June 6-8: Panic In Detroit

I asked for an autograph...

A thus far successful road trip for the Bluebirds continues from Boston to Detroit, where they take on the Tigers for three. Detroit is kinda the same team they've been for years now: good offense loaded with dangerous hitters, baaaaad bullpen. What they're missing now compared to when they were winning NL Central titles is starting pitching. Max Scherzer and David Price are gone, Anibal Sanchez's career has taken a turn for the dumpster, and they can't grow a pitching prospect even with Miracle Prospect Gro (patent pending patent pending). Verlander is still good (when he makes it out there) as is free agent pickup Jordan Zimmermann despite his battles with declining strikeout rates, while rookie Michael Fulmer (nabbed in the Cespedes trade) has also been effective in seven starts thus far.
