Veryzer, former Tigers first-round pick, dies at 61

DETROIT -- Former Tigers shortstop and first-round pick Tom Veryzer passed away on Tuesday at the age of 61.
A native of Islip, N.Y., Veryzer was the 11th overall pick in the 1971 Draft and became the Tigers' regular shortstop in 1975 at the age of 22. A year later, Detroit used its second-round pick on Alan Trammell, who took over shortstop duties by the end of '77.
Soon after, the Tigers traded Veryzer to Cleveland, where he spent four seasons as the Indians shortstop. He kept on playing as a utility infielder until 1984, when his Major League career ended with the Cubs.
Veryzer batted .231 with 112 RBIs in 390 career games as a Tiger and .241 with 84 doubles, 14 home runs, 231 RBIs and a .577 OPS over 12 seasons in the Majors.
Veryzer is survived by his wife, Vivian, and three children -- Thomas, William and Jennifer. A viewing will be held Thursday at Overton Funeral Home in Islip, from 2-4:30 p.m. and 7-9 p.m ET. A mass will be held on Friday at 9:45 a.m. at St. Macy's Roman Catholic Church.

Miggy gets game off for first time this season.
DETROIT -- Miguel Cabrera ambled into the Tigers' clubhouse at 10:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, appearing relaxed.

For the first time all season, Cabrera was not in Detroit's starting lineup Wednesday. Don Kelly took his place at first base.

For quite some time, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus had been trying to figure out a way to give the All-Star and two-time reigning American League MVP Award winner a day off. That became more difficult when Victor Martinez's back and side soreness lingered.

Ausmus finally settled on Wednesday vs. the Dodgers as the game to be without both sluggers, for a number of reasons.

"Generally speaking, when you're a regular player, first of all, you want a day game off," Ausmus said. "We're playing outside of the division -- actually playing outside of the league, if you want to get technical. So that was the thought process behind it."

The manager also said that it's difficult to focus on matchups when selecting a day off for Cabrera because he hits a vast majority of pitchers well.

But the optimal time for Cabrera's short rest before the All-Star break would've come Sunday, according to Ausmus, when the Tigers faced David Price. Because that game was switched from the afternoon to the evening for ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball telecast, that plan was ruled out.

The All-WAR All Star team.

In terms of WAR snubbery, Ian Kinsler is easily the biggest snub. His 3.7 WAR not only leads all second basemen, but is third best in the entire league. He leads his position in offense and defense, and would be starting on the all WAR team.
Others added would include Dozier, catcher Yan Gomes, and shortstops Erick Aybar and Alcides Escobar.
