I like what the Tigers are doing. Keeping six quality starting pitchers is smart, given that they have absolutely nothing but hopes and prayers in the minors. They've got good relief pitchers. If no closer emerges, they can deal for another arm in July. Too, the rotation may be so strong that the n...

I'm sure I'm being Mr. Obvious here, but just make Porcello the closer. His stuff would play up something crazy in the pen.
