			<description><![CDATA[Just wondering. . .

If the Mets decline the option on his contract for 2010, as they're going to do, how do you all feel about the possibility of bringing J.J. Putz in - as a low-cost risk, of course - to close in 2010?Yes, he was hurt this year, and yes he needs to bounce back, but when he's]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Just got off the phone with trainer Kevin Rand and he reiterated that Brandon Inge will be off his feet for the next six weeks because of his surgery on both knees.Post-op plans dictate that Inge will be non-weight bearing for that length of time.I can't think of another athlete - for that matter,]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yes, that was my prediction in March -- Tigers to win 88 games and the Central by a game. But who cares about that now?

I have another prediction, and this time it doesn't involve the Tigers: The Yankess will win the World Series in six games.

I just hope the umpires and November weather]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There's some speculation Dodgers outfielder Juan Pierre is the player the Tigers are targeting to acquire this winter.Good player, Juan Pierre. Leadoff speed.No chance, though.Not with $18.5 million remaining on his contract through 2011.Unless, of course, the Dodgers would take in return a]]></description>

A) incredibly smart

			<description><![CDATA[Hate to say it, but I don't see how the Tigers are going to have ANY money to spend this winter. Sorry.The payroll numbers I come up with so far is that they'll be at $119 million for 20 players (including Dontrelle Willis).That's figuring at least $7 mil for Justin Verlander, which might be low,]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What's the feeling out there on this?

Miguel Cabrera's salary jumps from $15 million this year to $20 million next year and doesn't duck back down under $20 million for the next SIX YEARS. The Tigers owe him $126 million for the next six.

			<description><![CDATA[For what's it worth ...

Disliked the Twins getting swept - because the Tigers would not have been. Game 4 would be going on right now at Comerica Park, as I type. They would have eventually lost to the Yankees, but they would not have gotten swept.
