I think if we were to replace Carlos at 3rd they would put Brandon in and just use Carlos at 3rd when Brandon needs to catch. I feel bad for all of the infielders in Toledo because we don't need any infielders so far this season. We already have like 10 people on our roster that can play in the infield. _________________

I don't care, Hess is a great player and deserves to try the majors again! |

141 AB is what? A month and a half? That's nothing! Especially when they're spread out over 3 years. How can anyone develop if they're not given a chance to play everyday? Look at Matt Joyce. Does anyone believe that he would be doing as good as he is if he wasn't playing almost everyday? Bring Hessman up, play him 4-5 days a week for 3 months and then reevaluate. That's the only way to see if he belongs here. This back and forth crap and only playing him once a week when he's here doesn't do anything. _________________

| I agree 141 over 3 seasons isn't much! But how old is Hessman?
Like 31? |

Yeah, he's like 30. But I'm not saying sign him to a 7-year deal. He's doing great in AAA and he should be given a chance with a struggling offense. All it would take is to DL Sheffield or DFA Thames. If he does good keep him for next year, if he does bad, oh well. At least you gave him an opportunity. _________________

| I agree!
He should get a shot!
But will it be with the Tigers?
That remains to be seen. If the Tigers fall out of contention or we get plaqued with injuries, Hessman probably will be called up |

| That's my point.
The Tigers have been giving up on a lot of players lately.
We should have won the 2006 WS;
I can't help but wonder how much different things would be now |

| We trade for and sign big name talent to large amounts of money;
I believe the 138 million dollar payroll wins us the WS in 08!
But I am getting concerned |

Damn! Some of those numbers make some current Tigers look like they are napping at the plate! Give the kid a shot! He can't do worse than Raburn or Larish! _________________ "I'm glad we're in the other division," Terry Francona, manager of the East-winning Boston Red Sox, told the Associated Press.
