From my viewpoint, the team is on what I like to call a "fast rebuild", but I'm not sure a guy like Contreras fits that. Then again, like you said, the Tigers need catching and the next couple of years is sorely lacking catching talent, so maybe it is the right move.

I think I lean with you in that you can't give up the pick. If you were close to being a contender it would be a different story. I’m pretty sure this new group is chomping at the bit to prove themselves in the draft as well. Christian Vazquez would be my second choice. Nowhere near the player Contreras is. More of a quick band aid and then you really hope Dingler is up soon.
