The draft had plenty of Drama last night. Luckily, (no thanks to Matt Millen) the Lions stayed out of the headlines by selecting the number one rated player in the draft in Ndamukong Suh with the second pick overall. They also traded up in the bottom of the first round to get Jahvid [...]

Ernie Sims’ time in Detroit is over. The often injured LB was shipped to Philadelphia for Tony Scheffler, formerly the TE for the Denver Broncos. Detroit also received a 7th round pick. It seems like there may be another move in the making as this leaves a hole in the LB Corps where Sims [...]

Wow, the Tigers are hot right now. After Justin Verlander gave up 5 runs in the first inning that included a Grand Slam, the Tigers looked poised to lose their second game of the season. Well, this season so far has things going the Tigers the way right now.

Veteran Guard, Rob Sims signed a 1 year tender with Seattle which could make him available for trade. The Tender calls for a 4th round draft pick in compensation but the Seahawks could take less. Sims is a decent guard and would fill a need at Left or Right Guard for the Lions. [...]

Detroit Tigers Report: Nate Robertson to be Traded?

Joe — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 12:32:53 +0000

Rumors have it that the Tigers are trying to move Nate Robertson in a trade. That means that Jim Leyland is good to go with Dontrelle Willis and Jeremy Bonderman for the 4th and 5th spots in the rotation. I’m all for trading Nate but good luck with his clearly bloated contract. [...]
