I forgot that TSFG is a switch hitter. Either Timo or The Speedy Freddy Guzman will make the team for the reasons I mentioned before. I forgot that TSFG is a switch hitter.

Grandy being out leaves a void for A) an outfielder and B) a left handed hitter. Can you think of anyone who fits that description? I’d say this injury is advantage Timo Perez, no?

Advantage, Inge. Problem I foresee is Inge himself getting hurt playing center. At least while he was playing 3rd base there was only the occassional dive into the concrete for a foul ball -- at center I see potential for a whole lot of foolhardy Ingeness -- diving for balls, slaming into the wall, etc. I could be wrong, but Inge strikes me as that kid on the block whose parents wanted to put a helmet on every time he walked out of the house. If he gets hurt, we'll never be able to trade him, and he will even be more unhappy. I wish we'd play Raburn. What about Guzman? I'm sure there is no room for him on the 25 man roster -- but I wonder is there is any creative way for him to get some playing time while Granderson is on the DL...

He has a similar swing to Ryan Braun of Milwaukee. Too bad we got Jaque Jones... Personally, I like Ryan Raburn as an everyday player. He has a similar swing to Ryan Braun of Milwaukee.

And missing a week or so of the regular season isn't so bad. Personally I like Raburn to be out there. Happy Easter and Go Tigers.

Both Inge and Raburn can sub for anyone. One will take Center, and the other will sub in for a different guy everyday. A Raburn makes the tigers very versatile as far as positions go.
