Bracket: No shortage of hated athletes.
from the freep

Welcome to our tournament to determine the most hated opposing athlete in Michigan.

The first round was marked by a couple of mild upsets, as Karl Malone was deemed more detestable than Teddy Dupay, and Terrelle Pryor was seen as more vile than Reggie Miller.

But this second round should really be something, with several intrasport matchups and the power pairing of LeBron James and Alex Rodriguez.

A bunch of bastards here.

Austin Jackson taking batting practice today. Plan is to get him running bases again sometime this week. So no rehab assignment imminent.

Leyland adjusts Smyly's bullpen role.
DETROIT -- Drew Smyly moved into the bullpen at the end of Spring Training to stay in the big leagues as a long-relief specialist. It was a way to keep his arm in shape if he ever needed to return to the rotation.

Now Smyly is making another move in the bullpen, this time toward late innings because of his ability to get hitters out from both sides of the plate. Manager Jim Leyland has been pairing Smyly with Phil Coke in late innings to shake lineups filled with hitters from both sides of the plate.

With four relievers under the age of 27, Leyland is hoping to see more consistency.
"It's not like we have an established guy down there like a [Octavio] Dotel that has been through the wars and you pretty much know what you are going to get," Leyland said. "With kids and grandkids, we don't know."

Smyly is the only reliever with more than six innings on the mound to have an ERA of under 3.00 against hitters from both sides of the plate. He has thrived in the bullpen, dropping his ERA of 4.30 against right-handed hitters last year as a starter to 2.84 this season. He has held right-handed hitters to a .260 batting average, and left-handed hitters have fared much worse, mustering only a .100 batting average against him.

"That's why I keep stressing that a lefty has to get a righty out up here," Leyland said, "and a righty has to get a lefty out. If they can't, that makes it difficult."

Although Coke works to cut down the .343 batting average that right-handed hitters have against him, Leyland says he is more than just a lefty-lefty specialist.

"Cokey should be," Leyland said, "because he has the changeup and plenty enough fastball with a breaking ball to get a right-hander out."

Running still a problem for recovering Jackson.
DETROIT -- Austin Jackson has resumed taking batting practice and shagging fly balls in center field, but he's not close enough yet on his running to make a Minor League rehab assignment.

Jackson, who has been on the 15-day disabled list since May 12 with a pulled left hamstring, felt soreness after running the bases at 80 percent speed on Friday in Baltimore. He hasn't run the bases since, and he didn't do anything on the Tigers' off-day on Monday, which he said helped ease the soreness.

The plan, head athletic trainer Kevin Rand said on Tuesday, is for Jackson to start running the bases again sometime this week.
Jackson will need at least a few games of a rehab assignment to get his timing back at the plate and see fly balls in game situations before rejoining the Tigers. Add the steps together, and a return seems unlikely until next week, at the earliest.

With Jackson out, Avisail Garcia is getting the bulk of the starts in center field.
"Garcia's been doing well. We've been playing him ahead of [Don] Kelly a little bit," Leyland said on Monday, "because he's accounted for himself OK and Donnie hasn't hit much."
