"ON THE LIONS, TIGERS, AND MARIANO RIVERA"

"Should the Tigers go after A-Rod or Mariano Rivera?

• Rivera all day everyday.

First of all no team has ever won a title by paying one player more than 30% of the team total budget. Second of all A-Rod is a playoff hack and frankly a waste of money.

• With Rivera you get a guy with a lifetime 2.23ERA and a 74K to 12BB ratio this past season. did I mention he is the best post season closer ever? Rodney, Zumaya, Rivera= title."
