction addd $500k+ to the payroll.

What was the point?

Seriously.

I think the point is: what if they trade an outfielder, such as Thames? Then Timo has a chance to make it over the guy we got for Shelton. If he goes to Toeldo, we don’t pay him the full 500K.

They’re probably thinking that Raburn will play infield as much as outfield–backing up Cabrera at 3rd and also playing 3rd when Guillen needs a day off (with Cabrera moving to 1st). So then Perez becomes the likely the 4th outfielder, assuming they move Thames. That Guzman guy could still use some minor league work, I think?

Time is running out for needing some minor league work. The guy is 26 and average in the minors.
