Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

Among all Tigers CFers since 1950, only Al Kaline in 1966 posted a higher wRC+ (161) than Jackson?s current 160 (min. 250 PA?s).
 
Tigers skipper says strikeouts are nice, quick outs are nicer.
Max Scherzer struck out seven Sunday in a 7-1 win over Kansas City. That gave Scherzer and Justin Verlander a combined 249 strikeouts for the season, the most by two Tigers pitchers before the All-Star break since Joe Coleman and Mickey Lolich had 295 in 1972.

Manager Jim Leyland acknowledged the stuff required to register so many strikeouts. But he said he would take quick outs any day over strikeouts.

Quick outs mean fewer pitches, which gets the starter more innings, which saves the bullpen.

A runner on third with less than two outs? Leyland loves strikeouts. Otherwise, give him weak grounders and soft fly balls.

Tigers' Justin Verlander mulling how he'll attack NL hitters in All-Star Game.
from the freep

The nine National League starters are a combined 6-for-42 (.143) lifetime against Verlander.
Verlander is 9-2 with a 1.83 ERA at Kauffman Stadium. In 88 1/3 innings, he has given up two homers and even tossed his first shutout in Kansas City in 2006.
 
The Tigers are prioritizing offense over starting pitching, according to an executive that has spoken to the team. The Tigers need second base help and could also explore trades for corner outfielders, starting pitchers and relievers.

A year ago, the Tigers' July trading strategy was easy to figure out.

They were going to get a pitcher. There was no doubt they were going to get a pitcher. They scouted every pitcher who could possibly be available, they called the Mariners at least once a day and often twice, and they ended up with Doug Fister.

The need was obvious. The deal made perfect sense, and it worked out even better than the Tigers could have hoped it would.

This year, as baseball people gathered Sunday for the All-Star Futures Game, no one seems anywhere near as certain what the Tigers will do.

They've shown some interest in Matt Garza (enough so that the Cubs sent special-assignment scout Dave Littlefield to watch the Tigers' Double-A Erie team). But Tigers people are suggesting a Garza deal is fairly unlikely.

They've shown some interest in Marco Scutaro, but don't appear to be all that enthused about the prospect of trading for him.

Some rival executives are convinced that the Tigers need to trade for a pitcher. Some believe that they need to get a second baseman.

Some think they don't really need to make any changes, and that they can (and likely will) win the American League Central with what they have.

And others have been told that after spending big on Prince Fielder, the Tigers don't have much money available to pick up anyone big.

While it's not certain that the Tigers will make any moves, they are preparing to do so. They've stepped up the scouting of their own top prospects, so that they can better decide which they would be willing to part with.
