Leyland’s “Drastic” changes
Weak. Jim Leyland gets everyone’s hopes up for a ‘drastic’ change the the lineup… and merely swaps Guillen for Sheffield. His promise that no one would lose their job resulted in Jacque Jones heading to the unemployment line. I’m guessing that next time Cabrera gets a day off, Leyland will call it a “monumental shift in the direction of the Detroit Tigers”.
Big news: Gary “I can’t stay healthy when i play in the field” Sheffield will get some playing time in the outfield, tonight in left. Apparently he requested it. This must have been the reason that Jacque Jones kept playing, he just ‘requested’ to remain in the lineup.
