Feel the breeze? They aren't yet gusts of change blowing tumbleweeds across the wasteland of the Tigers' season. But the whirlwind is coming. It involves names we know and people we like, such as Todd Jones and Kenny Rogers. It also involves those we don't know well, a rookie and veteran trying to make it back, Chris Lambert and Freddy Garcia. But September creeps closer, and it's third place the Tigers continue to play for, not first. The inevitable transition this club will experience after such an abject disappointment has started. Todd Jones returned home on Wednesday. Jones called a brief team meeting before batting practice, hugged his teammates, was emotional because he always is, and returned to Pell City, his Alabama home, to see if his rehab program will allow him to pitch again.

Todd always made you nervous, but got it done consistently.

He was a fun guy. Best wishes to him.

It did seem that he loved to load the bases and then take care of the side. Too much for me to handle... peace Todd.

You had a nice run, but it is time. You should look to replace Jim Price as radio color guy.

The Tigers will be lucky to finish in fourth place the way they're playing. Jones won't be back in Detroit regardless of his condition. Time to dump some heavy contracts and build the Tigers from the Minor League system.
