It's being reported everywhere that Brad Ausmus is the Tigers' choice for manager. Unconfirmed, but it seems true. Interestingly, Wikipedia says that he was announced yesterday as the new manager. If true, Wikipedia has trumped all traditional media...

Ausmus seems like a solid choice except that he has not managed in either big or minor leagues. But he seems smart and tuned in to the game. Plus, he is very handsome, which is an unexpected boost for gay baseball fans such as myself. I don't think Los Tigres need major changes, just some fine tuning [[I think the bullpen is the current weakest link).

I hope we're in the hunt next October. Good luck Brad Ausmus!
