Tigers hire Leyland


I hated to see Alan Trammell take the Tigers job several years ago because I knew this would be how it ended. Next up, Jim Leyland. He managed the 1997 Marlins to the title while working with current Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski.

Here's what Tony LaRussa says about Leyland: "He is the best manager I have ever been around."

At least he was. He hasn't managed since 1999 when he burned out in Colorado. Hopefully, he can recapture the magic he had in Pittsburgh and Florida.

The Tigers- where people go when the Phillies don’t want them.
