2012 Detroit Tigers Talk

[Thruster315]

Are Leyland and Raburn lovers?

I think Raburn must have uncompromising nudie photos of Leyland in order to stick around here so much. Seriously playing Raburn screams so loudly of our lack of player development. You'd think there would be someone down in Toledo who could step up to the bigs and hit .175.

That sad fact falls solely on Dombrowski.

He also claims to draft all of these power arms and yet how come every off season we're out getting relievers in free agency. Where's the player development???

This is a far cry from Ilitch's other franchise [[the Red Wings) where they draft well and can actually groom them to step up into the majors. The Wings players coming up are nearly over ripe whereas the Tigers, the cupboards are butt bare.

And .500 tonight? About time.

And not meaning to be a Negative Nellie all the time about this team, props go out to Drew Smyly for pitching one heckuva Verlander-esque game yesterday. He had the strike zone sizzling and confounding the KC hitters. Personally I think the strike one was a little generous but who the hell am I watching on a TV set and one to argue Fox Sport Trax or whatever that graphic is.
