The Motor City Kitties - After scoring 53 runs in the first 5 games of their home stand over a bad Seattle team and 2 games against a young Minnesota squad, the Tigers managed to score one run against Minnesota and their rookie lefty hurler,
Glen Perkins. Now calling this year's incarnation of the Tigers an enigma would be an understatement. This lineup loaded with this much talent and experience have been bit by the Yankee-itis bug. Big payroll, marginal results. The starting staff have been inconsistent as the overachievers of the staff have seemed to plateau and the most inexperience relief cannot hold a lead. As I do feel confident the home team will pull out of the tailspin there in and I know it's only May, but... I worry they are another big injury from being out of contention as the offense will need to carry this team thru the summer. And I also happen to think D-Train would make a much better set-up/closer than replace
Armando Galarraga in the rotation. If the young guy can give you quality innings, you just can't hide $8 Million in the bullpen or even as a fifth starter. The bully needs another veteran presence and he could give it to you one inning at a time. I know, I know... it's crazy, but hear me out.
