If Glass decides to make some moves to improve the team at the All-Star break, I could still see the Royals staying in the hunt until September.

I used to like PTI, but it not as good anymore. Sportscenter is a joke, I will wait for 45 minutes to see what I want to see, then it has 8 seconds of coverage. The only time I see Royals coverage is if they are playing the Yankees or Red Sox. I guess I am not the demographic they care about. Anyway, that is my rant about ESPN (I could go on about why I dislike ESPN). On the Royals front, I had expected us to compete for the division this year, but no longer. @pthomp21 I have gotten tired of watching ESPN unless they have a game I want to watch.

With Verlander, Cabrera, and now Fielder we can expect our fair share of Tigers coverage on the ESPN family of networks next season. Lucky us.

I am happy for him to be playing for the same team his Dad played for as well. I just wont be rooting him anymore (unless they are playing the Yankees or White Sox, of course). If you believe in Moneyball, then I suppose the defense does not matter, however the Tigers could be very bad on the corner infield spots. The Tigers now look like a team ready to take on the perennial big winners though. I expect the Tigers to go to The Series this year and to be a fun team to watch.
