Leyland took a team that was 2nd/3rd place team in July to the team with the biggest lead in their division in all MLB. They have mastered deficit-comebacks to win ??? many games and are now a team that NY respects if not fears. If Leyland and the coaches go with Valverde, why question that? They know what they are doing. I don't know how he turned the team around exactly but the current Tigers are not the July Tigers for sure. And please God, no injuries for a few weeks...
