All right, we're going to get back to the phones.

I just want to welcome the people in the 3 o'clock audience, and I've offered a question.

I don't think anyone is wrong.

I think all three of these are justifiable, but we're doing this one day only event, the Terrick Scoobble Day.

What do you want the Tigers to do with them?

This isn't a predictive measure.

It's what you want as a paying customer.

A, you sign him. I mean, you're outside the top 20 and payroll commitments for next year,

and you've only got about $27 million of total payroll for 2007. You have the best pitcher in baseball.

He's here now. You pay him.

You're going to have to overpay to do it? Yeah. Is Scott Boris paying the ass? Yep. I may as well get that Dan Campbell drop. Yeah. Yeah. But you pay him. And you know, it'll be a bad deal at some point, but it gives you your best chance to win. And you send a message to your fans that, look, we're real.

And while we're never going to have the payroll,

the Yankees are dodgy, but it gives you your best chance to win. And you send a message to your fans that, look, we're real.

And while we're never going to have the payroll, the Yankees, or Dodgers,

we're not letting the best pitcher leave our midst to do what exactly?

Okay, that's A.

B, you trade him.

You're not going to pay him.

Boris is absolutely hurtling him to free agency. And you're not going to get caught with Boris is absolutely hurtling him to free agency,

and you're not going to get caught with your pants down and get nothing for him.

So you're going to trade him.

And the deal will have to feature a major league level piece or two and some prospects.
