Now that we're about a quarter of the
way into the season, it's a lot easier to
start judging teams based on what we've seen from them and their performance. When the Tigers started the season 0-7, it was easy to say that they sucked, but really, we ...
Well, someone has to pay for the lack
of pitching in Tiger Town. Popular finger pointing ,
however, goes past the teflon leader Jim Leyland and, rather, to one of his coaches: pitching coach Chuck Hernandez. Which, you know, isn’t real fair in ...

Progress reports from Lakeland on Joel Zumaya and
Fernando Rodney have Tigers manager Jim Leyland anticipating the
possibilities. Zumaya (right shoulder surgery recovery) and Rodney (right shoulder tendinitis), the eighth- and seventh-inning setup relievers, could be facing batters soon during their rehabilitation stints. "We're not going to rush them and get greedy," Leyland said ...
DETROIT -- The Tigers' new $153.3 million man
has not lived up to expectations. But that's not
to say he won't eventually. Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera, a four-time All-Star who was acquired in a December trade with the Marlins, sports a .252 ...
Jim Leyland got hands-on Tuesday in trying to
make Miguel Cabrera a better first baseman. Leyland supervised
a roughly 10-minute pregame drill in which Cabrera, positioned at first, took 35 throws generated by a machine placed at second base. Leyland, ...
Miguel Cabrera entered the weekend with a nine-game
hitting streak. After driving in just two runs in
his first 12 games as a Detroit Tiger, he had 20 RBIs in the next 16 games. Jim Leyland wants more, but only because the Detroit Tigers manager believes that Cabrera can do more. "I'm going to tell him that I want to see him bear down every single at-bat for one week, and show how good ...
According to Leyland, it came down to having
off days the next two Mondays. Because of that,
Justin Verlander was scheduled to start Wednesday at Kansas City with an extra day of rest, then would've had another extra day of rest before his next start. ...
Gary Sheffield looked like Gary Sheffield again Wednesday
night. He had three singles and pulled a scorching
liner foul. One good night does not a slump-breaker make, but it was a start for a hitter Tigers manager Jim Leyland needs in sync to make his batting order work. Leyland this week decided to move Sheffield from designated hitter to left field in an effort to get his bat going, ...
The first game was in Boston, and the
Detroit Tigers had a new first baseman with incredible
power, a new third baseman who would make too many errors and a great old manager who had a way with words. So here we are 18 years later. Cecil Fielder has become Miguel Cabrera. Tony Phillips is now Carlos Guillen. Sparky Anderson morphed into Jim Leyland. And, what do you know, the Red Sox are in ...
Sheffield is struggling at the plate. A bad
shoulder has hindered his start, a shoulder that was
surgically repaired in October. The swings, however, seem all out and their intensity looks like the Sheffield of old. The numbers, however, are not ...
I am sitting here trying to figure out
what the real story of last night’s game Boston
Red Sox vs Detroit Tigers game is. Is it Tim Wakefield’s 8 inning, 2-hit 6 strikeout performance? Or is it Big Papi and Manny having back-to-back jacks? Or is it Manny’s 497 home run of his career came on the first pitch of Freddy Pelosi’s MLB career. (
Why are the Detroit Tigers so bad? Should
they be demoted???? Check out what I have to
say.
As part of the lineup changes promised by
Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland, Gary Sheffield will move
to left field -- at Sheffield's request. Sheffield takes the spot of Jacque Jones, who was designated for assignment. "I'm a better baseball player than I am a DH, " Sheffield said prior to Monday night's game against the Boston Red Sox. Sheffield said he never got comfortable in the ...
As part of the lineup and roster shakeup
announced today, Sheffield will move to left field, replacing
Jacque Jones. Jones was designated for assignment, and Matt Joyce was called up from Triple-A Toledo to take his roster spot. Joyce is in the lineup in right field tonight, with Magglio Ordonez serving as the designated hitter. Ordonez won't be a full-time DH; Jim Leyland will probably use ...
The Detroit Tigers decided to designate left fielder
Jacque Jones for assignment, effectively ending his time with
the team, even with the $3 million still owed to him this season. To replace Jones on the roster, minor league outfielder Matt Joyce was called up from AAA-Toledo. According to manager, Jim Leyland, Joyce will spend time in both left and right. So where does, undefined position
For the second straight day, Jim Leyland promises
to make changes to the Tigers lineup.
Well not really, but they did drop Jacque
Jones. And if we are to believe Jim Leyland's
claim that the club is about to make 'drastic' changes, we should expect more.
Leyland said a drastic change to the line
up is coming. What about Sheffield to lead off
and Granderson to the middle of the order?
Editor's note: Story updated at 4:24 p.m. In
one change to their everyday lineup, the Tigers announced
today that they have cut outfielder Jacque Jones and purchased the contract of Matt Joyce from Triple-A Toledo. Jones, who was designated for ...

MINNEAPOLIS -- For the second straight night, the
