There are a few Tigers i would wave good-bye too if i were calling the shots. Its time to quit fooling around and clean house. The Tigers have a great core and plenty to build around. I'll make a list if anyone is interested.
First, ide start with the head of the snake - the coaching staff. Clean house! Ausmus, Lamont and Wally got to go. They lead the Tigers to 12 games below .500. I'll save the pitching staff for last... Positional players and DH's that i would say good bye too... Anthony Gose, Andrew Romine, Rajai Davis - right off the top off my head and throw in Avilla... it's McCann time. Pitchers that bug me... and could do better elsewhere. Might surprise a few, but Alburquerque is trying my patients and in my opinion the Tigers have waited too long with him to find his groove. Simon - see ya! Ryan, Wolf and Rondon have been nothing short of tripple 'A' material. Greene and Gorzelany - good bye. Feliz, Farmer and Valdez = a Joke. ___________________________________ Basically the only pitchers worth a damm right now are Verlander and Wilson. The entire staff is worn out. I couldnt list every detail for every player or i would be here till October, but if anyone has a specific question on a player or two i mentioned, please ask. The pitching staff is the achillies hill and the decision making at the top are my two main concerns. The Tigers are fine offensively, but have given up nearly 700 runs so far - their lucky to have 60 wins. ps - i love them to death tho, just need some big changes im afraid, not this nilly, dilly, nit picking we are witnessing.
interesting, let me give this some thought. I was kind of saving my offseason plan for November or so but I think I can add some to this. good stuff Will

Tigers win (all too rare these days) over the Indians by a score of 6-0. Alfredo Simon has a strong performance - moving to 12-9 on the season. And not that it matters much but...

http://www.deadlinedetroit.com/arti...ts_analyst_hears_a_clock_ticking#.VeupsyVViko Q1. Do you believe it will happen - that Brad Ausmus is out after the season? Q2. If Brad Ausmus is out - is this a good thing? Q3. If Brad Ausmus is out - who replaces him?

It was a classic at the start... JV was dealing, but once again no offense. A pitchers dual that went wrong... tough loss again for JV who has been fantastic his last 8 starts.
Ever since the dominant versus dominate discussion between you and Lulz, I have been looking at grammar more closely. I believe you meant duel instead of dual. P.S. Since you are very likely more accomplished in English, please let me know if it is "bad form" to correct my "English Better."
