Sean Casey may get all the press, but Todd Jones was a classy professional
while he was here. After his experience in Colorado, he doesn't seem to talk
with the press anymore, but I the dude has done well.

Todd Jones actually writes a column for The Sporting News magazine and it's
usually a pretty good read. It's interesting how he went from being kind
of a has-been to a crucial piece of that Tigers bullpen this season.

TJ is a shining example of the unpredicability of the relief role.
Who would've thought that he'd have the success he's had as a closer
since leaving.

I've been trying to come up with a list of "formers" from this year's
playoffs to see if they could field a complete team...

LHP David Wells
LHP Dennis Reyes
LHP Ron Villone
LHP Shawn Estes (DL)
RHP Brett Tomko
RHP Corey Lidle
RHP Josh Hancock
RHP Todd Jones

CF Mike Cameron
RF Juan Encarnarcion
LF Michael Tucker
1B Sean Casey
2B Todd Walker
SS D'Angelo Jimenez
3B Russel Branyon

Missing a catcher.

Have LHP Dave Williams, RHP Scott Williamson, and RHP Elmer Dessens
on 40, so maybe we could work a trade for one.

My least "root fors" would be Lidle and Jimenez. Lidle's already
out, and Jimenez had a pretty big error last night that seemed to jump
start the tiggers last night and threw Zito out of kilter.
