The Tigers picked up Edgar Renteria this winter. I am an American League fan and know little about him. They made the move partially to take Guillen to first base. I am not familiar with Edgar. He had a big batting average last year, which probably makes him overpaid. How is he in the clubhouse? How is his range and dbl play turning? Hows he in the clutch. ? ---

He’s a shortstop and he played for the Cardinals. You probably won’t like him. ---

He hit over 300 several times. Shortstops can hit too. ---

He was very good with the Braves last year. He was said to be good in the club house as well. I hated to see him go.
