Detroit trade of Verlander a disaster

[Hy Feiber]

Daz Cameron is awful in AAA, the three others are stiffs.

Is Bill Bavasi their GM?

One of the top starters in the majors can’t get ya at least a stud in AAA or a 4th outfielder on the big club?

He is still only 22 and was great in the AFL and Good in AA. I wouldn't close the book on him just yet.

I'm with DTrain.. Give the kid a chance.. 22 years old and playing at AAA. Give him a break.

He hasn't been particularly good at all. With his experience he shouldn't be at the bottom of the barrel regardless of his age. The Tigers got fleeced.

He hit .342 with a .903 OPS in the AFL as a 21 yo vs. the top prospects in the game. That particularly good.

Perez was the centerpiece, he was injured last season, he still isn't performing?...He was considered a nice piece, don't see how you can blame the Tigers for trading for him in the first place

[Donn Beach]

guess he still isn't healthy

Not everything is rosy in the Tigers' top 10. The biggest faller was Franklin Perez, previously Detroit's No. 3 prospect and No. 64 overall. Thanks to several injuries that have kept him off the mound for most of the past two seasons, Perez slipped to No. 6 for the Tigers and fell out of the top 100 altogether.

This was clearly a straight salary dump, when you trade an odds-on Hall of Famer with 2+ years left on contract, for “prospects,” not even a 4th outfielder hitting say .260, and a 5th starter, on the big roster.

What really sucks for Tiger fans is that it's not just a salary dump, it's the entire franchise taking a dump. It's going to be a long time before they can put a playoff team on the field again, and they might well end up going through a loooooong drought.

By the way, I hope The Pro doesn't peek in on this forum. He'll go into a hissy fit when he sees threads about other teams. He's over in the Seahawk Forum right now just utterly devastated that someone started a thread about the Cowboys.

He is a strange one. I guess he fits right in.
