Sports: A Game Of Inches

We are four humble men who love sports, but hate sports commentary. Peter Gammons is our hero and John Madden is our enemy. If you were to ask us our purpose, our answer would be simple: "We are forever locked in Mortal Kombat for the souls of sports fans everywhere. Statistics are our science and 'the immeasurable character of men' is the obsolete religion of blind faith. Our job is to prove that God doesn't exist and that athletes are merely cold, metal machines with no hearts or souls."

Tigers barren minor league system

Thanks to a handful of trades and poor draft picks over the past few seasons, the Tigers minor league system is barren. Take a look at the four trades that wiped them out:

Jair Jurrjens (SP) for Edgar Renteria (SS) and Gorkys Hernandez (OF)
Andrew Miller (SP), Cameron Maybin (CF), Burke Badenhop (P) plus a handful of unknowns for Dontrelle Willis (SP) and Miguel Cabrera (3B/1B)
Rudy Darrow (SP) for Josh Anderson (CF)
Matt Joyce (CF) for Edwin Jackson (SP)

Too lazy/hungry to do analysis. Just sayin'
