Huff Dealt to Tigers

Wow' date='this would be something,wonder who it would clear the path for to play 1st?[/quote']

One has to figure Wigginton and Aubrey (the non-Huff) get the majority of time. And that appeases Mora who gets more starts at 3B in a contract year.

[El Gordo]

I wonder what we will get in return?

Does it matter what good news. Bring up Snyder or what's his name the PTBNL from Tampa.

Not trying to be a dbag here SG, i'm honestly curious.

Let's say we do this deal and we save 2 or 3 Million or w/e. What will that do for us moving forward that we couldn't do simply by letting Huff walk in October?

While nothing might happen with that money directly, it gives us the flexibility of that roster spot.

[Fan4Life]

Great move!

And I don't even care what we get back. If they are taking on his salary, that helps us a lot. Just throw the saved money at Givens!

That's a interesting idea... what a news day that would make....

We are not going to get much back for him. He is a rental for the post season pretty much.

Michael Aubrey will not be brought up. He is barely hitting enough in Norfolk to not get himself demoted to Bowie.

Well, maybe that money saved helps us get Sano..Or maybe it helped us get Coffey and Ohlman because they knew a deal was close...or maybe PA puts it in his pocket...After all, he deserves to make money.

Whatever the reason is, getting rid of Huff is only a positive.

if he goes on to have an amazing last 6 weeks and is able to get picks for the Tigers, more power to Detroit.

I haven't even seen him in Norfolk's lineup yet.... lol

[TonySoprano]

I hope this deal is made, but the fact that it was leaked makes me a little skeptical that someone jumped the gun on this.

I would LOVE to see them take a look at Snyder.

Or Givens.

We'll either get salary relief, which is valuable for all of the reasons you mentioned above and more, or we'll get some type of prospect, which could either be useful organizational depth or maybe even a bullpen arm.

Whatever, it's something for a guy who really isn't adding anything. I'll be a wee-bit sad though. I started to like Huff the person over the last year.

Dont blame the messenger!!! I did post that they "near" deal... LOL

[PrivateO]

Just out of curiosity, was Huff going to be a Type A or B free agent this winter? Or was he even lower with this awful season?

I agree, color me skeptical until it happens.
