DETTodd JonesJason GrilliLike Borowski without the quality replacements
how is grilli next in line lol grilli should be somewhere in -AAA ball if there was one this guy is stupid and his rankings suck IMO

While I didn't write this article, I would put two and two together here and say that the author makes sense. He says that Jones has no quality replacements, and cites Grilli as one of the potential alternatives. Now if Jones were to lose his job, I'm not sure the Tigers would go to Grilli, but they don't exactly have any better options with major league experience who are healthy at the moment. Thus, the statement that Jones has no quality replacements is pretty accurate.
