No point really...adding a guy like Peralta simply is not the move that's going to push them over the hump to win the division. At least they got money from Cleveland for his salary.
It's sad that they have the MVP on their team and still can't figure out how to win. It's really time to start thinking about the future...even if they go get a guy like Adam Dunn and somehow win the division, they still have no chance to compete in the playoffs. Not to mention they have six rookies starting anyway now with Inge, Ordonez, and Guillen out, and the rest of the guys who are not rookies are young as well with Cabrera and Raburn filling out the last two position spots. Plus a pitching staff whose average age is in the mid 20s makes their team look pretty young.
I'm not one to give up on a team until they're mathematically eliminated; and I'd be ecstatic if they could get it together and win the division somehow, but I just don't see it happening at this point with the current roster they're working with.
Tiger people, any thoughts on the Peralta acquisation?
As far as DFA-ing Ramirez...I always liked Wilkin. Thought he could be a pretty decent player with an impressive blend of power and speed if they ever gave him a legitimate chance. Unfortunately they didn't get him many at bats after a short, but impressive Major League stint last season, and this year he's not hitting well enough to deserve a chance despite 20 homers or so. Wonder where he'll end up.
