TIGERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
What will Tigers do with Berry when Jackson returns?
A situation arose Sunday that is going to make it difficult for Detroit to send Quintin Berry back to the minors when Austin Jackson comes off the disabled list at week's end. Jackson is eligible to return June 1, when Detroit returns home to host the New York Yankees in a weekend set. Detroit won't have to rush him due to Berry's fine job as a fill-in (through Sunday...

Quintin Berry's catch, Miguel Cabrera's home run saves Tigers
Quintin Berry is certainly making the most of his cup of coffee with the Detroit Tigers while Austin Jackson nurses a strained abdomen. In fact, Berry has played so well, that it's likely the Tigers make an unexpected move to keep Berry around after Jackson returns.
On Sunday against the Twins, Berry became the first Tiger since at least 1918 to hit safely in his first five...

More, please: Cabrera’s bat ignites, Tigers sweep Minnesota Twins
If the Detroit Tigers are going to right the ship, they need slugger Miguel Cabrera to be… well, Miguel Cabrera — one of the most-feared hitters in all of baseball. Prior to the Tigers’ three-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins, Caberera wasn’t hitting the ball like the All-Star pitcher-slayer we’ve been accustomed to seeing. In [...]

Defense is a weakness for Tigers
I loved the Tigers, you loved the Tigers, we all loved the Tigers.
But the team has one major flaw, and rival scouts and executives were talking about it as far back as spring training.
Defense.
True, the Tigers have performed below expectations offensively, ranking only seventh in the American League in runs per game.
That figures to change, and rival executives say that the...

Game 2012.47: Tigers at Twins
Detroit Tigers, 22-24, 4 games behind Cleveland, winning streak: 2.
I can finally stop worrying how the Tigers are going to get back to .500 without winning winning consecutive games. We are now in the midst of a full-blown 2-game winning streak. It’s almost enough to make one forget the shaky defense they have been playing.
The offense came through again, and the icing on...

Tigers remain confident through frustrations
MINNEAPOLIS Jim Leyland makes his own rules.Jim Leyland sits at a borrowed desk, his feet propped up in their navy blue, white-tipped socks, and Jim Leyland owns that desk, if only for three days.Lined up neatly on that desk are a cell phone vintage 2002, one of those silver flip phones that was at the time a novelty some pens, a pack of Marlboros and a blue lighter.

Twins would have preferred to face Verlander
MINNEAPOLIS After Sunday, the Minnesota Twins will have played the Detroit Tigers five times. Of those five games, however, they'll have avoided facing Tigers ace Justin Verlander so far this season.
That's seemingly a good thing on paper, as the reigning American League MVP and Cy Young winner is 5-2 with a 2.15 ERA in 10 starts so far this season. But Minnesota's...

Its Brookens Time For the Detroit Tigers
The Detroit Tigers have had an underwhelming start to this season, and it’s no surprise that Jim Leyland has directly taken the heat for their start. With a team with names like Justin Verlander, Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, Austin Jackson, and Delmon Young it seems as if the managers job should already be done for [...]

Fixing the Detroit Tigers one player at a time, part 3
I have spent the last 2 articles trying to “fix” the Detroit Tigers’ hitters. Part 3 of this series will take a peek at the pitching and see what needs mending.
The Tigers as a staff rank 11th out of 14 AL teams in ERA at 4.13. Take a look at the splits though and you’ll see that the starters rank 6th at 3.84 while the bullpen as a unit ranks dead last at 4.71. The pen has...

What is going on with the Detroit Tigers? Their subpar play is frustrating
Something is amiss in the Detroit Tigers clubhouse, or at least it appears to be. Sluggish play, lack of hustle and, simply put, bad baseball contributed to being swept in a three-game series by the Cleveland Indians. Tigers ace pitcher Justin Verlander has said “yelling” at teammates won’t accomplish anything. Has that already been done? [...]

Leyland gets fired up over Tigers' lack of offense
Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland isn't a screamer, not in the clubhouse anyway. He's not shy about losing in the dugout, though, generally directing his tirades toward umpires. Such as Wednesday night when he blew up against the home plate umpire after an outside 3-0 pitch was called a strike on Miguel Cabrera with the bases loaded and two out in a 2-2 game. Cabrera...
