August 10, 2012
From George King:
With Ivan Nova getting spanked the past two outings and Freddy Garcia failing to provide consistent length, the Yankees’ rotation requires a boost.
That is expected to be supplied by Andy Pettitte, but general manager Brian Cashman can’t predict an exact date when the 40-year-old lefty will come off the disabled list.

From Erik Boland: Experience has taught Brian Cashman to be cautious with these things, but the news continues to be positive regarding Pedro Feliciano , apparently ready to take another significant step in his rehab that could lead to a September call-up.
The lefthander, signed to a two-year $8-million contract (with a club option for 2013) before the 2011 season, has been throwing...

Miguel Cabrera is having an outstanding season for the Tigers. It’s the type of season we have come to expect from the 29-year-old over his 13-year career. Cabrera has 29 homers to go along with 95 RBI. His batting average is an impressive .322 and his on-base percentage is a solid .384. There is still a lot of baseball left to be played, but Cabrera is a definite American League...

Dear Madam or Sir, Supposedly, Brett Gardner is pondering a September comeback as pinch runner. No. No-no-no-no. En. Oh. NO. We'll kill the guy. He returns too soon, tries a headfirst slide, pops a gonad and it’s, "Hello Dr. Snipsnip." Forget Gards. Let him heal. Better idea: Sign Usain Bolt. No kidding.

Last night, we dodged a bullet. A hollow point. Casey McGehee - the newly shaven firstbaseman who is holding third for us until Arod's hand can once again grip a lobster fork - butchered a DP grounder, which nearly lead to a late inning collapse of Biblical proportions. Or at least the stuff of literary domain. ("That aint my style," said Casey. "E-5,"...

Looking forward to the Detroit Tigers 2013 payroll situation
There’s still a lot of baseball to be played in 2012, and from the way things look to be shaping up in both the AL Central race (a half game out) and the AL Wildcard race (a half game up), the Tigers are going to be in the thick of the postseason battle from here on out.
But with the non-waiver trade deadline in the rear-view mirror, we can begin to create a fairly realistic...

Phil Hughes' last start in Detroit was a complete-game win over the Tigers, the first nine-inning effort of his career. Hughes was unable to duplicate that performance Tuesday in the New York Yankees' 6-5 loss to the Tigers, allowing four runs on eight hits over 4 1/3 innings. Hughes was ahead in the count all night but struggled to put hitters away, causing his pitch count...

There’s a distinction to be made between the terms “power hitter” and “hitter with power.”
The former typically lives and dies with three true outcomes — maybe only two if they lack discipline. Adam Dunn perfectly represents this group, a hitter who would be nothing without his ability to mash the ball 500 feet. Jose Bautista has other skills, but driving fly balls...
