Tigers and Livan Hernandez?

According to Paul Morosi, the Tigers are interested in Livan Hernandez. MLBTR has their analysis, and I completely agree. Hernandez was a Diamondback last year and was a nice innings eater. In fact he has had over 200 innings in the last 9 of the past 10 years. Hernandez would be an interesting acquisition but I am totally against it. Being 33 Hernandez would require around a 3-4 year deal for $33-44 million. That is too much for a pitcher who is in a decline mode. He has had a lot of innings but also given up many runs as well. He went 11-11 last year with a ERA of 4.93. That is not a good #3 or 4 pitcher nor a good choice for the Tigers team chemistry. This acquisition would be not seen as a good signing by the majority of Tigers fans. Still Carlos Silva and Willis are on the Tigers list. I really wish the Tigers would consider Kyle Lohse though.
