Bird to Mammal
Jason Johnson, non-tendered by Orioles, has signed with the Detroit Tigers. Not exactly a great career move, but he earned 11 win shares last year, and the best pitcher on the Tigers, Nate Cornejo, earned only 8. Johnson's not a great pitcher; he walks to many and doesn't strike out enough. The fact that he improves the Tigers rotation just shows how bad they were last year.
