One area where the Tigers have been rumored to be shoppers is the bullpen. It's a situation that has been exacerbated by Todd Jones failures, Freddy Dolsi's shoulder fatigue, and Joel Zumaya's tricep issues and general control problems. But why don't the Tigers look inside the organization. After all this is a [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Why look elsewhere for bullpen help?", url: "http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2008/07/why-look-elsewhere-for-bullpen-help/" });

Game 104: White Sox at Tigers

July 27, 2008
PREGAME:Here's where I fess up a little. I'm writing this in the past so I don't know what happened last night. So I can't provide much context. The pitching match-up is Zach Miner and Javier Vazquez.
Vazquez looked nasty earlier in the year when he dominated the Tigers leading to a Leyland tirade. [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Game 104: White Sox at Tigers...

Game 103: White Sox at Tigers

July 27, 2008
PREGAME: One thing about the Tigers team the past couple years, they have a short memory. Crushing defeats don't seem to linger, and dramatic wins don't carry over either. That will be important with the Tigers sending out ace Justin Verlander.
Verlander has been great, and he'll have to do it again. [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Game 103: White Sox at Tigers...

Monday Morning Manager (My Weekly Take On the Tigers)

Todd Jones was a closer for another time -- a time when you bit on bullets to deal with pain, and they used mustard plasters for everything from headaches to internal diseases. A time when sports trainers taped an aspirin to your damaged knee and told you to get back out there.
Jones closing a ballgame was often tantamount...
Game 106: Tigers at Indians

PREGAME: After a lackluster effort the Tigers can hopefully muster some offense against Matt Ginter. You may remember Ginter as a former Tigers pitcher and an accomplished banjo player. The Indians picked him up and he's allowed just 3 runs in 2 starts with no walks.
Armando Galarraga takes the ball for Detroit. [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Game 106: Tigers at Indians...

Cabrera has Red Bat Power as Tribe shut-out Tigers
Asdrubal Cabrera uses the power of the red bat to hit his second home run of the year in the Cleveland Indians win over the Detroit Tigers. Plus, was Paul Byrd's shutdown outing the last with the Cleveland Indians?
Sox win relatively insignificant game over Tigers
I wasn't able to watch the White Sox dramatically come-from-behind to beat Detroit last night, but I was eager to see the highlights this morning on Sportscenter.
Evidently, the game wasn't as significant as I thought. Here is just a sampling of what Sportscenter producers felt was more important than the Sox increasing their lead over [...]
Todd Jones out as closer

July 27, 2008
Jim Leyland hasn't been shy about making changes to established roles this season. He quietly announced a big one on the radio pre-game show with Dan Dickerson when he said that Todd Jones is out as closer and Fernando Rodney would primarily assume the role.
It had become clear over the last couple weeks that [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Todd Jones out as closer"...
