But his day has past lets move on. I am just sorry we paid so high a price for his tenure. Guillen would be an ideal DH, although I  hate the DH rule……Guillen could bat third or sixth. The speedy new guy, Josh Anderson is the perfect leadoff hitter. Steady, solid, good hit & run man, Polanco bats second.( I can not understand why Leyland does not hit & run ever)…Guillen or Granderson bat third. The franchise player, Cabrera would sit in the clean-up spot..The hit man, the amazing Ordonez would bat fifth. Thames, Thomas or Guillen would alternate batting sixth. Laird or Thames number 7. Inge would bat 8 and Everett would bring up the tail end and bat 9.

On the mound, I like Verlander, as number 1, followed by impressive Jackson as number 2, although I would like a southpaw, Willis would have been ideal but he needs paxil. Bonderman has problems too..Why does the Detroit pitchers all have anxiety disorders and suffer from a lack of confidence? (LEYLAND Pulls his pitchers too early!) They can bearly throw past the fifth inning. They are looking in the dug-out for Leyland to pull the plug. Mickey Lolich did 300 innings a year! Galarraga replaces injury prone Bonderman. Robertson goes fourth or fifth in the rotation if he is not traded. We need more pitchers! I like Rincon in the bullpen..I believe he has not allowed a run in ST..

I hope he can recover he was such a good pitcher! If he could learn to focus and calm down..He needs to get the ball over the plate!

 

  

I guess Robertson wins the starting rotation by default, unless the Tigers decide to go with an all righty starting rotation.Bloom never rose to the occasion in a Tiger uniform, the lanky lefty was returned to the Pirates pretty touched up….

 

It is good to see the meat of our batting order back from The World Baseball Classic!I feel the WBC is not worth the effort! There is no reason why front line players need to play in the WBC…They need pratice to play against major league baseball players…Besides, we are paying them to play here not in WBC!

Ramon Santiago had the only rbi for the Tigers when he had a rbi single in the fourth inning.  Other then that the Tigers were shut down by Josh Beckett in the game.

Justin Verlander took the loss for the Tigers after pitching six innings.  Verlander gave up nine hits and five runs in his six innings of action.  He fell to the 1-6 on the season with the loss.

There is no question that the Tigers are a struggling baseball team right now.  The offense isn’t scoring enough runs, and the pitchers just aren’t throwing the ball like everyone thought they would this year.
