Tigers fall, Guillen switches
posted in 2007 season, Chicago White Sox |White Sox 5, Detroit 2
Let’s play a game of what do we know.
- We know that a win or loss really didn’t mater unless you wanted 90 wins
- We know Detroit will win no more than 89 with the loss.
- We know Magglio went 2-for-4 virtually guaranteeing him of the batting title, which is pretty cool.
- We know Carlos Guillen is moving from shortstop to first base next season.
- We know the White Sox, in all their suckitude of 07, still own the Tigers.
What don’t we know?
- We don’t know if the starting pitcher, Kenny Rogers, played his last game in the Tigers uniform. I think not, but you can’t say for sure whether he and the team will come to an agreement. Right now, they’re both saying the right thing.
- We don’t know who will play short stop, although Guillen thinks it will be a good player, which is why he made the move. We think.
What can we presume?
- We can presume that means there’s no chance of Sean Casey coming back, unless it’s as a backup or something.
- We can presume Chris Shelton has little future unless maybe he’s going to be Guillen’s backup.
- We know Guillen is pretty good at first base defensively, but he’s not overwhelming as a first-base style batter. Not that I think it matters as much as others think.
