It has only been about four months since Al Avila took over as the Detroit Tigers' general manager, so we still don't have much of a track record to judge him by. Still, we like to periodically take the pulse of our readers, and we have a lot more to go on now than we did the last time a poll was conducted.
In particular, a pair of actual trades that will do more than plug a hole for a month. The Tigers acquired Francisco Rodriguez (a.k.a. K-Rod) and Cameron Maybin this month, shoring up weak bullpen and outfield units.
