Except it's not this signing "alone." The Tigers have signed Fernanda Vina at second, Carlos Guillen at short, Rondell White in left field, and Jason Johnson to start. All these are significant upgrades over the starters on the '03 team, most of whom had no business in the major leasgues. They still won't contend -- too deep a hole to climb out of -- but they will be improved.
