Daily Linking - 8/26

Links of note, or stuff I find interesting, or stuff I think you might find interesting

• Tigers to try Larish at third - Jeff Larish heads to the Arizona Fall League to work on fielding the hot corner. Smart move since he's effectively blocked at first base. At the very least maybe he increases his trade value. On another note, how sad is it that AFL assignments are about the only thing we have to look forward to.
• Tigers’ Kenny Rogers placed on waivers, could be traded | Freep.com | Detroit Free Press - He could be traded, but I doubt it.
• Put the Tigers’ Bullpen in Cruz Control? - Bless You Boys - Ian touts Juan Cruz as an affordable and attractive option for the Tigers as a bullpen free agent target.
• The Immaculate Inning: What’s Wrong: Justin Verlander - What's wrong with Justin Verlander? Maybe nothing.
• Detroit Tigers Thoughts: How to Fix a Bullpen, Part 6 - One more from Eddie. He's really been on a roll, plus my link posting thingy hasn't been working so I'm way behind. But this is part of a 6 part series on how to build a bullpen. Great reading.
• Detroit Tigers Thoughts: Skelton Again - Eddie gets biomechanical and shows that James Skelton slight stature may actually increase his durability instead of inhibiting it - as many have worried about.
• Detroit Tigers Thoughts: Projected Elias Rankings - Eddie has cracked the Elias Free Agent ranking system. Pudge is looking like he could end up being a B type free agent. If he does that means one less draft pick lost in the trade, thus making the trade look better.
• Tiger Tales: A Detroit Tigers Blog: Where does Galarraga’s rookie season rank in Tigers history? - Lee looks to see how Armando Galarraga's season stacks up against other rookie campaigns in Tiger history.
