7-3 since Austin Jackson returned, but it's been against some crappy teams. They have a 10 game road trip coming up at Pit, Texas and Tampa. Hopefully they don't win more than 4 on that trip.
I watch a ton of Tigers baseball. They are terrible.

Right now, you'd have to say the Tigers are still the favorites.
If they can keep Fister healthy and get Smyly back from the blister, and get Avila back 100%, they're going to be a tough out...no matter how bad Valverde's been pitching.
However, if Peavy keeps pitching like this and the team starts to fall out of, you see what you can get for him and use the 2nd half to audition virtually everyone in AA/AAA for next season.
That also gives you a better idea of what to do with Gavin Floyd.
I do? They are awful. The worst defense I've seen in years.
They need to deal for Matt Dominguez. He's 23, in AAA, and a former 1st round pick that is blocked by Hanley. He's elite defensively and has potential to hit at least at a servicable level in the bigs.

Gavin needs to ditch the damn cutter.
Just saw the Tigers are looking into acquiring Quentin & the Tribe have their eyes on Soriano since Damon is stinking up the joint.
We need to get this rotation fixed going forward if we want to stay in this race throughout the summer.
Not happening and not happening.

Throwing them isn't a problem, controlling how they break and where they go seems to be the issue.
Wonder if Coop will come out yelling at some point again haha
If he stays up with everything = trouble. Even against the Astros.

I was cringing as he did that back flip. Like the fact that he'll have a plus outfield arm. Not sure if he can stay in CF, but I think Mitchell will be there, so hopefully that power continues to develop and we see him in RF for a long time. The dude is strong.
Plus arm. Best in the system already. Projects to RF IMO
