Will Carroll continued his positional health reports series and in today’s installment, he talks about starting pitchers.  The only Tiger he had comments on today was Justin Verlander who gets a red light because of his work load last year and his pitching style.  The red light doesn’t neccesarily guarantee that Verlander will get injured in 2007, it just means he has a very high risk of getting injured.  Several red lights go through the season without getting injured but I hope Jim Leyland keeps Verlander on a tight leash in 2007, maybe giving him an extra day off here and there, to keep his workload down.
