And of course, Gomez may be the player who ends up being the difference in the Tiger "W", (If we can keep this lead), so Leyland's Midas touch certainly seems to be working thus far in the post season. As for Perez, the problem I have with him is not necessarily his perpetual 0-4 nights; it's just he never seems to even get good outs. He barely makes contact on the ball, his swings look horrible, I have absolutely no confidence in his hitting ability. At least he had one chance to move Grandy to second. Ajax,

Neifi is just as much a Tiger as any of our other Tigers! granted, he has not done much at all since becoming a Tiger, but there is always a reason for things. Im sure that when called upon Perez will come through. GO NEIFI! GO TIGERS! don’t be shocked when Neifi Perez comes up with a huge game. he might not homer but i bet he has at least one huge hit in the game. somehow i can’t doubt Leyland here.

He only mentioned Santiago and Infante because they will fill in for Guillen when Guillen gets a day off. Just kidding. :) I hope.

Very small sample size of course (65 at-bats), so it's safe to say that's the low end of his ability. For the season he's .243/.260/.316, for a nifty .576 OPS. 8 walks in over 300 plate appearances. Career-wise he's .268/.298/.376, .674 OPS. One walk for every 22 or so at-bats. With the Tigers Perez checked in with .200/.235/.215 (one lone double and 3 walks).

Again, I'm usually much more analytical and objective about these things; but even being objective, we're forced to concede a huge hole in the lineup and average defense. I know we keep posting his NL numbers (.260 hitter)...can somebody post all his numbers with the Tigers this year, including OBP, slugging %, RISP, etc..?

Fans overreact to things. Knobler is overreacting to the fans. The overreaction is understandable, but he should be held to a higher standard as a professional journalist and tone his reaction down a bit. Definitely agree that Shelton should have been on the roster. No one could have predicted the injury, but you do have to account for the possibility. Plus the only reason I could have imagined for including three back-up infielders on the postseason roster was to have pinch runners late in close games. In that case, the most likely candidate to be pinch run for was Casey--so you'd still need a back-up first basemen. The only thing that irks me is hearing fans focus soley on the 5% of Leyland's decisions that have been questionable, while ignoring the 95% of things that have gone well this season. I suspect we'll hear less of that now with the Tigers on a four-game postseason winning streak. Agree with both Kurt and Lee.

I understand Knobler's frustration with them I just think a beat writer should use a more understaning tone with his audience even when he's blogging. Anyway, I agree with you on Shelton. He should be on the roster over Santiago. There is no need for 3 middle infielders and they could use Shelton right now. Even when slumping, he's a better hitter than Perez and he's a better first baeman than Guillen Kurt, no doubt some of the mlivers are annoying.

Not that he should, he should try to be above it, but I bet it's annoying. Frankly I think I'd rather see Neifi at first and Guillen at SS! Leyland can say what he wants, but letting your first baseman's injury break up your double-play combination doesn't strike me as a very good thing. And that is why the Tigers needed Shelton, who needs a designated hitter of his own. I think if you got assulted by the folks at MLive you’d get a little condenscending, too.

And we all agree Omar's the better hitter (because something is better than nothing). I'm really annoyed by JL doing this. I don’t think Perez is a better fielder.
