All teams should mostly be looking to build from within their own farm system. Just look at the Phillies and Yankees. Both have ace left-handed pitchers in C.C. Sabathia and Cole Hamels. Sabathia just signed a 7 year, $161 million deal with the Yanks while Hamels signed a 3 year, $20.5 million extension with the Phillies. MUCH better deal for Philadelphia here. This has nothing to do with this story, except that all teams should be looking to build from within. It's the best, most cost-efficient way to win and win big.

Tigers need to find that arm in their own system, to go out and spend money on old tired pitchers is just a waste.

It is time, with contracts coming up, to get the bullpen health from within.

Hey Tigers, I was reading on google that Bruce Sutter is wanting to make a comeback. I think the Braves are still paying him, so you could get him for the minimum. Interested? Better hurry or the Yankees will scoff him up soon!!!

Well I think its a smart move we need middle relief, and this doe'nt come with a high price tag, so if it doe'nt work out it's not a big loss. But if it works that just extra arm you can count on and pitching wins championships.  But I still think the tigers do need to go out and get some more arms.

wow Scott Williamson is it 313-471-ball for my season tickets.what a joke

Just make sure you don't boo him because if you do he will give the fans the bird!  He did this in Cincinnati!

Safe signing no real down side, I was surprised Williamson is only 33.  A comeback for a 33 year old reliever isn't too much of a longshot.

I'd say Izzy would be the same kind of deal.  Reasonable contract, no ego or disruption, and if he turns it around it could be huge.  The difference between fading in August or making a little noise.

As if the Tigers' bullpen isn't already full of a bunch of bruised-up bums... Stop signing injured players.

Why doesn't Dombrowski sign Jason Isringhausen.   He's coming off of elbow surgery, but might be worth a shot.  He's always been a pretty good closer. 

unfortunately, at this point I think Dave Dombrowski will sign anyone.

Serious, if Dennis Eckersley threw a ceremonial first pitch at some game, DD would get in touch with him.
