The Tigers have hit a combined 27 home runs as a team so far this year with Magglio Ordonez and Miguel Cabrera tied for the team lead with 5 each. The team has found their power only recently with 12 of the home runs coming in the last 5 games. According to Sportvision’s pitch f/x [...]
Curtis Granderson made his first rehab start tonight with Detroit’s Class-A team the West Michigan Whitecaps. Curtis had two hits, one a triple in four plate appearances. Here’s a summary of his at-bats:
Bottom 1st: Curtis Granderson singles on a ground ball to second baseman Alwin Perez.
Bottom 3rd: Curtis Granderson flies out to left fielder David [...]
Clete Thomas caught most of Detroit off guard as he was initially selected to break camp with the Big League squad. If you were like me then you didn’t know much, if anything, about him. I was not a fan of the initial decision to allow him a roster slot but I absolutely no complaints [...]
This season hasn’t started out quite as I had imagined but we’ve only played 1.85% of the games. I’ve had to pretty much keep my radio off on the way into and home from work since talk radio has been rife with second guessing many off-season moves that just days ago were being applauded. After [...]
With the broken hand of Granderson forcing him to the 15-day DL to start the season, Jim Leyland has reluctantly turned to Edgar Rentaria to fill the leadoff role.

Jason Beck had a good post last week on some comments made this spring by Ivan Rodriguez. The comments revolved around a change in his approach to the plate and his goal to see more pitches. As Jason points out this is crazy talk coming from a hitter such as Pudge, especially so late in [...]
While playing with my new camera, I took this video of Miguel Cabrera warming up before today’s game with the Blue Jays in Dunedin. It was pretty cool to see him out there in a Tiger uniform and took a little while to get use to seeing it. Was also nice to see he wasn’t [...]

I’m really late on this one. The first time I go on a business trip for weeks and I miss a major signing. Oh well. As this story has been covered throughout the Tiger blogosphere already, I won’t dwell on this news to much.
While not a big surprise it is great news to see that [...]
After yesterday’s Tigersfest it is looking more and more like Brandon Inge will be with the ballclub for the 2008 season.
