switcheroo.jpgIt’s easy to notice significant roster changes in the the Tigers lineup amidst a 10-2 walloping of the Texas Rangers. Verlander’s pitching again! Renteria’s on fire! And … Carlos Guillen and Miguel Cabrera are permanently switching positions!

Leyland had little to say about the switch. He didn’t give a timetable for a minimum of how long it might last. But he spoke about it with an air of permanence.

Sort of an … odd fix to the whole situation. Cabrera’s playing bad defense at third, so move him to first, and put Guillen at third, who was moved to first because … he was bad at defense at shortstop. This will work wonders! Let’s see … Nate Robertson is having trouble pitching. Let’s put him in the outfield, where he’ll pitch less, and replace him with … Brandon Inge. DFP
