Don't know about you, but that makes me nervous. While I think Suarez/Perez/Lombardozzi combo would work defensively, the question remains as to what kind of production they'd get out of those three. Then again, Iglesias isn't exactly Miggy in terms of production, either. And if they traded for a replacement, who would they give up for a short-termer? Bad idea. I say go with Lombo/Suarez/Perez and work like mad to get Iglesias fit.

Jason Beck, the MLB Beat reporter that covers the Tigers, has an article on the situation in his blog. Must read for serious and dedicated Tiger fans.

Lynn Henning of the Detroit News has his own take on the situation.

I wonder if this will lead the Tigers to sign Stephen Drew?
