Ian Kennedy could be a cost-effective boost to the Tigers' rotation

This offseason's starting pitching market is one of the richest in recent years. Looking for an ace? There are several available. Solid mid-rotation starters? Yup, plenty of them. As one of many teams looking to improve their rotation this offseason, the Detroit Tigers are going to have plenty of options available to them. They're also going to face quite a bit of competition.

One free agent flying under the radar is Padres righthander Ian Kennedy. According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, Kennedy is among a group of starters the Tigers have indicated interest in, headed by lefthander Scott Kazmir.
