Detroit Tigers 2013 Season - Page 59

Sad to see the Tigers lose but glad my suffering is over... wishlist for this off season:

1) Leyland retires.
2) Trade Prince (and his contract) for a bag of baseballs.
3) Re-sign Scherzer.

Note: Keyword "wishlist"

I really like Jim Leyland. He's been here for eight years and gotten the team to the WS twice and post season 4 times. That's pretty good success. How many other teams that have been the laughingstock of the MLB would love to be able to say that. JL has gotten this team where it hasn't been for a long, long time. But now that he's gotten us here I think its time to get someone new in who can stand on JL's shoulders and get us over the hump that seems to allude him. If he retires I'll miss him. But I don't think Detroit will win a WS while he's still around.

I also think Leyland is good coach but I don't know how anyone can be for Dusty Baker getting fired, and not Leyland with a ton of talent.
Window can only remain open so long, having an MVP, Cy YounG, Potential Cy Young and the ERA leader on the same team?
I'm a Yankee fan so I was rooting for the Tigers naturally
