Panic or Patience Revisited

With today's loss in Arizona, the Tigers now have the poorest record in the American League, 17-24 for a .386 winning pct.  Seattle is next poorest at 18-27 for a .400 winning pct. .  The brighter side is that the team is only 6 1/2 out of first in the division.

Back in April I posted a poll with the choices being  Panic or Patience.  The vote was 59% for Patience and 41% for Panic......  I just thought it would be interesting to test opinions again.

It's too early for panic, but too late for patience. Some changes need to be made and soon. The starting rotation has been a nightmare. Galarraga has given us some good outings, but even his walk totals are rising. I'm hoping the quality starts from the last week are a sign of what's to come. The every day lineup isn't performing in the field or with the bat. Any changes need to start with Sheffield on the DL. I don't care what his salary is, he doesn't get back on the roster til he proves his shoulder is healthy.
