Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version
We've seen beginner's luck with Chris Shelton, but assuming Berry doesn't fall into the abyss soon, what happens when Jackson comes back? With Berry's productivity they'd be stupid to send him back down. The problem is that outfield is getting crowded, and there's only one DH spot for Boesch and Delmon. Do you take Dirks out? Start platooning Boesch, Delmon and Dirks between the field and DH?

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version
A month ago, we were wondering if we had enough outfielders.
Actually, the one I would get rid of is Don Kelly. Danny Worth can play any infield position, allegedly, and we'd have 5 outfielders. Kelly is not giving us anything offensively. For some strange reason they're still toying with the Ryan Raburn Debacle, so I doubt he's going anywhere soon. That leaves Kelly. Berry can be a pinch-runner, provide someone a day off in the outfield, and could be an honest late-inning defensive replacement.
Now watch. We'll send Berry back down, and we'll tromp along with two guys (Raburn & Kelly) that are hitting about as well as a crippled billygoat.

The only thing Kelly has going for him is that he's the emergency catcher. I only remember the EC being used once in the last five years, but I suppose you always need one on the roster.

Personally, I would like em to see if Berry can play second base.
Well, if God Forbid something happens to Avila and Laird in the same game, its not like you could exactly have Leyland point to the fat guy in the front row and have him say, "Hey you with the pretzels, get in there!!", and have that guy able to catch a upper 90's fastball.

Leyland and Lamont gone. Brookens now at 3rd, Belliard at 1st. Danny Worth over slid the bag, then got back in time but the ump called him out anyway.

Right, we're getting screwed. This is going to be a long day or a short day for the Tigers, I'm not sure which yet.
