Tigers Sign Casey

by Geoff Young on November 29th, 2006

The Tigers acquired Sean Casey from the Pittsburgh Pirates late in the 2006 season and although he didn’t do much in 53 regular-season games with his new team, he ended up being one of the few bright spots for Detroit in the World Series. Casey has re-signed with the Tigers for 1 year, $4 million. He doesn’t hit a lot of home runs, but his gaps power and strong on-base skills — which call to mind former Angels and Padres first baseman Wally Joyner — should serve him well for another few years.

Solid player at a reasonable price, with no long-term commitment. What’s not to like?
