Travel 2. Suit up and 3. worry about getting hurt. I think we'd be better off having the guys get 3 days OFF. It will be a good rest for them. I'm voting for Dimitri personally. He can be the token Tiger. ;-) It is only a few innings, but if they don’t play they don’t have to 1. Travel 2. Suit up and 3. worry about getting hurt.

I just think out of anyone on the team, I would least like to see Pudge playing on the All-Star team. I think the Tigers would be better served if he was allowed to take a three day vacation. Same goes for the pitchers. Actually, you are right..it is more fun when there is more Tigers in the game.

Is the All-Star game really that rough on players? They play a couple of innings max. Geez, please don't tell me I've ruined our playoff chances by voting for Pudge! :-) Just kidding. I'm sure the players could use the rest, but I selfishly must admit I enjoy the game more when our guys are in it. Frankly, I’ve used up all my votes voting the all-Tiger ticket.

VOTE NOW - PUDGE NEEDS YOUR HELP What are you waiting for? Voting ends today. According to Tuesday's All-Star update, just over 40,000 votes stand between Ivan Rodriguez and his chance to be a starter at the 2006 All-Star Game next month, with voting ending today. Fans can continue to vote, up to 25 times, with the Monster.com 2006 All-Star Online Ballot at MLB.com and all 30 club sites, until the fast-approaching deadline. Online balloting ends at 11:59 p.m. ET tonight, Thursday, June 29. Vote the full 25 times -- it'll help Pudge pass the Red Sox's Jason Varitek in the polls for starting catcher. My 2 pennies... Don't vote for Pudge, we are in a pennant race this year and need the players healthy for the 2nd half for a change. I hope Omar Infante is the token Tiger.

Makes you wonder if a guy like Maroth – if showing no major hang-up with his surgery would be good trade bait.

Hate to get rid of pitchers but with Sanchez doing OK in AAA, and the rest of the Tiger Rotation doing so well would Maroth be trade bait for a load of good prospects. Thoughts?

I was looking through the Tigers schedule and it looks like they don't have any doubleheaders scheduled. So if the Tigers go to a six man rotation for a while, everyone should get 5 days rest.

I think he's still a couple months away from rejoining the team, but he was at a practice last week and he has started to throw lightly. Marshall, Maroth is doing fine.

He actually only had four days rest, not five. There was no off day this rotation. The second, if you look at his game log, for about the past month it hasn't mattered whether he had four or five days. He's had bad days on five and good days on four. (He twice gave up four runs on five days rest, and he allowed two runs or less three times on four days). Look at May and it's similar. He allowed both three runs and no runs after the extra rest, but also allowed 0, 1 and 3 runs without the extra day. I'm not sure how different if woudl look if you took out the seven runs in two innings he gave up in his second start this season, but I bet it would be pretty close to even. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/gamelog?playerId=6341 Just my thoughts. Keep up the good work, Bilfer, you're always my first stop. While I’m sure there’s benefit to the extra rest, I think it’s not as pronounced as those stats would indicate.

While opponents would be interesting, I think the other factor to look at is progression. Take those stats from first 8 games and compare that to the last 8 games. Yesterdays game was a work of art. Finally - How is Mike Maroth progressing? Haven't heard from him, and it will be interesting to see what the Tigs do if he can come back?
