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. This isn’t surprising at this point since his high salary and low OPS last year has made a trade difficult. There has also been absolute silence on the trade front for the past few […]

Last year Jim Leyland tried out something new by using a platoon at the lead off spot. The player that was leadoff depended on the starting pitcher for the opposing team wherein Curtis Granderson hit first against RHP’s and Pudge Rodriguez hit first against LHP’s. This was due to Grandersons’ well documented inability to hit […]

The ZiPS projections for the Detroit Tigers 2008 season were released this morning. They are a bit more pessimistic than I had expected and there are worries about depth and the impact injuries would have:
Pretty clearly, the Tigers are one of the AL’s Big 5, but I think they’re probably still 5th, for the simple […]

One reason I like Dave Dombrowski is how quickly he gets to work in the off-season to fill any holes in the ball club. ESPN’s Buster Onley takes note of this as well, though giving credit to Jim Leyland’s decisiveness, in a recent blog entry:
If you’re around Jim Leyland for 10 seconds, you quickly ascertain […]

With Cleveland clinching the division title today and the NY Yankees wittling their magic number for claiming the wild card slot to 2 games, Detroit Tiger fans have a few reasons to continue to watch. First, and foremost, is the American League batting title race in which Magglio Ordonez is working to lock it up […]

2006 was an amazing year for the Tigers and not just because of the eventual outcome. The regular season was filled with late inning heroics, come from behind victories and the Tigers bullpen racking up holds and saves in 1 run games. While watching last evenings loss to the Oakland Athletics, these late-inning rallys from […]
Last year the Tigers seemed to improve overnight from a 2005 record of 71-91 (.438) to end the 2006 season 95-67 (.586). This year it seems that the Detroit offense has made a similar improvement. The 2006 offense wasn’t quite that anemic and ended the year 8th in runs scored (822) and 10th in batting […]
There have been those around Detroit who have jumped on Jim Leyland for comments he made on why he didn’t and wouldn’t pinch hit for Craig Monroe. Monroe had just finished his 5th at-bat and his 5th strikeout of the day with his last at-bat being particularly harsh as he stranded the tieing run on […]
