Do you really think he's the fastest player on the Tigers? He had all of 5 stolen bases in a mostly full season last year, and only 37 in his minor league career. Austin Jackson (though I have no idea why they don't give him the green light to run much) and Kinsler are both better basestealer's than him...not to mention Rajai Davis, who has had 4 40+ SB seasons in the past 5 years. I'm pretty sure the main reason that the Tigers picked him up was for his amazing defense...and that is going to be missed.
I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Detroit make an offer to Stephen Drew, since he's still unsigned and a pretty good defender as well. If they don't get him, maybe a trade with Seattle for Nick Franklin, now that the Mariners don't need him anymore.
i'm not really talking about stealing though. His overall speed is what I meant. I watched some games last year where he gets an infield hit to SS/3rd after the player made a great throw. Watching him play SS is great. He's been one of the better defensive SS we've had in years.
He's probably one of the best defensive shortstops in the game right now. It's a shame that he'll be out, especially since I've heard lots of talk saying that it'll be until the all-star break, and could possibly be most of the season.
For those in the Fantasy league: Remember to set your line-ups. Im seeing quite a few with DL15 and DL spot opened....
opening day is technically tommorrow (I think there is a Dodgers game on sunday though....)

yea, i'm getting on it now to double check everything. I was doing pretty good so far with injuries, other than Iglesias.
i put kershaw on the DL and dropped Scutaro for BJ Upton. nothing i can do with Fister though.
If I could of had 2 DL spots, I would of.
***** happens and its not fair having to choose between losing a top guy and not having the ability to fill a slot.
that's how i felt exactly during my first year. I had basically given up halfway through last season. But I'm on the ball this year. I do notice positions lock at a time though before your next matchup will start.
