Cubano Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) I spoke to a friend of mine that has some contacts in the Dominican R. today. He said that SS/2B Jose "Candelita" Iglesias may be drawing attention from the Tigers. Supposely, the Tigers are offering 3.5 millions. He defected in 2008 along side LHP Noel Arguelles and another pitcher in Canada while in the World Junior tournament. It is just a rumor. I do not think the Chi Sox will go after him bacause it does not make sense for them to do so. Edited February 28, 2009 by Cubano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Hates Prospects Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 When are we going to sign that Arguelles kid? I want to see him in the black and white already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense for the Tigers, because Adam Everett is a stopgap for now with Guillen moving to LF and Polanco is getting up there in years, too. I guess it depends on the number of years to say $3.5 million is a lot in this depressed market...if it's modelled on the Ramirez deal, it would be better...or the average or one year salary was $3.5 million, you would wonder why they didn't just go out and get Orlando Hudson, Cabrera, etc. I would be pretty surprised if DET sank that money into a playing heading into the perfect economic storm for the city that has been portended.

caulfield12 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Trying to drive up his trade value I'm sure...the results on the field will have a lot more to do with that than any PR hype attached to his appearances. They also had to scratch Bonderman already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
