		<title>Leyland Lays Down the Law</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rain washed out the Tigers/Phillies game in Lakeland today but Tigers manager Jim Leyland wasn&#8217;t about to let the day pass without getting a few things off his chest. For the past couple of days, Leyland has been hinting through the media about what qualities he&#8217;s looking for from his pitchers. Today, he told those [...]]]></description>

		<title>By the Numbers: Brandon Inge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By the Numbers is our semi-regular feature where we profile the best, or sometimes just most interesting, current or former Tiger to wear each uniform number. To catch up on earlier installments, click the &#8220;By the Numbers&#8221; tag at the top of this page.
In the annuls of Tiger history, very few prominent players have worn the number [...]]]></description>

		<title>Turner Has Auspicious Debut</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the middle innings of the Tigers 9-8 loss to the Yankees yesterday in Lakeland, manager Jim Leyland gave the ball to a 19 year old kid and told him to go face the Bronx Bombers. With that, Jacob Turner, the Tigers first round pick in last June&#8217;s draft, made his professional debut with the Tigers.
With the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Familiar Faces Return to Lakeland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When the Tigers take the field to battle the Yankees at Joker Marchant Stadium this afternoon, a couple old friends will be suited up to face them. The Yankees are bringing former Tigers Marcus Thames and Curtis Granderson when they make the trip from Tampa.
Thames, who originally came up with New York, returned to the Yankees on a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Strasburg Impresses, So Does Porcello</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Detroit 9, Washington 4 (box)
Two things struck me as I watched the debut of Washington Nationals phenom Stephen Strasburg today. First, this kid just looks like he belongs. There wasn&#8217;t any doubts about his stuff, and he showed why, but I was most impressed with his mound presence. He just seems like he should be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday Tracks: Tigers News, Strasburg Debuts, and the Twins Lose Nathan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Tigers announced this morning the first cuts of Spring Training when they re-assigned catchers John Murrian and Eric Roof to minor league camp. Both players were in camp as non-roster invitees, so no repercussions on this move. It is not uncommon for extra catchers to start the Spring in big league camp, so they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Willis Takes Another Step Forward</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In his quest to become a major league pitcher again, Tigers lefty Dontrelle Willis has a long way to go. Diagnosed with an anxiety disorder last Spring, Willis has made just 14 starts for the Tigers over the past two years. In that time, he has walked 63 batters in just 57.2 innings. Most of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Impressions From Week One of Grapefruit League Action</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the first week of camp, it&#8217;s always important to maintain perspective. Players that look like all-stars at the beginning of March rarely look so good as Opening Day draws near, especially the young guys. One possible exception is hopefully going to be Austin Jackson. Jackson has played in all five contests thus far and [...]]]></description>

		<title>One of the Perks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are thousands of sports blogs out there and probably millions of bloggers. Of those, a very, very small percentage of us actually make any money, and almost none of us makes enough to buy more than a cup of coffee per week. Simply put, we don&#8217;t write for the money, we write for our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leyland Addresses Rotation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tigers manager Jim Leyland isn&#8217;t about to handicap the battle for the final two spots in the starting rotation, at least not publicly. And if he were to do that, he certainly wouldn&#8217;t do it after one Spring Training outing for each competitor. But he did speak candidly on the ideal situation for the team and it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
