Pending a decision at season's end by Scherzer, we are 5 deep at starting pitch:

Scherzer, Price, Sanchez, Porcello and [[at the back of the rotation?) Verlander.

Price is a lefty [[Smyly too). Ray becomes the 2nd ranked lefty on the Tigers.

Jackson was a piece in the Scherzer/Jackson/Coke/Scheraith[[sp) trade.

Smyly was home grown and Adames is apparently one our top Caribbean signing program jewels [[he is only 18 and playing low A ball).

We trade pieces of our system but look at what we get back. Dombrowski gets it done.

And yes, Ilitch is a great owner. Dombrowski best President, GM, etc. in MLB.
