Tigers SS wants Gold Glove sub
The where-will-Carlos Guillen-play question once seemed some abstract subject, reserved for a later place and time. No more. Guillen thinks of himself as a shortstop, but it's clear that a different viewpoint has evolved among club officials. Guillen, one of the team's most respected players, isn't angry. He has told Leyland he's willing to do what's necessary to help the team. If club officials decide to trade for an everyday shortstop, though, Guillen would have strong opinions about the identity of his successor. "I heard a lot of rumors about Jack Wilson," Guillen said, referring to the Pittsburgh shortstop. "I don't know what his numbers are. He didn't win a Gold Glove." If not Wilson, whom would Guillen endorse? "Cesar Izturis," Guillen said of the Pirates' other shortstop, who will become a free agent this off-season if Pittsburgh declines a club option. "Omar Vizquel. He's got 11 Gold Gloves."

I would have a real hard time watching Omar play in a Tigers uniform. IF this even happened. Going from Cleveland (AL) to SF (NL) was hard to take considering he was no longer wearing an Indians uniform but at least he wasn't coming back to the Jake to play. If he showed up not only in the Jake for another team but with our division rivals...that would really be hard to take. Considering the SS for Cleveland right now is not the best I've ever seen...hell, not even middle of the pack good...I would like to see Omar come back to Cleveland if he goes anywhere.

LASTCHOICE...who says it still isn't...last time I checked the Indians were owning the Tigers and are only 1 win short of being tied for the best record in baseball. Looks to me like the WC could still come from the Central.

Naw TRUTH...this is the new TRIBE...no JINX this year. I will say this however...Westbrook is looking like a liability here of late. In his last 8 starts he is 2-3 w/ 3 ND's. In his last 5 starts he is 1-2 w/ 2 ND's. Last five starts...6.2 innings (3 R's) W.....5.0 innings (4R's) L.....7.2 innings (2R's) ND (offense fault on this one)....6 innings (5R's) L....Last night 5 innings (4R's) ND...So with the exception of one quality outing he is putting way too much pressure on the offense. We can't hit 4 HR's every game!

Tribe13, what the hell are you talking about? You do know WC is wildcard don't you? I am going to assume you didn't know what WC meant because to suggest the Tigers have a shot is just too ridiculous.
Also the Tribe is the worst team in the playoffs and going out in the first round. They are the team everyone wants to face. Beating up on the awful Tigers and the rest of the central means nothing.
What have they done against the other 3 teams in the playoffs?
0 and 6 vs yanks
3 and 5 vs sox
5 and 5 vs angels
That is 8 and 16 vs playoff teams. Doesn't look like a good number to me. Maybe you can spin it.

Um lastchoice...the Tribe is a .5 game behind the Redsox for the best record in baseball. Hardly the worst

The record doesn't really matter because of the unbalanced schedule. The Tribe has a record of 45-23 in the central and that is where they played most of their games. They are 18-18 VS the East and 12 and 5 VS the West. If they were in any other AL div then their record would be a lot worse. If they were in the East they would be 3rd or worse. The bad news for the Tribe is they will not see any central teams in the playoffs.
