The Tigers have been playing with a DH that probably should be lanced. Neat lineup. Polanco number 3. I like it. “In this game, you give 100 percent, but you don’t feel 100 percent every day.”

Cabrera isn't going back to 3B. You'll see Inge in there when Guillen DHs, then Guillen at 3B when Larish DHs. And sometimes Cabrera as DH and Larish at 1B.

Cabrera at 3B? Hmmm. Is it possible that Larish might not even start? It's not that I wouldn't want him to, and I know Inge doesn't hit Santana, but I'm trying to anticipate the oddball move. Probably after the fact. Good news, interesting news. Cabrera at 3B? Hmmm. Is it possible that Larish might not even start?

If Caberra can paly 3rd, then this is fine, but if not, where does Larish fit in if Guillen is DH?? We have kind of plugged the gap in left with Thomas and Joyce in the short term, but what is the long term solution? How about Hessman at 3rd, Larrish at 1st, and alternate Guillen and Caberra between Left and DH? Can either of them cover enough ground to play out there? This is a move they should have made a while ago.

It's not at all suprising. Larish has been pretty much as hot as Hessman, but the advantage with Larish is that he bats left handed. If he can somehow light it up like he has for Toledo, it could very well be the spark that gets this offense out of it's funk. And if that happens, then there is no way Larish goes back down to Toledo... We'll see “Is it surprising they called up Larish and not Hessman?”

I'm not surprised they picked him over Hessman, I think you know what you get with Hessman, but Larish is an unknown for the most part. Plus he's a lefty bat. I think a lot of folks around here will be pleased to see Guillen DHing for a spell (myself included). Inge, despite all his shortcomings offensively, belong on the field at 3b.
