Impressive analysis OED! I must admit that I will need to spend a little more time analyzing the numbers before I can have an intelligent conversation on the AL Central pitching and even the Tigers pitching. However, I'd be concerned if the Tigers had Colon and Zumaya as relievers in the majors this season, especially early. I'd rather see one or both of them start at Toledo so they can get some innings in and avoid the frustration of only pitching an inning or two in the majors every week. One bad outing can linger for weeks if that's the case. Especially with four starters that will eat up a lot of innings and then relievers like Jones and Walker who will get priority in relief and then German and Rodney and Spurling who will probably be given a chance to prove themselves before Zumaya and Colon. Depending on how spring training goes Percival may be given a relief spot as well. I think Ledezma needs to prove himself again in Toledo before he's brought up as well. It's exciting for the Tigers to have these issues though!
