Does anyone think he should be replaced in the rotation in favor of Ledezma/Miner maybe even Miller? I feel Durbin would be much better in the bullpen. IMO, he's not starter material.

I wonder why they like Durbin so much? Let Miller stay down for a while.

I'd love to see Ledezma in the rotation. Despite the homerun he gave up today, he impresses me the most out of the other options. Although, that really gets rid of the onlu "Quality" lefty in the pen.

Durbin is a 5th starter, not a world beater by any stretch, but compared to other teams #5 he's at least average I woudl assume. I'd keep running him out there for the time being, not because I don't think we have better options, but because I want Miller to get some minor league starts under his belt.

I like Ledezma in the bullpen and don't want to muck that up, especially as Ledezma has trouble getting past the 6th inning, meaning we'd see more of Mesa and Grilli.

I've never been a fan of Zach Miner. And if he doesn't trust his own stuff(evidenced by his dinking around and not challenging hitters) why should the Tigers trust him when every game counts and games at the beginning of the season are just as important as those at the end.

I'm not a big fan of Miner either...

I was baffled at how well he was pitching because they looked like very hittable balls

When is Miller going to be our 5th starter? Durbin is terrible.

Let him start another game, he does nothing. Dump him, give Miner or someone else a shot. No Andrew Miller, why rush hiim. Should be a minor leaguer though and not a bullpen guy.

I read that Miner is 0-2 with an era over 12 right now at Triple A. He's probably not an option right now if he's struggling down there the wat that he is.

Ok, so how about Roger Clemens?

I don't really follow the minor league players numbers. I know the main young, key ones...but thats about it.

I don't know then.
