Headlines and comments



Tigers' first, third basemen switch spots

Makes perfect sense. Miguel Cabrera has long been a below average third baseman, and Carlos Guillen has been a shortstop all his life. Gullen's aching knees limited him defensively the past couple of years, but let's face it — a guy who can play shortstop regularly for a 90-win team probably doesn't need to move directly to first base. This should improve the Detroit defense.

Kyle Lohse is 13th in the NL in ERA

OK, that's not a headline. But it's still noteworthy, considering that he was unemployed in mid-March.

I said this a couple of years ago: St. louis is the ideal team for him. He's exactly the type of pitcher Tony LaRussa has built his career on — he's been around a while, has obvious talent, has never really put it together. There's a startlingly impressive list of pitchers who had big years for LaRussa and never for anybody else — LaMarr Hoyt, Dave Stewart, Mike Moore, Chris Carpenter, Storm Davis. If Loshe can't succeed with Larussa and Dave Duncan, he can't pitch for anybody.

The Cincinnati Reds fired Wayne Krivsky as GM.

Bound to happen. Krivsky was hired to do for the Reds what he helped Terry Ryan do with the Twins, but two years — almost exactly — isn't enough.

He's not Ryan. Ryan's a scout, and Krivsky, like new Twins GM Bill Smith, is an executive. The Reds, by and large, are better off now than they were when Krivsky took over, but it has been the kind of progress -- based on drafting and developing young players -- that an impatient owner has difficulty recognizing.
