At the end of the 2011 season the GM of the Detroit Tigers Dave Dombrowski said he was doubtful of adding another $20 million player during the off season. He also said that it was unlikely he would move Jhonny Peralta to third next season. There are reports that he might have changed his mind.
It is being reported that Jose Reyes, a third basemen who previously played for the New York Mets is seeking a long term contract worth $100,000 million plus. It is also being reported that the Tigers could possibly be one of these teams that could make a run for him.
Along with a starting pitcher and one reliever, I feel the Detroit Tigers main option should be Jose Reyes. He is the only player on the free agent market that fits our needs. We need a leadoff man because Austin Jackson’s average of 1 strikeout a game isn’t cutting it as a leadoff hitter. We need to add more speed to our lineup to make up for our tremendously slow outfield. We would put Jose Reyes at shortstop and move Jhonny Peralta at third. This could be one of the best hitting infields in the league. Along with Peralta at third and Reyes at short, there would be a platoon of Ryan Raburn and Ramon Santiago at third, and of course all-star Miguel Cabrera at first. This is a perfect fit for the Tigers and put them over the edge as the American League Central favorites.
To bad he went to crappy south beach. smh
