Where's Kurt? (Helping to cover the NFL Draft for the SBNation mothership)

All things Jose Valverde, good and bad.

Was the bullpen by committee experiment a failure?

The new normal in the bullpen.

Were does Bruce Rondon fit in the bullpen puzzle?

What instructions did the Tigers give Brayan Villarreal, and will they work?

Octavio Dotel is 39 years old and has a bad elbow. That combination does not equal a speedy recovery.

Max Scherzer vs. King Felix Hernandez.

Weirdness in Anaheim.

Rick Porcello was the unluckiest man on the planet.

Where's the offense?

Andy Dirks isn't hitting. Could 2013 left field be the new 2012 right field?

No reason to be concerned over Victor Martinez.

Did the Tigers break Alex Avila?

Overrated? REALLY?

Why do sabermatricians hate the Tigers?

Luck, extra innings and the Orioles.

If Derek Jeter cannot return as a shortstop, he becomes a far less valuable player.

Who might be the best closer available at the trade deadline? Jason Grilli. Yes, THE SAME Jason Grilli Tigers fans ran out of town in 2008 already has nine saves for the Pirates.

Every time an idiot sports talk radio host says a closer is more valuable than a starter, baby Jebus cries.
