Tigers need to sign Stephen Drew.  He's a Scott Boras guy so the Tigers have definitely been contacted about him.  This is where we find out of Ilitch's kid gives a shit about his dad's baseball team or if he just wants to pinch pennies.

Don't think he'd be worth losing a 1st round pick for. Plus I heard he wants a 3 year deal.

CBS writer Al Melchior:

Is the hype on Jose Abreu justified?  In a word, yes.  While we can't know how a player's skills will translate to major league ball, it's hard not to get excited about Abreu's power potential. In each of his last three full seasons in Cuba, Abreu slugged at least .800.  That's right, slugging percentage, not OPS.  By comparison, Yoenis Cespedes' highest slugging percentage in Cuba was .667, Kendrys Morales' was .609 and Yasiel Puig's was .581.
