This will be another year of redemption for serveral Detroit Tiger pitchers. Bonderman, Robertson, Willis, Galarraga, and even Zumuya are some of the pitchers who have to prove themselves this year. If not, they might lose there career in the majors, traded, or become a free agent. Four of the pitchers above are fighting for their spot on the Tigers pitching staff. Bonderman and Robertson have battled injuries the past couple of years and have lossed a spot on the starting rotation. Galarraga a couple years ago had an amazing debut and year, however he suffered a tough year last year and never seemed to have one good start except on opening week. Willis who has been on disabled list for most of the past two years because of an anxiety disorder had one great start against the Texas Rangers last year. But just after that one great start and the thought he had redeemed himself, he landed himself back on the disabled list with the same problem just after two horrific starts. Let’s hope the Tigers will get there moneys worth out of Willis. Finally we have Joel Zumuya. Zumuya has battled some embarassing injuries the past couple years. To our amaze, he hasn’t lost his speed. Hopefully, if used wisely, Zumuya can stay healthy and be a vital 7th or 8th inning relieve pitcher.
We have all seen what these pitchers can do, and if all of them do their job this year, they can easily pitch the Tigers to the playoffs. With them, we would establish one of the most feared pitching staffs in the game. They might not be the biggest named pitchers but a lot is at stake for them, and hopefully this will make them push themselves to be their best.
