I think even swap positions with him and Nate. If not then you got to dump Nate some how. DUde just don't have it. He wasn't very good last year. He is even worse this year. I mean it is evident Verlander and Gallaraga. Hopefully Willis can Keep working all winter and can be back. But the rest of the rotation.

Also, pitching this season is a good thing, but it's only a small smapling of what he is going to be like. For the most part, so far, so good.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-18384033810779157342008-08-20T18:44:00.000-04:002008-08-20T18:44:00.000-04:00Sandy Gohlston,Yeah, that fake recruitment is a cl...Sandy Gohlston,<BR/>Yeah, that fake recruitment is a classic example of what is wrong. The dynamics have changed, but not for the better. But fans better get used to it.

Hope he figures it out before its too late and he has one of those, "Could have been" careers.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-54670219860217411962008-08-20T17:02:00.000-04:002008-08-20T17:02:00.000-04:00You would know best Pat, by Zumaya's action from w...You would know best Pat, by Zumaya's action from what we hear he acts like a starter. Let him bull his way for 6 innings plus one out every five days. Hopefully it is true Ryan Perry will be ready to close next year but it seem like a big jump. He has a better shot of being a 7th inning guy next year. Perry's 5 BB in 7 innings might mean he need time to harness his control.

This flip-flopping on recruiting commitments is a sign of the times. Kids make decisions, back out of it, make different decisions and so on and so forth.

It should only be done after taking away his motorcycle license.<BR/><BR/>He's not shown himself to be a guy you can depend on. And for that reason alone - putting Zumaya in the rotation would not make me - as a typical fan - feel like the Tigers were making Fred Brillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731385357714489031noreply@blogger.com
