I guess it was easier then most of us thought… keep Thames, dump Gary Sheffield.  Obviously a surprise move (and it just about invalidated a post I did not 12 hours earlier), I totally agree with it.  Just did not see it coming.

Upon hearing the news, I assumed there was still a chance that Thames gets cut or traded — based on Detroit’s financial decisions as well as how they feel about Carlos Guillen’s play in left field — but this article seems to clear it all up.  Marcus on the team; rotating door at DH.  This also clears the way for more at-bats for lefty Jeff Larish; I bet he’ll get a few starts at third with a ‘defensive’ substitution in the sixth inning with Inge.

Do you think Sheffield had a long stare down with Jeff Larish as he walked out the door?

Kudos to you Mr. Dombrowski.  I also suggest everyone order a lot of Little Caesars this week.
