I'm confused by what reports mean of the 'next Internation FA signing period' - ie. is that the one we are in now? Or is it the one after this one?
If it's next one, and there would be no repercussions for doing it, I'd hand $15 million over to Bob Engle and let him run free.

This team is not in a bad position. I'm utterly convinced of GM Jack's desire to build a winner. I'm also utterly convinced that we have the wrong management and ownership group in place to get us over the top.
Invest in the minor leagues, lower payroll, build it right, and sell the team to somebody who cares about winning.

As Heyman tweeted:

no mystery here: tigers pizza king is one terrific owner. on@CBSSports. tinyurl.com/6v9qfhc
And man am I jealous. I think the price was too steep. I think the Tigers overpaid, and the 82 year old owner doesn't give a rats about what I think. He wants to win. And win badly. And that's what I want in my owner.
