I was going to say This reeks of Iilitch. Dombrowski said what he felt to be true and Mr. I called Boras and said Don’t listen to DD I want Fielder, What do you want? Then he went to DD and said Pay the man. Iilitch has a history of signing Scott Boras Clients, for big money

Boras called Fielder an athlete and said he has a square body type. So if both sides are lying, is it OK?

Too bad they can’t all DH at the same time.

Glad to see this disaster in waiting will be collecting his checks somewhere other than LA.

Cabrera at 3B, VMart at Catcher, Prince at 1B and maybe they can bring in Damon to play CF and let Austin Jackson DH. That group will be added to Peralta at SS, Raburn at 2B, Delmon Young in LF and Boesh in RF. Then they need to sign every strikeout pitcher in baseball, because ball hit against them into fair territory will fall for a hit.

On the other hand, next season, they could have the three best DH’s in baseball.

Sweet Jesus Montero…Ok, 2 points of rebuttal to ‘hgf’:

1) PC spells it “Canadian”. That’s how it’s supposed to be spelled, you cretin.

2) Dombrowski said: “I would just say the fit is really not there at this point” among much else to indicate a lack of intent to sign Fielder. That’s as close to lying as makes no difference.

Willful misunderstanding is not a basis for a platform of argument.

I cant help but think that in 3 years the tigers will have the two best DH’s in all of baseball on their team. I just… of all teams, the tigers? Really?

DDs are almost always full of deceit.

As a huge Tiger fan, I believe DD spoke the truth 4 days ago. Mike Illich likely told him to pay Fielder.

Are they going to jack the prices for Little Ceasar’s pizzas? Geez, at 5 bucks I think they’re overpriced, but heck, good for him and those Detroit fans, he’s going for it this year. Hope Tiger fans show up, should be a great year.

He clearly said “WE WILL NOT SIGN HIM.” LOL

He really isn’t a good fit beyond this season… LOL

Jesus, proudystupidcanadien (yeah, that’s how you spell canadien – eh!), what did Dombrowski lie about?

Eh, when you’re playing a game with Scott Boras, you sometimes do things you don’t like to. If my memory serves right, DD isn’t typically full of deceit.

I prefer a GM who refuses to talk about possible trades and signings to a GM who is a liar.

Are you suggesting we won’t get to see Prince shagging balls in CF?

I guess he played us all for fools, eh?
