I'm going to assume you mean Brent Dlugach. He'll be a september call-up anyways, and usually it's best not to entirely rely on rookies and youngsters in a pennant race. We're already relying on quite a few of them this year, but there is something to be said for experience. Who the heck is Duglish? I’m going to assume you mean Brent Dlugach.

The best thing that could happen is Everett getting hurt because Leyland isn't going to change anything unless a guys is completely inept for 3-4 months min, usually a full year. Everett qualifies for 4 months but I just dont' see it being enough for smokey to change on his own. I was all over getting Scutaro but now I would be happy with a Duglish/ Santiago platoon. The best thing that happened to the Tigers so far this year was Zumaya getting hurt otherwise our record these past 18 would be below 500. Acually I am suprised he didn't start Nate or D-train more, I guess he is making some progress.
