It's a no-win situation for the Tigers. If he does well, then they're under tremendous pressure to keep him in the bigs, which he's not really ready for yet (see VanHekken after his performance vs. the Yankees); if not, then you risk shattering his confidence and stunting his development. Again, I really don't like this decision. Not to rehash all the arguments in the past post, but I really don’t like this decision. It’s a no-win situation for the Tigers.

As for pressure, I dont know that Dombrowski even knows what that is. <br> <br>We have to remember that this is a front office that has never shown fear with young pitchers at the ML level, especially the ones who have excelled in the minors (both low and high). Granted, this is by no means a necessary move as the Tigers could use any number of pitchers in this spot. But Verlander has been hands down the premiere pitcher on the Detroit farm this season, so why not? Its July 4, its a doubleheader, its *cleveland*, it would help the ML rotation stay on schedule, and all it does is push Verlander's start back a few days. Lets not read too much into this. <br> <br>And I dont mean to pick on ya Keith, but there is no comparing Verlander to Andy Van Hekken; at risk of sounding hyperbolic, Verlander is a bullet-throwing monster of a pitcher next to A. Van Hekken. And what in his profile would indicate this guy would be shattered and stunted by a bad start?

I think there is a good argument he is the premier pitcher in all of the minor leagues. Verlander isn’t just the premier pitcher from the Detroit minor leagues.
