01 Dec 2009 18:17:31 PST

Written by billfer
The Tigers decided to offer arbitration to relievers Brandon Lyon and Fernando Rodney, but not to take the risk with second baseman Placido Polanco. We didn’t really learn too much by these moves that we weren’t already expecting. If nobody were offered it may have signaled that the Tigers...

One of the most intriguing (and vexing) aspects of this 2009 Detroit Tigers team is how quickly its fortunes seem to turn. On Sunday, after losing two of three in Oakland, the prospects for success - whether for the rest of this road trip, or further down the lie - didn't look that promising. ...
