I hear Boomer Eskiaskon is still uncommitted. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Completely agree. What's also ridiculous about these huge contracts is that all the money is guaranteed too, unlike the NFL. Plus, MLB is much more stringent with PED testing than they were a decade ago so it's not like these guys can juice up when their numbers inevitably go down due to age.

I lived in Detroit for a while so I pull for the Tigers. Let's hope Cabrera doesn't turn into Pujols now that he got paid! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Definitely not this year.  Consider the implications from the standpoint of player transfers.  Nowadays, guys leave if they perceive they're not getting the playing time they think they're entitled to, let alone if there's a coaching change.  If they fired him this year, we'd essentially be right back to where we were when he took over the team.  I'm greatly appreciative of the hard work he did in repairing this program after what Kelvin Sampson had done to it.  However, given the trajectory that this season seems to be taking, he has to be on some sort of hot seat going into next year.
