The group of four that included Cabrera, only Cabrera panned-out. Washburn-Huff should have worked better, but didn't. The Tigers shored-up their defense, but the defenders didn't hit. If a new pitching coach helped the Tigers pitch, then why not a new hitting coach. Leyland is not Sparky Anderson's " Captain Hook ", he sticks with a pitcher too long. I'm more of a Dombrowski fan, than Jimmy Leyland. Dombrowski brought in some people that should have helped, but failed. The group of four that included Cabrera, only Cabrera panned-out.

Washburn-Huff should have worked better, but didn’t.

The Tigers shored-up their defense, but the defenders didn’t hit.

If a new pitching coach helped the Tigers pitch, then why not a new hitting coach.

Leyland is not Sparky Anderson’s ” Captain Hook “, he sticks with a pitcher too long.

I’m more of a Dombrowski fan, than Jimmy Leyland.
