However, 40 innings of Seay or Ledezma isn't a total loss either. I really like Ledezma for one, and Seay has pitched well this year and is a good LOOGY or short outing guy at this point.
One part of me wants to say this is a huge loss, the other part wants to say this is maybe two loss's (if that?) that we wouldn't otherwise have gotten. We all knew we would get an injury at some point (its just the way it happens) and our setup/closer spots are one of our best strengths.

I agree.
While Zoom-by-ya is one of my favorite Tigers; in all honesty he is just a middle relief pitcher. And, IMO, that's the most expendable of positions.
I just hope it all goes well with him, and he makes a full recovery ... as I do think his role will soon grow into our closer. I think he'll develope another pitch, and be a dominate one.
