You guys need some outstanding defensive capable players. Get rid of Peralta, put Miggy or Prince at DH/1B, start Victor at Catcher. Improve 3B/SS defensively and you should be good. Don't know what Infante's situation looks like. Quite frankly, the Tigers have to be one of the worse teams defensively in all of baseball.
Victor doesn't have the knees to last as a C for even half a year anymore. Peralta was quite ordinary this year, but unless you trade you aren't going to find much on the market for SS. And frankly, I'd rather have Peralta than a POS like Brendan Ryan who's all glove no bat. Infante is signed through 2013. Realistically, we need to get another pitcher that can K guys. While I like Porcello, he's about the polar opposite of what this team provides. Guys like Scherzer and Verlander can flourish because they don't rely on D as much.
Yunel Escobar of the Bluejays gets suspended for three games for having "tu ere *******" written in his eye black and that translates to, "you are a *******" (damn WF censor )
Let me personally nominate Alex Rios for AL MVP this year. If he isn't heavily considered, then I would question the veracity of voters on the subject matter. Broke up the double play yesterday, which scored two crucial runs, and now he just hit the go ahead solo HR against Kansas City. Yes, Rios was miserable last year, but I don't know if there has been a more VALUABLE player in the MLB - so clutch.

Reno Aces (D-Backs) win the AAA Baseball championship tonight after beating the ICL champ from Pawtuckett. The PCL and ICL champs traditionally of late play a one game championship game in Durham, NC.
Funny thing about Pawtuckett, their starting pitcher was freaking nelson Figueroa.
Cano .911 OPS, .384 wOBA, 143 wRC+, 6.3 WAR
Reddick only .797 OPS, but .340 wOBA, 117 wRC+, 4.3 WAR, gold glove defense
Rios .847 OPS, .363 wOBA, 126 wRC+, 3.9 WAR
Both been better. But I realized I missed Zobrist, so put him in over Reddick. I would've put AJax, but two Tigers aren't gonna make it if they don't make the playoffs (despite how well he's produced).
You guys are missing Hawk praise Bruce Chen and constantly referring to him as "CY" Chen. Yes, the same journey-man Bruce Chen who has been a cast off from many teams. :lmao
Hawk: "Got em'." (after a Chen has a strikeout)
Hawk: "I tell ya' what, Stone poney. Cy Chen is really reviving his career. This guy can throw."
The 2nd Wildcard spot has been a nice thing for baseball. Without it, the National League would be an afterthought as all the division races are all but finished. Nationals have a 5 1/2 game lead over the Braves so it might not be totally done, but it's close.
American League races are still good, especially the AL East. Yankees and Orioles are going to go down to the wire, and there's a good chance one of those teams won't be postseason bound at all at this rate.
