In the event that he ends up being the real deal, I'd like to see him pitching down the stretch rather than in April.

Not many may agree, but so far, I think Leyland has managed the pitching staff quite well.

And the organization has stated that Porcello is a starting pitcher no matter what. This saves a few innings on his arm early in the season. I'd love to see Bonderman back in mid May or early June healthy, that could be a big boost. Any body seen any thing on his status lately?

It is and should be seen as a demotion of sorts. Or at least that is the way he is going to take it, it is how Nate has. Although, Miner hasn't lately (in quotes) seemed as upset as Nate did at the end of this past Spring Training. Reliever, starter…whats the dif besides workload?

This has more to do with Miner's experience as a relief pitcher then a "demotion".

That said, I wouldn't be shocked if it meant it was a demotion of Miner. I feel like he's slept with someone's wife with the way he's been handled by the Tigers.
