After finishing the 3 game sweep of the Royals, the Tigers continue to hold the best record in baseball over the last 40+ games going 28-13. Coming back from the dead they have picked up quite a few games over the last couple month and only train in the division by 5.5 games behind the White Sox.
Now it is time to decide if they are actually going to be buyers in the trade market. Many speculate that Edgar Renteria will be hiring moving services in the coming weeks as he has been horrid since joining the team at the beginning of the year.
Most believe that we could use another reliable starting pitcher. Armando Galaraga has filled in nicely for the Tigers this season, although he was not expected to be a big help. HE jsut finished off a perfect game bid that lasted into the 7th inning.
Zach Miner has been given the nod as the 5th starter for the time being. Miner has had his ups and downs this year in the bullpen. In fact he was probably responsible for more than half the bullpens runs allowed in the first month or two. He looked at home in this first start of the year by shutting down the Royals on Monday, however.
We can just wait and see. Dombrowski never shows his hand so we can only speculate at this point, and there really isn't a whole lot out there to grab onto. Jack Wilson's name popped up again, although there is no way we trade for that scrub. Can't believe his name is ever brought up actually. the guy is trash. Other than that there isn't a whole lot of news on the subject.
