Nate Robertson returns to the Marlins organization. Tough call for me.....I get the idea of moving Robertson for a prospect and I know they had to clear roster space. But he was pitching decently and the Tigers are going to need some innings throughout the year. Nate posted a 3.68 ERA in his starts last year. He'd struck out 19 batters in 19.1 IP this spring.
He's been one of my favorites, so this isn't fun to see. Winning game 1 of the ALCS in 2006, outdueling Roger Clemens in '06, "Gum time", and numerous other highlights. Certainly plenty of lowpoints too. The Tigers haven't traded a former Cy Young contender either.
So......Bonderman and Willis.....we shall see how this goes. Shouldn't be boring.
