I have to agree. Going forward a few years its' safe to assume that Porcello will be part of the rotation along with the three you mentioned. I think if Robertson can be had for four more years then I think that is a reasonable investment. Anything beyond that is quite risky and of course the money would have to be right as well. They could also wait until after the June draft this year and see how they fel about their draft. Should they get some good college aged pitchers, they could always be ready in two years as well for a fraction of the cost. I’ll jump on board here. I have to agree.

Me thinks a 3 year deal in the 12-16 million dollar range would be excellent. I am sure he owuld like a little more, but he is also getting to play for a great team, this could help keep him a little cheaper. For a 5th starter, he should be fine. I like Nasty Nate.

That surely contributes to his popularity among fans. But yeah, I think we generally agree. If Nate is paid like a 4th or 5th starter - which is what he is - then he and the Tigers could come to an agreement. If he thinks he should cash in, that'll probably have to happen in another city.
