Should The Tigers Bring Back Maggs?

So Magglio Ordonez's agent Scott Boras thinks Ordonez is worth 2 years for $20 million...at least. Magglio is going to be 37 when the season starts next year and is coming off ankle surgery. Boras probably feels that when a lot of the big name outfield free agents now signed teams will become more desperate to acquire a player like Ordonez.

Are the tigers one of those teams? Now the Tigers still need a bat in the middle of their lineup and someone to play left field. The Tigers have stated on the past that they would be willing to bring Ordonez back at a lower salary but are they willing to commit 2 more years?

My guess is they will pass on Ordonez and roll the dice with Brennan Boesch or Casper Wells. But if Ordonez were willing to lower his demands slightly I would be willing to listen but with Scott Boras as his agent I wouldn't hold my breath.
