What's Happening With the Tigers?

• Brennan Boesch and Jhonny Peralta are hitting now and if they keep up and hit for some more power the Tigers are in luck and with Avila coming back and getting hotter and Dirks getting closer to continuing a great season, that should carry on, the offense looks a whole lot better
• Doug Fister is better than Drew Smyly, who needs to come back strong, so getting him back will be big.  Scherzer has to keep some more control and the Tigers pitching is pretty good, I wouldn’t worry about them right now.
• The bullpen is good and everything has clicked, just not all at the same time, and at some point pretty soon it will all start to click.
• Trade Candidates that make sense for Detroit this early are: Matt Garza, Ryan Dempster, Johnathan Broxton and Carlos Quinten
• Quintin Berry will be a very good reserve outfielder for the rest of the season and the Tigers need the speed off of the bench
• Matt Young should stick with Detroit until the end of interleague play at least, he can be helpful in these games
• This is a very talented team and I expect good things from here and beyond
• Brennan Boesch is 13-26 since June 7th not including tonight’s 0-5 and Peralta is 14-39 since June 2nd
