Albeit a small one, Detroit sweeps Minnesota in a 2 game series. Baby steps.
Thoughts:
- Gary Sheffield gives me the big F-U on his injuries by homering. Or did he – Possible injury? (Reported here and here)
- Its nice for Miguel Cabrera to start breaking out, and it has to be nice for him to do it at home. I wonder what it feels like doing this in Detroit vs Miami, where the crowds were much more… sparse.
- Guillen continues to murder the ball.
- Pudge walks again. Worth mentioning, since he only walked 9 times last year… and he’s on pace to walk nearly 33 times. Ok, thats pretty much useless information.
- Raburn gets another defense replacement inning in left. Apparently he’s never played left before. How bad is Jacque Jones and Marcus Thames defensively? And would either have gotten near the snowcone almost-catch Raburn attempted (ruled a clean triple)? Kind of bizarre.
- Speaking of bizarre, Jimmy Leyland mentioned Clete Thomas might have a place on the team in a platoon situation, which I assume means left field. Is he serious, or is that a wake up call to Jones?
