Alex Avila quietly 289/352/470 since the ASB. Andy Dirks 299/379/436 since the break,

 

[kalinecountry]

Splits since June 1: Fielder 275/338/435, Martinez 330/386/471, Hunter 290/314/481, Jackson 280/357/450, Infante 357/371/513

Omar Infante has a .352 wOBA, which is 5th among qualified 2B. His 120 wRC+ ranks 5th as well. Huge year.

Jose Iglesias is hitting 297/343/406 since joining Tigers. He has 30 hits. 7 of those are infield and bunt hits.

2012 Fister had trouble with LHB surrendering 734 OPS vs 613 to RHB.
This year, it's reversed. 252/305/356 vs LHB, 308/358/405 vs RHB.

Batters are 296/309/585 vs Smyly since the break. Before the break, 197/252/275.
Really important to get him right again.

Appearances have taken it's toll Ron. He may be running out of gas. Sometimes increasing that many games-work plays more havoc on a young arm than innings pitched.

Smyly worked in a career high 30 games in 2012. He's on-track to appear in 60 games in 2013.

I sure hope he comes out of this season without all the aftereffects of his first entire year in a bullpen.

I have been wondering if he is either dealing with a dead arm period, or hiding/pitching through an injury...

After 24 consecutive stolen bases off Detroit pitching, the Tigers slowed down the running game to an extent against Kansas City, throwing out two would-be basestealers in four attempts. One of those steals came on a pitchout when catcher Brayan Pena couldn't handle the throw.

They won't face quite as aggressive of a baserunning team the next few days, but manager Jim Leyland was encouraged from what he saw from his pitchers.

"I think we did a good job," Leyland said. "We're conscious of it. Sometimes they just get hung up on throwing to the plate and they forget about [the runner]. That's something that we focused on a little better this weekend. We did a pretty good job of it, really."

Some of that, Leyland said, was as simple as varying pickoff moves and varying when to throw over.

"You've got to have different variations -- hold the ball, don't hold the ball, go quicker, hold the ball longer, step off [the mound]," Leyland said. "The thing is, you can't get in a situation where once you come set, you never throw over.

"A lot of times, we throw over on the way up or throw over real quick. That sometimes serves a purpose if you can get a guy who's just taking a lead, because he gets caught leaning. But other times, once you come set, you've still got to throw over. But we did a pretty good job this weekend with it."

Tigers limited in rehab options for Peralta.
The Tigers have yet to make a decision on a possible return for suspended shortstop Jhonny Peralta, team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski said again Monday. Next week, however, could provide an initial sign.
If they're going to get Peralta ready for a return, the prep work is going to come pretty soon.
By the rules of Peralta's 50-game suspension, he's eligible to begin a rehab assignment in about a week. However, the Tigers have no Minor League affiliate still playing. Double-A Erie was eliminated from the Eastern League playoffs over the weekend, and neither Triple-A Toledo nor the Class A teams in Lakeland, Fla., and West Michigan made the postseason.

That leaves the Florida instructional league as the highest-level destination where he could rehab. It's where teams send players after their Minor League seasons end for extra work in September and early October, either to follow up on progress made during the summer or to set up a move for the following spring. The majority of players involved are in the lower levels of the farm system.

Since it's not an official league with a set schedule of games against other clubs, instructional league technically doesn't count as a rehab assignment. With intrasquad games, however, the Tigers could set up simulated games to get Peralta extra at-bats.

The Tigers' instructional league begins Sept. 19, a week before Peralta's suspension ends. When the latter happens, on Sept. 26, the Tigers must decide whether to restore Peralta to the active roster or make a move to take him off.
