well anyway, it's good to see Raburn off to a good start

Up until March 20 when he hit his last ST homer, we were all thinking this is the year he starts off hot....then something like a 3 for 35 to close out, and now in the 6th game batting .105 same old mudhen/shinebox.

That dope at espn mikenbig was all over him until March 20th, crickets from that dumbass since.
 
The worst part about this is that it means Inge may get a chance to play 2B.

I'm curious who gets sent down. Dirks is doing okay and it'll be a shame if he gets sent down in place of Inge. Maybe Kelly?

I'm not sure. I never follow (or understand) who has options to be sent down, etc. It'd be nice if they'd cut ties with Inge but I'm not optimistic that will happen.
 
Tiegrs need to get Worth in the lineup and see how he will due. As he is only batting .200 in five Ab's. At this point he would be low man to go as he is an infielder. But really Raburn needs to get it going as his .105 is really below the Inge line at this point!!!!!!
 
Mudhen's batting average is at .091 now... How long will it take Smokes to realize this year he cannot hit RHP at all and both RHP and LHP from March through June... He should only start verses LHP period preferably after June or July but we have no choice i guess right now..

You haters just wait, he'll hit .291 in the 2nd half.

We do have a choice, LHP, Dirks RHP -- LF. DY FT DH. Santiago/Worth split time at 2B.
 
Way to wait a full week before freaking out.

Because he's only been a Tiger for a week? Ok!!

Meh, i could give 2 shits about Raburn anyways. He's just another putz Leyland loves to run out there for some reason. Him and Inge. Two fn riddles wrapped up in a ring of ridiculousness that NOBODY can explain...lol.
 
It's funny that Leyland likes to use everyone early in the season but Worth, Kelly and Santiago have been rarely used yet K Burn is out there everyday. With his stupid batting average and currently adds zip to the lineup.

Linking Inge and Raburn? Interesting. A brief look at the stats over the last 4-5 years will tell you why Raburn gets at bats. 2009 and 10 Raburn was a top 3 hitter on the team, based on the stats. Hopefully he can get back to a mid-high .800's OPS.

We don't hate K Burn for the stats he puts up but instead for the long games of crap he puts forth. Don't you get sick of him for batting like super crap for 2-3 months at a time? I get tired of waiting for him to heat up..

You saw it in ST. He was hitting fine, saw the date for opening day and went into hyper suck mode..

Most every marginal player is streaky. Boesch can't hit in the second half, Avila can't hit in the playoffs, Peralta was below average August-October last year. They all have problems, just like Raburn. Guys like Cabrera and Fielder are pretty much the only kind of players that have good months always. And it's been a week. Jesus.
 
Hey no K's for Raburn yesterday, in fact he's only tied for 3rd on the team currently for most strikeouts. improvement!
LOL
