For a team supposedly trying to save money, this signing boggles the mind. All of Moore's numbers have been terrible the last 2 years - hits/innings, Hr's allowed, era, etc. He barely qualifies for a minor league deal and the Tigers give him 2.5-3 million?

Don; any thoughts on who will play short-stop, internal or external? Why not spend some decent cash on this vacant everyday/critical position......oh well.

That's pretty much the minimum you'e going to pay for a veteran like that, even a bad one like Moore. Probably had to pay a little more to have it be only a one year deal. Guessing they want a lefty option and want some experience in the clubhouse.

This guy has been beyond terrible the last two years. There is no reason to justify 2.5 million. Zimmerman is a veteran more than capable of showing the other guys how NOT to pitch. The other Tiger starters this season are going to be the same as last year. The prospects won't arrive until 2020.
