Go watch the Sheffield vs Folger Cremora brawl video again, and watch for Larish and Ryan. I think Dusty lost his lock on the job due to the intangibles of said performance. And they want to redo the rookie day thing and make him wear the Peter Pan outfit this time.

Inge on the other hand not only took down Martinez hard, but even got him so mad that Polanco was ejected.

(Larish looked to be in duck-n-cover mode, but it may be he was just trying to keep the ill-fitting hat on his head)

I'll be giggling for a good fifteen minutes! Can it possibly true the Tigers hired this Hooker dude who’s used to working down under (Australia) to handle the Pacific Rim?

They were also looking at Larish, but decided the ill-fitting batting helmet didn't project the professional look befitting a front office guy.

It’s premium content, but today he looked at the catchers and first baseman and the report on Alex Avila was glowing." I'm worried thoug that between assistant GM duties and Catching Avila may be getting spread too thin... “Mark Anderson of Tigstown.com was on hand to take in some of the Instructional League action and filed daily reports.

Of course, Dombrowski could just be protecting him from the frustration of having to work for Lincoln and Armstrong. I had a similar thought about the GM job being in Avila’s lap in a couple years.
