In the truth is "stranger than fiction" category, the Tigers made no effort to sign their halfway-decent closer, Fernando Rodney as they thought he was too expensive. Rodney later signed with the Angels for $11 million for two years. Yesterday the Tigers signed Jose Valverde to be their closer at $14 million for two years.
Weeks back, the Tigers unloaded Curtis Granderson to the Yankees as they said he was too expensive at $5.5 million for 2010. Reports now have the Tigers interested in Johnny Damon who's demand to the Yankees was $20 million for 2 years.
No, this is true.
Look it up! It's in the papers.
They just can't make stuff up you know.

It would have been fun to have an outfield of; Damon, Granderson, and Singl-io. Just to see them throw 8-hoppers to the plate.
It would certainly keep the third base coach of the other team busy and he might even sustain a rotator cuff injury waiving everybody in.
Seriously, some of Damon's ground ball throws to the infield are flat out hilarious.
I always thought that Manny made that hilarious diving cutoff because he didn't think that Damon could hit the infield.

Adam,
At least it would have shown some degree of logic on Manny's part.
I think Jim Rome once did about a 20 minute bit on that particular play.
