I like the look of the Roster actually.. but what happened to Rincon..he isn't listed anywhere on the Tiger site or 25 or 40 man roster 6 different bullpen pitchers and three different starting pitchers from last year opening day..At least they are trying.Perry will succeed and Porcello will be able to go back down if Bondo makes it back.

At this point, it will probably depend on the situation and who is healthy. It would have been so nice if we had gotten JJ Putz.....no more wondering. Ryan Perry looks like a real winner, though and I'm trying to have more faith in Rodney and Lyon. Well, I’d have to agree with you, rings, on the closer by committee.

Lyon it Todd Jones-lite, but with a clean 9th inning to get three outs, will probably succeed more often than not. Rodney has trouble with those one inning save opps, but can enter and get a K in a tough situation. Perry is obviously the most talented, and will likely end up getting the pressure roles - the Zumaya role in '06 - before long, but will get a chance to get his feet wet first.

Could his remarks given Justin an anxiety attack and made him lose his concentration and figure "why bother". Just curious.
