December 8, 2008 Updating an earlier report, the Tigers have inked Adam Everett, according to FOX Sports. It is a one-year deal for $1 million, plus incentives.
Our View:The acquisition is pending a physical. That likely puts the Tigers out of consideration to trade for Jack Wilson. Everett will offer little with his bat, but is solid defensively.
December 6, 2008 The Orioles have expressed interest in Adam Everett, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Our View:Everett offers little with his bat but is a solid defensive shortstop. The Orioles currently do not have a shortstop on their 40-man roster.
December 5, 2008 The Tigers are going to meet with Adam Everett's rep at the upcoming Winter Meetings, according to the Hot Stove Blog on MLB.com.
Our View:He would be a good acquisition for Detroit as he is solid defensively and could likely be signed for a favorable price. There are other undisclosed MLB clubs interested in Everett as well.
November 20, 2008 Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports believes Adam Everett would be a good fit for the Tigers.
Our View:He could likely be signed for a low price, and Tigers' third-base coach Gene Lamont worked with Everett during their time together in Houston. The Tigers wouldn't need him to be strong offensively either in a potent lineup that features Miguel Cabrera and Curtis Granderson.
October 7, 2008 Shortstop Adam Everett will be a free agent after the season, and the Twins are unlikely to resign him, according to TwinsBaseball.com.
Our View:Everett has never been a good hitter, and his average was .213 this year. His penchant has always been fielding, and he didn't even do that very well in 2008, sporting a fielding percentage of .967.
