Thank God you didn't do that to him, ... Your dog, maybe, but not your son. They would have picked on the poor kid.

Whether I'm there or not, I'll always be a Tiger, and I'll always root for the Tigers.

There's no question this guy has a special arm, but he's still a little raw.

He's a little taller (in his batting stance), a little more aggressive to the ball. He's not collapsing on his backside. His swing's more level.

I don't want to get ahead of ourselves, ... but if he continues like this, we'd have to rethink some things.

One guy we'll call up for sure is Marcus Thames .
