Wilson signed thru '08
Tigers and Vance Wilson agreed to a two-year, $1.9 million contract extension that could go over $2 million if he has enough plate appearances over the next couple years. He would've been a free agent at season's end, so this solidifies the catching situation for next year and gives the Tigers an option in 2008 depending on what happens with Pudge. It appears the Tigers are showing more and more willingness to do contracts in-season.
Good signing and congratulations to Vance.
Pretty dependable sort and a nice complement to Pudge.

I agree that this is a good signing. Vance has been very dependable and provides good defense when he is in there. The offense this year has been a plus. I also don't know that we have much in the minors at that position to replace him.
