    Trammell did a good job with that team tunring it around. I blame moves made in the offseason not working out. Percival and Ordonez were huge losses for this team. That's not Trammell's fault.

    Word is Jim Leyland is up for the job. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2179572

    Huh? Never had a chance? Dombrowski and Illitch didn't go out and invest money into bettering the team. The Tigers hit a brick wall, and truthfully they weren't going to go any further as a club with Trammel as manager. Ordonez and Percival didn't hurt the team. Inconsistency hurt the team. When the Tigers were at their best they look like they could've gone to the playoffs, but sadly enough they didn't play like that consistently. It was no ones fault, it was just time to part ways with Trammel so Tigers could move on with a more experienced manager. I predict to see Trammel in the future managing elsewhere. He made mistakes, but this was his first manager job. I wish him the best.

    Ordonez's and Percival's injuries added to the inconsistency not to mention injuries to White and Guillen. Trammell had one of the biggest turn-arounds in history.
