Interesting article, and BP is free this week

Eric notes the Tigers have a tougher go than their Central mates

Dayn Perry says the Tigers are the tops

Lee looks at the AL contenders

Cleveland is sinking some money into old League Park so it can be used by High Schools

Pretty much what the title says. The ISO overperformers are littered with Tigers

Thames homer was the longest of the day yesterday.

BA talks to scouts about the Future’s Game (sub. req) and Gorkys Hernandez got props for his speed: “He might be an 80 runner and covers good ground with good jumps and routes in center. He and Maybin are totally different with what they bring offensively

Lee updates on the Tigers Hall of Fame created at Motown Sports. This is a post I’ve been meaning to do, but Lee beat me to it. Check out who was inducted.

A nice profile of Placido Polanco

Bondo is still in 2nd. You’ve still got a few hours to Vote Bondo

Matching up the Tigers and Indians position by position. Nice primer for the upcoming series.

A detailed look at the 3-0 count. I love this pitch sequence data

yeah, yeah, big series and all. Note the sidebar article though where the Tigers have already sold 2.6 million tickets this year meaning that the club record of 2.73 is pretty much a lock to be broken.

All clear to begin throwing after meeting with his doc.

John Donovan profiles Maggs

If Sean Casey is considered the nicest guy in baseball, Mike Maroth may soon be the classiest guy. The outpouring of love for the guy is something to behold. And a nice debut will certainly help the Cards fans warm up to him. Go Mike!

Mike Maroth has a blog, who knew? (Hat tip mackavenuetigers.com and motownsports.com).

Glowing review of Rick Porcello’s mechanics

Nice profile on the Tigers other CF prospect.

Rave reviews for Maybin

Jason Karnuth has agreed to work with Toledo PD in brining criminal charges against Roman Colon. Awkward situation for the Tigers who would like to trade Colon, yet probably can’t when one of their own has filed a police report.

Lee provides some context for the Tigers individual extra base prowess this season

A detailed look comparing Ledezma and Macay McBride

Leyland also invites Ron Gardenhire and Ron Washington as coaches.

Comparing the offense’s actual performance against projections

Tigers fans should say a small thank you to Juan everyday for turning down that ridiculous contract

Roman Colon is a policy maker, this of course in the aftermath of the punching. Didn’t know this was the rule in the Tigers clubhouse as well, but not surprised given rumors of an altercation between Pudge and Gibby

He was their Jose Mesa

With Bonderman’s lopsided won-loss record this year, I was wondering to myself last night if he’s approaching .500 for his career – a lot of ground to make up in 2003. I never looked it up, but someone else did and Bondo is 53-53 lifetime now.

Get downtown at 6:30 tonight to make yourself heard – if you have opinions on the matter and think that the city will ever do anything with the stadium.

Former Tiger prospect Adam Pettyjohn is trying to get back to the majors. Neat story about a guy who wasn’t only battling for a job, but battling for his life.

Mike Maroth does a guest turn on The Weather Channel Thursday night

Lots of minor league roster shuffling. Chris Cody gets his chance against stiffer competition
