But at the same time I don't think Santiago is substantially better than Perez, and the Tigers are paying Perez regardless. If Raburn had a good enough glove to play the infield, he'd be up already.

He is better than Neifi defensively and offensively. Hooper is not as good defensively, but is a much better offensive player. -Sam Actually,

A total dud. At this point, even though I don't really want to see Miller up here, I would much much rather see us bring him up than watch a terrible Neifi. Heck Ryan Raburn is has been tearing it up in Toledo, and hes about 26, lets see what he can do with extended playing time up at the show. I like how Mario gives him praise when he makes a routine play, or fouls off pitches right down the middle. I happen to agree with all the Neifi bashers.

Perez has 28 bb's in his last 720 ab's. That's one walk every 29 ab's. That's I-Rod territory. I hear Billfer that he's the 25th guy, but the 25th guy should get more hits than a National League pitcher. This is the American League. Is .220 and a .290 oba, too much to ask for from the 25th guy? When we're congratulating a guy for one hit in a series, a long at-bat, and a groundout that's not good. T Smith: Whaaat???

We were a bit naive to think we could get into a game by buying a ticket at the gate. I remember they were sold out all season long (and for some time thereafter if memory serves me right). Cool pics. My friends and I tried going to a game there the first year it was open. We were a bit naive to think we could get into a game by buying a ticket at the gate.

Your comment about there being more Tigers fans in attendance this year as opposed to 2002 was something I noticed as well. If you watched any of the highlights on MLB.com, you could hear a good number of cheers for good plays by the Tigers, which I was surprised to see. Nice post Bilfer.

As the last player off the bench, the only real problem with Neifi is the $2.5 million we're paying him, which I guess is preferable to the $2.5 million we'll be paying Jose Mesa to sit at home for the rest of the year.

If he's gonna be an instant out, let's at least try to get 8 pitches out of the at-bat, or a walk. I do a lot of Neifi bashing -- but I agree, as the absolute last guy on the bench, he's filling a specific role. Does anybody know if Guillen/Inge will be back tonight?
