Remeber the outrage last year when the Yankees "stole", Cacon from the Rockies and then used him to steal Craig Wilson?
Tigers: "That Jack Wilson guy sucks."
Pirates: "Yep."
Tigers: "Enough about him, back to Torres and Marte..."
Huh? Maybe Marte, but Torres and Chacon?
The Tigers would need to add something besides a caddy for Cesar Izturis.
Torres is a great relief option if you believe in his previous 3.5 seasons of work where he was basically the same really good reliever for about 300 innings rather than his somewhat goofy (and partly injured) 35 IP from this year.
Yeah, if you hold him up side-by-side with Dan Wheeler, his '04-'06 record is basically just as strong, maybe a little stronger if you really like the 20 extra innings a year.
I was very critical of the Chacon deal, but Ramirez is not that bad. He was quite good last year (139 ERA+), then opened this season with seven straight scoreless appearances before he got hurt. Since coming off the DL in mid-May his ERA is 16.62. If he ever gets healthy, he should be all right.
As for Chacon...he's a good long reliever and 5th/6th starter. Since that becomes unnecessary in the playoffs I don't know why a team would add him at the deadline.
