The next wave of prospects that are supposed to provide a safety net against injuries and poor play from veterans isn't going to be there.<BR/><BR/>I'd be a lot more concerned if the Tigers had simply made this trade without also trading for Edgar Renteria and Jacque Jones. But all three trades seem to equal a huge overrecation from a team that was going to be pretty good even without emptying out their farm system.<BR/><BR/>Cleveland fans can go green with envy at the action the Tigers are taking this offseason. While I'd like to see the Indians add a solid piece or two, I think what the Tigers are doing is every bit as short-sighted as the overvaluing of prospects Shapiro is constantly reamed for.<BR/><BR/>It's not about the headlines you make in December, it's about the headlines you make in October.
