9,, for Verizon Wireless. First, the Tigers drafted Curtis Granderson and Joel Zumaya in this draft, nothing to sneeze at there. Second, prior to the start of the season, they picked up Craig Monroe off of waivers. This means they gave up nothing for a guy who would hit 101 homers while with the Tigers. Say what you want about C-Mo, (he was the easiest K ever) but you just couldn’t beat the price and he had some good years in Detroit.Worst Transaction: Releasing Tony Clark. Tony the Tiger had a decent year in 2001, slumping a bit in power, but his OPS was a healthy 131. However, the Tigers needed to make room for Carlos Pena and Clark was a casualty. It’s possibly, though, that the Tigers gave up on Clark too soon.
