Another game and another game blown by our bullpen.

Just some notes:

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3532016 <-- Sheffield is supposedly on waivers. Those 2 HR's he hit certainly don't hurt his trade value Wink

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3531795 <-- Garcia has been signed and Willis was promoted to AAA. I guess it wouldn't hurt giving Garcia a shot in the bullpen.

Edit: Oh wait, all this has been posted, my bad Laughing

Well at least Miner looked good again, albeit against a bad hitting Toronto team.

I dont see Sheff clearing waivers or really anybody else, we should just keep the team we got now andat least give it a try, for the sake of dignity, and deal with all the problems in the offseason.

24 of 44 in save chances. Pathetic.

Just heard on ESPN Firsttake we MIGHT have placed a claim on Jared Washburn. Idk what this means but maybe Dombrowski hasn't quit on this season yet after all?

Another outstanding outing by Armando today! What a gem this guy has been in an otherwise disappointing season.

This guy should get some serious consideration for ROY.

If the Tigers finish the season 81-81 where will we be drafting?

Anyone else see that Robertson was demoted to the bullpen Surprised

I wonder who will be called up, it's been confirmed it WON'T be Willis. Whew.
Maybe Chris Lambert?

Btw, Cabrera is finally showing why we gave up 6 prospects for him. It might have taken some time to get use to the AL pitchers, but he will not be a bust for us Very Happy

I really don't know how you fix the Tigers for next year.

On paper they should have had very capable pitching but as we have seen both the starters and bull pen have as a group failed.

It seems incredible that Bonderman and Verlander were so inconsistent this year. Willis totally collapsed. Jones, Zumaya and Rodney could all have control issues. All in the same year.

Whatever DD does in the off season he really needs to find some pitching solutions. Heading into next year with this staff is another recipe for disaster.

Another strong outing by Miner. If he gets one more quality start, he should seriously get strong consideration for a starting spot last year.
