Good reporting from former GR Press writer Danny Knobler. This issue is finally getting some national attention. It's been under the radar in Detroit, too.

When you look at all the circumstances, a release seems like the most prudent choice. $18 million is just too much to pay Magglio next year, even if he turns it around.

Best Tigers season preview I've seen yet.

Quoted: [O]n the matter of tempting fate.... I regret to say I'm NOT doing my part; in fact, I'm thinking of getting a Tigers Old English 'D' tattoo. Now, you might say, well, what if the Tigers go on another 20-year ass-sucking binge? To which I say, did I attend multiple Tigers games during a season when Randall Simon was named team MVP? I did.

this has cheered me up slightly after the disaster that is the Mariners right now... this is good stuff Tiger.

I had a premonition about what the conclusion of this article would be. I'm not sure if I agree with the author or not.

Quoted: Whoa! Against that motley crew our projection for Bonds suggests he'd come first in every category. Ignoring the fact that Bonds' age-43 production would likely be historically awesome, he'd almost hold his own against the fraternity of 20-something-year-old sluggers, like Prince Fielder and Ryan Howard.

Quoted: Joel Zumaya introduced himself to America in the seventh inning of Game 2 of the American League Division Series. The Detroit Tigers reliever looked rather like Bob Seger's drum tech—goatee, forearm tattoo of a flame, bloodshot right eye. ("Allergies," he
