Sadly, all these changes have added up to more of the same. I'm guessing the Tigers will continue to keep an eye on Zumaya. If it looks like he's gonna be back for most of August-October, I bet they stand pat with what they have now. If not, they'll continue to be active in the trade market. I don't see them picking up scraps, they won't pick up guys who have been waived, no point in doing that. As of right now the Texas Rangers have been asking for Cameron Maybin in every trade offer with the Tigers, that's not going to happen (I hope).
Keep an eye on the Tigers over the next two weeks, the success or lack there of in their bullpen over that time period will say a lot about what direction they will head in. Right now the bullpen is killing them. Jason Grilli (left) has looked awful and so have many others, I won't go into all of that, it's too depressing. Relief pitching is really all the team is lacking.

Thank you for not talking about the Yankees again. I thought I was reading a blog by one of the sellout ESPN writers for a while. Also, I would like to see a piece about the correlation of Carlos Guillen errors and Tigers losses. He seems to have an error that costs the Tigers a win at least once a week.
Thanks Kenny. You're right, there was too much Yankee coverage here. I will do a little research on the Guillen errors.
Why is Craig Monroe even in the lineup at all? Marcus Thames is playing amazing and if given the chance I imagine he can be a .265 35hr 75 RBI guy. Thats more than we can say about Monroe.
Sellout ESPN writer? Hmmm...while initially offended by this comment, I think that if I have my own office in Bristol, CN with a weekly column about the Yankees that will be 283,745 times better than whatever you do Kenny.
As to Guillen, he is a crowd pleaser. He can get away with doing that stuff because they love him in Detroit. I have a feeling it is somewhat like what the Yankees went thru with Bernie Williams. Bernie was getting mighty old and way past his prime but they still put up with him. Guillen is a functional player. I'd say keep him in.
Actually Cousin Rob, I am a sellout ESPN Devil Rays writer.
