Bunt Singles: Maggs’ last stand, huge series?

If he can’t hit in the HHH Dome, does he have any hope?So Ian asks in a pol...

Rethinking the Tigers’ bullpen
Year-to-year, you never know what you’re going to get, which makes the job of general manager pretty hard. The Tigers went from a total lock-down pen in 2006 to — eeeeyuuuch – a disaster waiting to happen in 2007. The Cleveland Indians thought they put the finishing touches on a pretty good p...

No Runs, Still Traveling: Athletics 5, Tigers 1
Well... Giambi came into today's game batting .197/.339/.366. Cust had been pushed down to the seventh or eighth spot in the A's batting order. Yet both of them hit two-run homers off Verlander this afternoon. And that was pretty much the difference in the ballgame. Cust's gave Oakland a lead it...

Opinion: Biggest concerns with the Detroit Tigers?
A week ago, I looked at the Tigers 40 percent of the way through the season and generally liked what I saw. The team isn’t perfect, but it is good enough to be leading the American League Central by four games almost halfway through the season. It had some flaws, but nothing overwhelming, comp...

Opinion: Which Tigers’ contract would you drop?
This is an interesting thought experiment that I saw posted on MLB Trade Rumors last night and thought I’d borrow. (It originated from Joel Sherman of the New York Post). Let’s pretend Major League Baseball wants to give a break to each of its 30 teams because the economy is so bad. The NBA did so...

Season preview: Getting D-fensive
No longer do the Tigers start a putrid-hitting Gary Sheffield and bat him third because he’s Gary Sheffield and he used to be good. They ate his salary for one reason: he’s not good now. No longer does Leyland look down at his bench for a pinch runner and realize his fastest player not in the game...
