Which Free Agents Are Available To the Detroit Tigers?

Quick post for now, my friends. I think we all can agree that the Tigers may/should still be looking for cheap options in the form of a left handed bat, as well as a right handed reliever.

Here's a quick look at guys still on the free agent market who shouldn't be too expensive. (via MLB Trade Rumors )

Bats

Hank Blalock
Russell Branyan (maybe too expensive after last year?)
Jack Cust (already rumors connecting him to Detroit)
Eric Hinske
Mike Jacobs
Garret Anderson (Type B free agent)
Cliff Floyd
Scott Podsednik (rumors...ugh)
Ryan Church

Jason Giambi

Jim Thome (how much can he demand any more?)

Arms

Mike MacDougal
Danys Baez
Joaquin Benoit
DJ Carrasco
Chad Cordero
Kelvim Escobar (more Tiger-connected rumors)
Bob Howry (Type B free agent)
Jason Isringhausen (37 years old)
Justin Speier
Jeff Weaver (doubt it)

Any ideas from you kids? Is trade the better route?

Or do we need more lefties out of the pen? Harf, harf...be back in a couple days with No. 23 on the DNR 25. Hint: It's another fat guy.
