Detroit Tigers Links: Jim Leyland juggles the bullpen & Toledo's Star Wars uniforms

Detroit Tigers' Jim Leyland being careful with Jose Valverde, Al Alburquerque as bullpen continues to round into shape
MLive, Chris Iott
The unspoken luxury in this situation is that the starting pitching has allowed Leyland to be selective in his bullpen usage. They are averaging 6 1/3 innings per start as a team this season, which is astounding.

"On the flip side, there was Wade Davis. Davis was miserable. I was hoping he could last five innings. He went 4.2, allowing 15 baserunners."

Twinkie Town, Jon Marthaler

"Correia, 32, signed a two-year contract worth $10 million in the off-season, a move that many - including you - criticized at the time. Through five starts, however, Correia has a 3-1 record and a 2.23 ERA, has pitched at least seven innings and allowed three or fewer runs in each of the five games, and now also has a pretty good idea of the things you've been saying about him."

Yes, Matt Harvey's strikeouts are fantastic ... but.
Baseball Nation, Rob Neyer
No buts. Harvey is 4-0 with a 1.35 ERA and is allowing 3.6 hits per nine innings. Dude's the real deal.
