Jonathan Papelbon for Tigers Closer?
There is so much to like about the Tigers this year, a rival evaluator said earlier in the day — their rotation is outstanding, they have a really good offense and their outfield defense mitigates some of the problems created by their infield defense. The evaluator noted that in his team’s internal metrics the Tigers are the best team i [...]

“He’s not gonna get it!”
HOME RUN DON KELLY!
THREE RUN SHOT THAT WOULD BE THE WINNING RUNS FOR ROOKIE PITCHER JOSE ALVAREZ’S DEBUT!
The score was tied 1-1, and while listening on the radio with my brother and dad, the good karma soared through Comerica Park as we smashed open a 4-1 lead and final score.
The rookie look [...]
Indians Fall Short to Tigers 6-4

Abibal Sanchez Scratched; Jose Alvare...
Sanchez was scratched from Sunday’s start against the Indians due to shoulder stiffness, MLB.com reports.
Spin: Sanchez’s recent outings gave no indication of an impending injury, as he has posted at least eight strikeouts in six of his seven starts since May 1. In his absence, he will give way to Jose Alvarez, who will take the m [...]
Tigers Drafting Relief Help
20. Detroit Tigers: Jonathan Crawford | RHP, Florida
I think he’ll … eventually ends up a power arm working in a high-leverage role in a major league bullpen.

This one has been rumored for a while, and should come as no surprise. If you throw hard and you’re right-hand [...]
Yasiel Puig Is the Truth
I got so lucky and added him to my fantasy baseball team before this:
this:
this:
and this, tonight:
Can’t Take It No More
Sorry, Jose V.
I may have looked foolish defending you, but I know when to quit. And after that second solo shot in the 9th tonight, the time was upon us. No more. You are back to last year’s meltdown form, I’m sorry. You gotta go, and we need to acquire someone strong.
An otherwise dominant performance by the Detroit Tigers. Seve [...]

Tigers Need to National League It
We are the best in American League, we earned that. However, you saw us get blanked twice in the World Series, and I have a theory as to why.
We’ve got the power and the strikeout pitching, classic AL ball. But, we need to close out games and play small ball (aka manufacture runs via sacrifice flys, bunts, steals, etc.).
We are getting [...]

Relief did their job without surrendering a hit. Drew Smyly went 2 and 1/3 to close the g [...]
Al Avila on Miguel Cabrera
Tigers assistant GM Al Avila looks at Cabrera, whom he scouted as a teenager, and sees a guy “in the prime of his career, playing on a very good club that is totally focused on getting back to the World Series.” And this, Avila says, feels like pretty much the perfect place for this player, on the field and off.
“I believe M [...]
