shin splints, or something similar (the other day they got picky about what they were calling it). He's just got to rest and wait for his lower legs to heal up and he's being fitted for shoe inserts.

Michigan scrapes past Illinois...really had trouble with the Illini's 2-3 zone and they played with a lot of length on the floor. Kinda surprised to see them struggle considering they beat THE zone team last year in Syracuse in the Final Four.
Also shows how important Jordan Morgan is to this team. They gave away the lead after he got his 4th foul. And when he was back on the floor, he was a matador on defense so he wouldn't foul out. Michigan will get bounced in the tournament when they face a team with too much length and talent in the front court.
Eager to see the rematch with Ohio State after Michigan took them down in Columbus. Impressive comeback in the second half on Nebraska by the Buckeyes...I wondered if Michigan would have a third meeting with the Huskers.

So, Iglesias might be out awhile. And there are some rumors we might go after Drew if we think Iglesias will be out awhile. Great way to start the season.

he's only 24 so its better to get this out of the way now. rather than let it get worse over time. the Wings management could learn a few things here. maybe if Zgot his back taken care of a few years back we would be looking good in the playoff picture right now. (I put an 8 point swing on this team with a healthy Z verses without him.)

I don't see why they wouldn't. he is still an upgrade defensively over Peralta. and about the has the about the same skills at the plate that Iggy has.

Yep. There is a reason why he remains a free agent. Same for Ervin Santana until an injury with Atlanta.
That said, Detroit has been linked to Stephen Drew for years.
My guess is that Detroit will bide their time. But I wouldn't be surprised if they do sign him.

I get the money reason but this team is built to win now. I would start the season without him and see how we do. if there is a noticeable hole in the infield and his replacement isn't making anything happen offensively (either in batting average or stolen bases) then sign him.
A fair bit of this team was built through guys we drafted and sold way high on, though. We've never had a really strong group of prospects under DD, but he's certainly leveraged every bit of it into bringing in some quality pieces. And first round picks have been a fair share of that.
I don't remember, but has baseball made it okay to trade picks yet? If so, I'd look to trade for a guy before signing Drew. If we're giving up the pick either way, maybe we can get someone a bit better or a bit more versatile (such as being able to slide into left field when Iglesias comes back and before Dirks gets healthy - assuming one happens before the other).
From Paul Wezner's twitter feed:
Reliable source. Begin trade rumors in earnest.
Here's Jason Beck's tweet, apparently the original source.

Start the season without making a move and you can always make a move later...I can understand not going with Drew due to the 1st round compensation.
I have them both in the final four with MSU winning everything and UofM being knocked out in the final four by Arizona.
are the Tigers and Wings sharing training staffs now?
Staying internal is the right choice right now. Iglesias didn't exactly carry a big bat, so if we can find someone who is competent at the position and not a total disaster at the plate. Worth's always had a decent glove,or maybe the kid from Erie (Suarez?) can make a grab for the spot.
That's smart. MI is my fav so I went with them to win it all. I have AZ & KS in the Final Four. It's a weird tournament. MSU & Louisville are both #4 seeds and favorites to win it all.
I can't prove it to you (although admitting I picked MI over MI ST in the final should give me some credibility with you), but I picked Dan Patrick's alma mater Dayton. The other first round upsets I picked are Harvard, Providence, ND St., NC St., and TN. If I was going to lie about my bracket (MI to win it all!), I would never admit picking so many upsets in the first round.
My parents met at MI. Enjoy the tourney, my friend!
