The Tigers and Scott Schoeneweis
After yet another list of rumors of the Mets' interest in Rich Aurilia and the Phillies' interest in David Weathers, it's kind of nice to see a fresh face among the rumors.
According to the Detroit Free Press, the Tigers might be interested in pursing Scott Schoeneweis:
Free agent Jamie Walker, a Tiger since 2002, has said he would like to return to the club and challenge John Hiller's club record for relief appearances. Walker's agent, Phil Tannenbaum, said recently that Walker is seeking a three-year deal, and the Chicago Sun-Times reported Sunday that Walker is a top target of White Sox GM Kenny Williams.
If Walker signs elsewhere, Detroit would likely pursue Scott Schoeneweis (Cincinnati Reds) and Ron Villone (New York Yankees). The Tigers have already expressed interest in both left-handers.
Wouldn't you know it? And just when I figured out how to spell his name.
