[LT Profits]

Detroit may have just won the pennant.

[Cappinpicks]

Very good closer that bolsters the Tigers' only weakness.

[Cuse0323]

Wouldn't go that far, Street still the better addition while Oakland is overall still the better team. The Angels looking damn good, wide open in the AL...Soria isn't the missing link.

[TheMoneyShot]

Give me Mike Henneman

[You mad bro]

nothing but average

[Cuse0323]

Still, a solid pickup. Those 10 blown saves for Detroit are out the window now, the playoffs are gonna be good stuff.

[Cappinpicks]

Who the hell is this guy?

you dont know who the best closer is who was allstar for royals? lmao must just started MLB

[TheMoneyShot]

I don't follow baseball that much. After the NBA playoffs... this is my off time. It's a waste of time capping a sport in which there is no fool proof system on winning.

nothing but average

How is that average? 411 strikeouts vs. 105 walks, 177 saves vs. 22 blown, 2.51 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. And those numbers are even better when taking away the injury-shortened 2013 season. This is basically his first full season since 2011, and he has 42 strikeouts vs. four walks in 33.1 innings and he leads all Major League relievers in FIP this year at a miniscule 1.07!

You completely wasted your time with this post.

[Robber]

Like the kinsler fielder trade looked, this looks like a win win

[Brock Landers]

He's the piece they needed

Maybe a middle guy, because Coke and basically anyone else they bring in are as bad as they get

[Mitchell88]

great move for Detroit, fills a gap that they needed. they are def on of the favs for pennant

[JMon]

I was sad to see him leave the Royals.

[opie1988]

Tigers gave up a lot for him.

Those 2 pitchers are their #2 & #4 rated overall prospects.

Soria always made me a little nervous, but that's also true for how Nathan made me feel. Unless your name was Rivera, I think that's true with most closers.
