Jon Paul Morosi, Victim of Poor Photoshopping, Picks Tigers to Win AL Central

by Ian Casselberry on Jul 17, 2009 1:00 PM EDT in Detroit Tigers News

Former Freep Tigers beat writer Jon Paul Morosi talked to one of his old colleagues and predicts that Detroit will win the AL Central:

Yes, I think they are going to win the division. I don't think it's going to be easy. But I think they have the most talent. Note: They had two starting pitchers on the All-Star team. They have a chance to win three out of every five games they play, as long as the offense is somewhat consistent.

Morosi also believes Miguel Cabrera will have to drive in more runs and that the White Sox will be the Tigers' closest competition in the division.

But the main reason I want to bring this up is the picture they're running at Freep.com of Morosi. What the hell is that?

Who did the cropping on that head shot? (Is "cropping" even the correct term for this?) Did Morosi say he wanted to look thinner? Was this some failed attempt at artistic expression? Did Morosi tick off one of the web guys, and this is his way of getting revenge? Is the Freep bitter about losing him to Foxsports.com? It's awful. They made the poor guy look like a burn victim.

If the top of the order begins to pick it up a bit

we’ll be sitting pretty. Grandy, Miguel, Placido need to pick it up some. And whoever is sitting in that 3 spot.

You know what that pic looks like?

Someone went nuts with the “fill” function in Photoshop or some variation thereof, like they took the picture from somewhere but didn’t want whatever was behind him visible so they just filled it in with white. Sometimes it fills in areas that you don’t want filled in, but no one thought to fix it.
