Yoenis Cespedes… A “sure thing” or a GAMBLE?

Some timely link posting on the Cespedes situation… read up people!!

Is Yoenis Cespedes Really worth the Hype? – ESPN – Nearly half the clubs in the MLB have shown interest, but who will strike, and will the investment pay dividends?

Yoenis Cespedes signing before spring training – Yahoo Sports – Cespedes should be in the US in the next 7-10 days, where will he practice this spring? Arizona or Florida?

Can you Imagine if the Tigers did sign Yoenis Cespedes? – Detroit CBS Local – He’s likely not a better CF than A-Jax, but could he be a better leadoff hitter?  Who knows.. the first test is whether or not he can handle MLB pitching.

MLB Power Rankings: February Predictions and Rankings for All 30 teams – Bleacher Report – OK, this doesn’t really have anything to do with Cespedes, but this drove me nuts to read!!!  Tigers come in at #15, what is Matt Trueblood smoking?

I’m not going to lie, I think the guy has some good potential, but the true test will come when he faces big league pitching.  If Ilitch wants to reach deep and make it happen, I wouldn’t complain, thats for sure… but there is a part of me that wouldn’t mind camping out on the sidelines and seeing how this guy shakes out in the big show.  I feel pretty good about our chances without him already.
