Quick Hit: Why the Tigers Can't Sit Still?

June 27th, 2010 | Brian

I’m going to open this up to the readers.Â The Tigers are in a virtual tie for first place, but I swear they’re making moves like a team in panic mode.Â I’m not arguing with a lot of the moves, but does anyone ever remember a good team shuffling key members of the team back and forth like the Tigers have?

I agree the number of moves has been unusual, but I wouldn’t call it panic mode. I do get the feeling there is pressure from Illitch to win, and that they may be making moves quicker than usual for that reason. I think the moves have been the right ones though.

No, I don’t remember a good team making these kinds of moves. DFAing their starting/platooned SS and a starting pitcher. Then sending their starting 2B to the minors along with 2 of who most thought would be their 2nd and 3rd best starting pitchers. Yeah, a lot of moves.

I’m good with it though. They are in the hunt and that’s all a fan could want.

Yeah, it looks like we’re all in agreement. We can’t argue the moves, but it’s just plain odd for a team in contention. Hopefully things will settle down here up until the trade deadline so we know what we have and what we need.
