Fuck, Herm beat me down.
Heyman says Dontrelle is our #3 starter.
That's just to break up the handedness. Porcello's the 3rd best guy.
I wonder how much we had to pay of his contract? I imagine at least half. Still, if we saved 4-5 million, that's great...
More than half I'd guess, it's the Marlins and we got a crap prospect for a guy we were evidently going to cut.

@jonmorosi: Source told me that the #Tigers will be paying almost all of Robertson's salary with the #Marlins. He earns $10M this year. #MLB
^ It was great news and now only 'good to great' news.

@Ken_Rosenthal: #Tigers paying $9.6M of remaining $10M on Robertson's deal. In other words, #Marlins get him for minimum. #MLB.
Went back and forth this afternoon with a guy on twitter that was comparing this trade to AI for Billups.
LOL
Oh no, you fed the troll!Quote:

I get the impression that he was an unhappy camper. There were reports that he didn't like being used out of the bully in the past.
1. He sucks really bad.
2. Roster spot.

Good to see Willis take the news of making the rotation well by promptly getting shellacked by Baltimore. Greeeeat.
I have a feeling this Voss character is the next:howdidwegetminer:
