Pat, believe or not Sanchez was my second choice behinds Shields because of his strikeouts. The Tigers need strikeout pitchers not contact pitchers due to the lack of range on some parts of the infield. Like you say Omar can play 2B and SS and not hurt you in the field. Turner will probably make to the MLB but like JL says he needs more time. The knock against Turner is he does strikeout a lot of players. This a great time to sell, I wonder what DD could get for Porcello and Boesch?
Infante is back? What's next Randy smith coming back, brining Brad Ausmus with him?
