An update on four of the fallen Tigers and their progress: Joel Zumaya Jim Leyland said that if everything goes right Joel Zumaya could join the team on the next west coast swing when they get to San Diego, which is Zumaya’s hometown.

27.05.2008 17 comments

Gary Sheffield’s oblique strain suffered in last night’s game has landed him on the disabled list. Jeff Larish has been called up and is jetting to LA for tonight’s game. He won’t be DH’ing though.

Leyland abandons logic in Sheffield mess

15.05.2008 35 comments

12.01.2008 21 comments

Dave Dombrowski has some advice for Brandon Inge’s best friend: “If I was Brandon Inge’s best friend,” said Dombrowski, “I’d tell him ‘you should catch.’ I say that, not thinking he can’t play third, but because to me, this guy can be an All-Star catcher. Pointed words to be sure and you can dispute his [...]
