After their 2009 season ended in heartbreaking fashion—with a 12th-inning
loss to the Twins in a one-game playoff for the American League Central title
—the Tigers switched gears as they headed into 2010. At the Winter Meetings,
general manager Dave Dombrowski sent Curtis Granderson to the Yankees and
Edwin Jackson to the Diamondbacks in a three-way trade that brought back
outfield prospect Austin Jackson and lefthander Phil Coke from New York and
righthander Max Scherzer and lefthander Daniel Schlereth from Arizona.
Granderson was beloved in Detroit, but all four players the Tigers received
in the trade performed well their first year in Motown. Jackson had big shoes
to fill in center field, but hit .293 with 27 steals and played excellent
defense. Scherzer went 12-11, 3.50 and ranked sixth in the AL with 8.5
strikeouts per nine innings. Coke was solid out of the bullpen and Schlereth
showed the potential to be Detroit's closer of the future.
Though the trade accomplished two goals for the Tigers, making them both
younger and cheaper, it couldn't put them over the top in the American League
Central. They went 48-38 and stood just a half-game out of first place in the
first half, but lost their first six games after the all-star break and never
recovered. Detroit finished 81-81 and in third place, 13 games behind the
Twins.
The Tigers now face another offseason of decisions. They quickly re-signed
free agents Brandon Inge and Jhonny Peralta, but could still have plenty of
money to play with after a combined $64 million in salaries for Jeremy
Bonderman, Johnny Damon, Gerald Laird, Magglio Ordonez, Nate Robertson and
Dontrelle Willis came off the books.
Detroit is in good shape on the mound with a rotation led by Justin Verlander
and Scherzer and a strong bullpen fronted by Jose Valverde, but the team
needs to find some help for Miguel Cabrera in its lineup. Though Brennan
Boesch and Will Rhymes had their moments as rookies in 2010, both are
complementary players. The farm system will offer no immediate help, so the
Tigers may have to find position players via free agency.
Their best hope for an impact bat is third baseman Nick Castellanos, who
signed for a supplemental first-round record $3.45 million in August. He was
the Tigers' first pick in the 2010 draft after they gave their first-rounder
to the Astros as compensation for signing Valverde.
Detroit also exceeded MLB's bonus recommendations and gave seven-figure
bonuses to college pitchers Chance Ruffin and Drew Smyly. The club's
aggressive spending in the draft has landed them talents such as Verlander,
Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller (the key pieces of the trade that brought
back Cabrera), Rick Porcello and No. 1 prospect Jacob Turner. All seven
draftees on this Top 10 Prospects list were signed for over-slot bonuses.
The Tigers' front office has gone through as much turnover as their roster.
The team fired farm director Glenn Ezell in June and replaced him with field
coordinator Mike Rojas. Detroit also promoted scouting director David Chadd
to vice president for amateur scouting and special assistant to Dombrowski,
giving him additional responsibilities with major and minor league
evaluation. Chadd will continue to help make the decision on the team's early
draft picks, along with new scouting director Scott Pleis, who moved up from
national crosschecker. The Tigers also added two former scouting directors
after the season ended, hiring Tim Hallgren (Dodgers) to fill Pleis' old role
and Eddie Bane (Angels) as a pro scout.
