Blake of The Spot Starters was interviewed by It's Just Sports as part of their "Better Know a Blogger" series. (I see they've already moved onto other Tigers bloggers. Well, then.) Employing his typically probing questions, Patrick Hayes asks where Craig Paquette is on Blake's Top 100 Tigers list.
After watching Edwin Jackson in action yesterday, Lynn Henning thinks the trade was a steal for Detroit.
The Big Lead sees the Tigers' bullpen as "a potential disaster." Was 2006 the fluke or is hoping for a return to that performance realistic?
If you've been wondering how Cameron Maybin is doing with the Marlins, this USA Today profile might be just what you were looking for.
No need to worry about Juan Cruz ending up with the Twins. According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Cruz rejected Minnesota's contract offer before a trade could even be worked out.

Yesterday's game
Sure, it’s only Spring Training, but wasn’t yesterday a glimpse into some realism? Jackson looked great, Nate looked like Nate, Porcello looked like a kid, and Zumaya is definitely on his way back. I’m not unhappy about all that. Did any of us REALLY expect Nate to come out and look like the staff ace? Or did we expect Porcello to pitch like a veteran? If Jackson can be a solid starter and Zumaya can be reliable out of the bullpen, then I like the Tigers’ odds.
But yes. It’s only Spring Training.
And I love having XM radio.

This was good move to get Jackson
You always trade a spare outfielder for a starting pitcher. Beside outfielders are a dime a dozen where starting pitcher are not.

Henning
He’s all excited about Edwin Jackson now after 2 innings. Well, we gotta have hope. From the pictures I saw, Jackson does seem to have some nice mound presence. At least he did yesterday.

Time will tell about “a steal.” Jackson could have higher upside than Joyce though. We will see.

Anyone looking to get on board the Edwin Jackson bandwagon
I’ve been driving it since 2006. I’ll gladly swing by and pick you up.
