Detroit Tigers Team Notes

By know, you've probably heard of Jose Valverde's guarantee: "I think the series will finish in our house," Valverde said. "They have a good team, but the series is not [coming] back to New York."

A lot will be made of Valverde's words, of course. But what do they really mean? Are Derek Jeter and Curtis Granderson going to play harder now? Is A.J. Burnett more likely to pitch better? Of course not. The media will blow it up, the fans will rip Valverde and if the Tigers end up losing -- especially if he blows a save -- he'll get the blame for the defeat.

Now if he does blow a save, it won't be because of the guarantee. It's because he's Jose Valverde! The fact that he hasn't blown a save is one of the minor miracles of the 2011 season. He walks too many guys, gives up a few home runs. He plays with fire. Simply put: He's probably due.

Which is why Jim Leyland almost certainly wishes Papa Grande had just kept quiet.
