Comments on: When PTBNL becomes P and other roster moves http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2007/08/when-ptbnl-becomes-p-and-other-roster-moves/ News, views, and analysis on the Detroit Tigers and baseball Sat, 20 Mar 2010 17:11:17 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Robyn http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2007/08/when-ptbnl-becomes-p-and-other-roster-moves/#comment-68274 Robyn Tue, 04 Sep 2007 23:26:08 +0000 http://www.detroittigersweblog.com/2007/08/when-ptbnl-becomes-p-and-other-roster-moves/#comment-68274 Am I the only one who is baffled by Leyland's recent obsession with Guillen at first and Casey on the bench? What is wrong with him? Our All Star shortstop is playing first while our first baseman, who is having a strong season, sits on the bench and Ramon Santiago is at short? It almost seems like he has given up on any chance of the playoffs. Oh, and tonight, while Casey sits on the bench, Omar Infante is DH. Also, why isn't Brandon Inge being sat with his recent hitting woes? This is insane! Am I the only one who is baffled by Leyland’s recent obsession with Guillen at first and Casey on the bench?

I ain't sure how much more pitching Kenny will be able to do and Sheffy too, ain't good and I worry about them two. If Maybin works out it'll be good to add that much more speed on the bases but Maybin doesn't throw the energy into the game that Grandy does, or that Pudge does, or Sheffy don'tcha just love this game? only bad thing is they are starting that ugly game up again which calls all those penalties and we'll have to fight the bartender about the tv everyone just hold onto your bats here. we have some team building to do.

But Leyland just overvalues the wrong guys playing it. I don’t know if you can ever overvalue defense. But Leyland just overvalues the wrong guys playing it.

He just might like how Casey digs out Guillen's repeated throws in the dirt and doesn't think Shelton is up to the task. But Thames, Shelton, and Infante are all in that good hitter, suspect defense camp, and Leyland probly figures he can't DH everybody.

Their season is over anyway, so getting another look at him shouldn't be a big problem. It seems to me Shelton fits in the Maroth/Thames/Infante category- players Leyland doesn't seem to want to give a chance to. The Tigers really should give Shelton a chance.

Therefore I was wondering if anybody knows if there is a more recent version of the book "The 995 Tigers" that was published early in the 80s. I guess all of this information is available somewhere on the web, but I am old fashioned and like to have a book for quick reference.

Does Leyland just not like him, like Chris Spurling [2-1/4.91/1.63] (who, incidentally, may have helped a bit over the past few months of bullpen problems)? Has he pissed someone off or do they just feel that he hasn't regained his stroke? Has anyone heard or read anything more on the Shelton situation?
