It's just too logical of a move to make.

It would nice to have some additional power to throw out there against tough righties. Between Joyce, Larish and Sheffield there should be plenty of at-bats at DH and left (with Sheff and Joyce handling the field). What I'd really like to see is the Tigers dump Santiago, trade Thames and bring up Larish and Hollimon, who could platoon some with Renteria. Hollimon played ss last year quite a bit and he hits righties very well (this year 920 OPS; last something similar). And Larish is killing righthanded pitching, with an OPS over 1000.

He's 278/369/563 right now and he's left-handed. I know he plays 1B, but he could always DH. What is the over/under date for when Larish gets called up?
