Tigers on rough stretch; lineup changes?

Freep talks about possible lineup changes to get more speed into the lineup.  Inge and Raburn to get more playing time?

I’m waiting to see the lineup changes for today’s afternoon game in Minny.  The easiest lineup change is to just shuffle the lineup — move Pudge (or Inge at catcher) up in the lineup… or drop Jacque Jones altogether and move his replacement up :).

I really don’t know how the team can continue to counter their power-hitting (yet slow) lineup.  A radical thought?  Move Granderson down to the three spot.  Renteria to lead off??  Not sure if Detroit has a ‘typical’ leadoff batter anyway.  But Granderson would give them some speed further down the lineup.  Probably won’t happen, but what options do they have at this point?

Ex-tiger Chris Shelton was called up for the Rangers this week, after scorching AAA.  He homered last night against the A’s..
