Tigers LF Options
This got me to thinking (dangerous, I know...):

Now that the Tigers are looking for an every day LF option with some leather along with a bit of pop in his bat, I'm wondering if Grady could possibly be one of those options. Caveats applied, he is a speedster/gold glove calibur CF with 2 knee surgeries under his belt. HOWEVA, the little he did play this year he tore it up at the plate with 10 HRs while posting a .378 BA to end the month of April right before he had the freak sliding injury at 2nd base. Could the Tigers conceivably get him at a bargain with an incentive-laiden deal while shoring up some D in LF next to Jackson and then use the spare cash to go after a certain big-name SS that rhymes with Rosay Jayus and move Peralta over to 3rd? Not to mention, Grady has always been a Tiger killer and hit well in the open gaps at Comerica...
Just a random baseball thought on a cold October/November night about 6 months before a pitch is even thrown again...

The only reason to sign Sizemore is if the TIger's Team Doctor is bored from not having Carlos Guillen around and wants another player who can't go one month without spraining something.
It is a good thing the Tigers are pretty set at most positions because the FA market stinks this year.

Boesch And Delmon Young will hit the corners. Jackson in CF. This topic came out of Left Field. We need Pitching and Pitching, 3rd Base and did i mention Pitching?
