The Carlos Guillen Brandon Inge positional shuffle took another turn today when Jim Leyland announced that Inge will move back to third and Guillen to left field in 2009. Inge has been struggling offensively and defensively as a catcher and has always been more comfortable at third. He is currently batting .204/.300/.366 which won't be good enough even with his strong defense at third. He'll

It's been almost four weeks since Carlos Guillen played in a game for the Detroit Tigers. Due to back spasms, he's missed more than 20 games now, with only nine (perhaps 10) remaining on the 2008 schedule. Considering how long he's been out, Guillen would need time to get back into playing shape even if his back was fully recovered. As a result, Jim Leyland doesn't expect Guillen to play again this...

Kenny Rogers might not be the only Detroit Tigers who's played his last game of the season already. (I suppose we can add Todd Jones to that list, as well.) It's been three weeks since Carlos Guillen took the field for the Tigers, sitting down with a pinched nerve in his back. He's already missed 18 games, and with only 12 (maybe 13) left on the schedule, he and the Tigers may just decide there's...

Take 75 North looks at the Tigers' 40-man roster while sharpening his pruning shears. If simulated games counted in the standings, Dontrelle Willis and Freddy Garcia would give the Tigers an awesome 1-2 punch in starting pitching. The Daily Fungo taunts us with math.

I'm a couple of days late in writing about Carlos Guillen sitting out with back pain that's also developed into numbness down his right leg, along with increasingly sore hamstrings. But with Jeff Larish being called up from Toledo to take his place and Todd Jones very likely calling it a career yesterday, I think the sentiment I originally wanted to express on Tuesday is still timely. When it comes...

Carlos Guillen continues to battle back problems, and the situation doesn’t sound good. He’s experiencing numbness in his right leg and soreness in both hamstrings. Hopefully the Tigers take it easy with Guillen, and Guillen takes it easy as well. If there is a silver lining it’s that the injury may give [...]
