10:03 AM ET 04.21 | Rookie Jesus Montero was back behind the plate Friday to catch Hector Noesi, a combination that resulted in eight shutout innings in Noesi's last start. Many fans - and media members - are clamoring for more playing time at catcher for Montero. But manager Eric Wedge said before Friday's game that catching regularly would actually be counterproductive for Montero's development.

For once, it's a good problem to have. If you're a Mariner fan, you've been waiting YEARS to have two players WHO CAN ACTUALLY HIT play the same position!

the tigers starters are like a single A minor leaguers, except for verlander, the tigers have nothing as a conssistancy starter, porcello should be send down to their minors, and the tigers should trade for a lefty starter from the nationals in lannan, other pitcher who could become available through trade, its bartolo colon from the A's, all in all we have to wait and see who should the tigers get, but this team needs starting pitchers in a hurry, unless they want to be a medicre team!!!
