Detroit Tigers at Tampa Bay Rays, Aug 1, 2008 7:10 PM EDT
Zach Miner (5-3, 3.65) vs. 
Scott Kazmir (8-5, 2.84)
Those who have been waiting for the Tigers to re-discover the magic from 2006 might find that good feeling in their opponent tonight. The Tampa Bay Rays are this season's Wonder Boys, leading the kind of last-to-first thrill ride that can energize a city and fanbase. Currently, the Rays lead the AL East by three games, ahead of the media darlings of baseball playing in Boston and New York.
You could see Tampa accumulating the sort of young talent that might make this sort of run someday, but as long as they were in the same division as the Red Sox and Yankees, it seemed like they might eventually hit a glass ceiling. To this point, however, the Rays have hung tough. It will be interesting to see, however, if a young team might be affected by their front office not making an addition at the trade deadline (though they took a shot at Jason Bay), while their vaunted rivals both made key moves.
With Justin Verlander blowing up in his last two outings, is it possible that Zach Miner is currently the Tigers' best starting pitcher after just two starts? So far, he's made a nice transition from reliever to starter, giving up just two runs in 12 innings, with just one walk vs. six strikeouts.
Also pitching well in his last two starts is Scott Kazmir, and his previous outing might have been even better, had a rain delay not cut his night short. Kazmir has also allowed only two runs in his last 12 innings, but of course, he has a much longer track record to judge. Approximately a year ago, Kazmir faced the Tigers in Detroit, and held them to just three hits in six scoreless innings.

Ryan Raburn info?
I think Raburn’s minor league numbers look great, with no holes – good k to walk, has hit with power and average, and he’s proved himself in AAA. I’m also aware of his positional flexibility.
As Tigers’ fans, I have a few questions that I’d love your opinion on, even if you’ve only seen him a few times:
What’s his best position defensively? Does he play a legit 2b,3b, and all three OF positions…or is he sort of “not very good, but not terrible” at all of them equally?
Do you think that he hasn’t established a greater full-time role with more playing due to a.) the lack of openings on a veteran Tiger team, or b.) because Leyland and/or the front office don’t believe he can succeed as a full time player?
Do YOU personally think that he could be a viable big-league starting second baseman, third baseman, or corner OF? Could he post, say, a .750 OPS doing that full-time if the Tigers gave him the opportunity?
Thanks for your help! I’d really appreciate any of your comments and insights.

He seems pretty solid where ever he plays. No real “stand out” position.
I think he is kind of in the Brandon Inge boat when it comes to playing time. There are too many spots occupied by established players, on top of the fact that he is nothing spectacular offensively.
He could do it in a lower market team, or with a team that has a definite hole in their lineup at a position Raburn can play. Think Washington, Baltimore, San Diego, etc.

Chime in if you get a chance. It’s definitely a discussion worth having about a player who probably deserves more playing time.

The Tigers can’t let him off the hook here. He’s walked the bases loaded; they have to get a run out of this.

I think trying to cram Griffey into that lineup will hurt them as much as it helps them, especially seeing as he’s not much of a defender anymore.

In the past, Leyland used to go out to the mound a lot more often, sometimes right in the middle of an at bat, and talk to his pitcher. Is it me or is that not happening as much lately?

My God
The Tigers probably could have walked in 4 or 5 runs at least in those first 4 innings if they’d just let Cazmir keep throwing balls all over the place. I found it absolutely unbelievable that some of the Tiger hitters didn’t take advantage of his horrid pitching those first few. RISP for pitchers just stand there. This game is distracting me from my sorrow from yesterday, but the Tigers look pathetic.

Am I the only one suspicous that Toddd Jones just suddenly developed a sore shoulder 6 weeks ago, according to him, right at the trade deadline. I was actually thinking about this before my dog died. How convenient for him! I also think this will be Leland’s last year as manager.
