Detroit fans: How do you feel about the trade of Pudge Rodriguez?

Question

How do you feel about the Front Office of the Tigers?

Answer 1

well this could help for both teams yankees need a good vetran catcher and tigers need a bullpen

Answer 2

Im a huge Detroit Tigers fan and live in Metro Detroit and say we made a good deal. Why you might ask. Well lets see. The Yankees need a catcher for the injured Posada, and the Tigers need alot of help in their bullpen. Kyle Farnsworth. Inge ( my favorite baseball player ) in my opinion is not a better catcher, but he is a better hitter. Besides behind the scenes after the game where Inge hit his 8th homerun taking pudge's position for Ivan's day off I think Pudge got a little angry and asked Dombrowski if he could have the starting job every night. So, Dombrowski told Leyland and Leyland said to Pudge either stay or leave because your not going to start every night. So Pudge reqeusted a trade therefore why I think he is a catcher for the New York Yankees now. Not the Tigers. The Yankees may have got the better and of the deal but both teams got what they wanted and I think it was a good trade for the Tigers. Go Tigers. Thats what I think about the trade.

Answer 3

Ivan Rodriguez stinks this season

Answer 4

sorry but everyone on here is a complete idiot, first pudge is hitting 295 with 5 jacks and 30 sum rbi's, which for a catcher is what i like to call legit, basically in the top 5 in offense for catchers, and no one touches his fielding prowess, also you have to realize that he was the heart and soul of that tigers team, when he came over in 03 he put a charge into this team and was the spark that they needed, and what bothers me the most is what we got in return, Kyle farnsworth??? r u kidding me, his best attribute is grooving pitches so the batters can cave in the sweet spot on their sticks, if d-town wouldnt have taken him he would have been designated for assignment just like letroy hawkins, but hey its ok now rodney zumaya,farnsworth and jones can have a pissing contest to see who gets a chance to blow the game for us. honestly the yankees need pen help to and yet they are willing to ship a guy out of their pen?? shouldnt that tell you something, the tigers had him a few years ago and we got rid of his ***, what is going on??? a true hall of famer traded for a guy that probably wont make the 40 man roster next year great job tiger managment, the yanks are filled with blue chip prospects and we get farnsworh, ya for the pen, at least now they can spread the bullpen era around, get real farnsworth is garbage and pudge is still a legit catcher at the big league level. way to go tigers, oh and inge looks like a tool bag behind the dish.... RiP Pudge

Answer 5

I'm unhappy with it. I think they gave up too much for too little. Mr. Farnsworth doesn't want to be a Tiger. When I watched ESPN he didn't look very happy when he talked to the media. I understand he was nearly in tears when he walked out of the Yankee mgr. office and he broke down and cried. I don't want someone like that on the Tigers. I want players who want to be Tigers on the team. I wish the front office would get serious about buiding a winning team instead of selling tickets. I feel bad for those who expected a contending team ad bought season tickets.

Answer 6

he mite not of been having a great yr. but i still think we didnt get enough back for him

Answer 7

They dig Inge and I think they feel Pudges best years are behind him.  The Tiger bullpen needs some help too.  They shouldn't, but they do.  

Answer 8

they'll end up trading for him next year.  

Answer 9

you guys should be ok with it, i mean he is really getting old. c'mon you got farnsworth
