Mon, 10 Oct 2005 12:13:22 -0700
The Associated Press reports the Cleveland Indians claimed SP Sean Douglass (Tigers) off waivers after the Tigers attempted to outright him to Triple-A.Konerko interest is a lil bit surprising. If Konerko comes to Detroit, you may actually see Dmitri Young leave. I remember hearing about Knotts, heard he had some potential, but I guess he just wasn't doing that decent. But overall nothing to big. But that's why this is the small offseason happenings that aren't worthy of starting a thread.Tigers | Interest In Konerko

Surely going after a lot of Pirates staff.
The search for pitching coach goes on, really wouldn't know how good Hernandez is when DRays really don't have a good rotation for him to coach, but I'll leave it to Leyland and Dombrowski to determine who's good and who's not.Tigers | Interested in Pitching Coach Hernandez
