I don’t mean any disrespect to Felipe Alou, who was a fine manager six or eight years ago. But there simply isn’t any reason to think that Alou is the right man to guide the Tigers back to something resembling respectability. Of course, we don’t know if Luis Pujols is the man for the job, either. He does have (relatively) youthful exuberance on his side, but for the rest we’ll have to trust Dombrowski.
