Detroit Tigers at Kansas City Royals, Apr 25, 2009 7:10 PM EDT
Zach Miner (1-1, 8.10) vs. 
Kyle Davies (1-0, 2.89), 7:10 p.m. EST
With a presumably full night of rest in Kansas City, the Detroit Tigers will hopefully put forth a far better effort this evening than they did last night against Zack Greinke. But they're not necessarily catching a break, with the third leg of the Royals' "MGD" triumvirate on the mound.
Kyle Davies has allowed more than three hits in only one of his three starts this season. (And as we said last night with Greinke, Davies did this against some strong White Sox, Indians, and Rangers lineups.) The MLB.com scouting report says he likes to throw fastballs for strikes early in the count, so that could help out a Tigers lineup that likes to jump on some first pitches. In five career starts against Detroit, Davies has a 1-4 record and 4.44 ERA.
Zach Miner returns to the Tigers' starting rotation after off-days in the schedule allowed the team to skip his turn. His last outing was pretty ugly, both in terms of performance and conditions. On a cold, rainy afternoon in Detroit last week, Miner gave up eight runs and nine hits in just 3.1 innings to the White Sox. The climate should be quite a bit more friendly tonight at Kansas City.
Miner was very good against the Royals as a starter last year, posting a 3-1 record and 2.88 ERA in four appearances. in two starts at Kauffman Stadium, he was even better, allowing no runs and six hits in 13 innings.

I am still stunned the Lions took a tight end with their 20th pick. I don’t hate it, but I’m not sure I like it.

Colts
I was surprised that they just took a running back. There defense isn’t exactly the mark of excellence, but then again neither was their running game. I was thinking more along the lines of lineman or linebacker.

Probably best not to even think about the Lions. It’s like trying to comprehend Cthulu and will only lead to madness. :)

Well, the past few years pundits and talking heads have been talking about how the Lions “won the draft,” and that hasn’t worked out that well for them. Maybe losing the draft will lead to winning actual games?

Adam isn’t anything unless he can steal bases, which he can no longer do

maybe
Ramon: career .239/.310/.328 hitter
Adam: career .246/.299/.355 hitter
by ThaWalrus9 on Apr 25, 2009 8:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
but
Everett can play gold glove caliber defense, which you need from such a light hitting shortstop. I am Ok with Everett earning a mill, and getting the majority of the time at short.
