Tigers winning, Willis to start again, quick hits
Its been nice to see Detroit on a winning streak, though I haven’t had a chance to watch anything with the start of football season(s). Some quick hits:
- Willis to start next week, Garcia to start as well. I’m fearful of the Willis start and think its a bad idea. If things work out, you still have questions going into next spring. If he does poorly, its a disaster. Seems like its easier to just let him sit out the month.
- Chris Lambert still hasn’t shown much this year. I wonder if he would be a competent relief option.
- Not sure what to make out of Mike Hessman. If I were him, I’d call the SF Giants about a job for next year.
- I think Cabrera ends ups with 35+ home runs and 130+ RBIs. No one would have guessed that on July 1.
- A strong September will boost Magglio’s trade value. I think he stays. I don’t like his power numbers going down, but I imagine batting third all year next year will be a boost as well.
- Hoping Miner’s struggles are fatigue related.
- I bet Dusty Ryan and Dan Orlovsky are the most popular athletes in Detroit right now. Hope Ryan can play.
- Went to the Giants / Diamondbacks game last night. Tim Lincecum is the man. Maybe a draft mistake by Dombrowski taking Andrew Miller #6 in 2006 (Lincecum went #10).
