Day off for Miguel Cabrera. He left last night's lopsided game late with right knee soreness, but manager Ron Gardenhire downplayed it postgame.
So he doesn't face Verlander. We know how this looks.

Soto vs. JV. Oh boy.

Well, happy Verlander day everyone!

 

[Mitchrapp]

We traded the wrong guy. Or maybe we gave a 10 year deal to the wrong guy.

Good Lord, does Jones start on the warning track? Reddicks fly ball to center was up there a long time and Jones never got close to it. Hell, Nick got closer to it and it was almost straight away center.

nobody wanted the guy with the 10 year contract

BITD, players said of other players sent down as have "died." I wonder if that still is true.

 

[Mitchrapp]

“He just needs to go find himself, find his swing,” How about Jacoby - doesn't he need to find his swing? As far as Candy some nice things early last season and has been worthless since.
