Was Curtis Granderson a Victim of Bad Coaching?
Last week, we swapped posts with Pinstripe Alley, trying to get some local opinion on the players involved in the Curtis Granderson trade to the Yankees. (If you missed it, here's jscape2000's post about Austin Jackson and Phil Coke.) In my post about Granderson, I mentioned my theory that Jim...
Morning Prowl: 40-Man Roster Decisions, Placido Polanco's Market Value, and Van Slyke's Replacement
At The Detroit Tigers Weblog, Bill Ferris looks at the team's 40-man roster, which currently has 44 players on it (due to some being protected on the disabled list). So the Tigers have some decisions to make, especially as some minor leaguers will need to be protected. Bill speculates who the...
Johnny Damon's Ninth Inning At-Bat: Which Tigers Hitter Could've Done That?
Here's a question for you, Tigers fans: If you were watching Game 4 of the World Series last night, and were still tuned in for the ninth inning and Johnny Damon's pivotal at-bat against Brad Lidge, did you find yourself wondering if anyone in Detroit's current lineup would've (or could've) pulled...
Morning Prowl: Lloyd McClendon, Zumaya's Health, The Power Thames, and Useless Articles

And then there's the contract Magic Johnson received in 1981. After just two seasons, Magic Johnson was already considered one of...
McClendon Not on the Mariners' Radar
Judging from the lack of comments for our post about Lloyd McClendon and the Mariners, people either didn't care that the Detroit Tigers hitting coach could possibly be a candidate for that position or didn't believe that there would be any interest on Seattle's part. Besides, it was pure...
McClendon For the Mariners' Job?
Could Detroit Tigers hitting coach Lloyd McClendon be a candidate for the Seattle Mariners' managerial opening? On his Freep blog, Jon Paul Morosi points out that McClendon played for the Pittsburgh Pirates while new Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik was the team's scouting director. Asked about...
Mariners Considering Lloyd McClendon for Manager
Wow. Well, I guess it's better for a team in the Mariners' position to wait to hire who they really want to until they can build the team they really want, and McClendon was pretty responsible in his treatment of young pitchers. He was pretty strange about giving playing time to the right young...
Is Another Tigers Coach Not Coming Back?
Did you catch this little nugget at the end of John Lowe's story on the Tigers declining Edgar Renteria's contract option for next year? Also, one day after pitching coach Chuck Hernandez and bullpen coach Jeff Jones were fired, Dombrowski said the other four coaches on manager Jim Leyland's...
