Tigers Sign Zimmermann According to CBS Sports

Great signing. Tigers needed another frontline starter and I would much rather sign him than Cueto. Still need a no. 5 but there are plenty of those around. Also need one or two relievers. I didn't like the Maybin trade unless they get rid of Gose and find another leftfielder. The thought of Gose, Maybin and Collins filling out 2 of the 3 outfield spots every day is depressing. Keep working Avila!

A COUP. I love this guy, he's solid as all hell. Now sign me a thumper and bring on April! This team is improved.

Really think a 5?

I see JV #1, Zimmerman #2, TBD #3, Sanchez #4, and Norris [[probably) #5.

I might agree to add another #4 or #5 [[and move Sanchez up to #3), take the saved money and go for Cespedes for LF. Maybin replaces Davis.

If Cespedes isn't going to re-sign with the Mets, he may as well come back to Detroit.

And one more arm in the 'pen.

So I want: Cespedes, a #4 or 5, and another reliever.

Is that doable within the payroll parameters?
