Thank God! I really thought the Tigers would take Armando Galarraga out of the rotation which would have been more of a mistake than not remedying their bullpen this offseason. Coming into the season, I felt the Tigers would struggle (not this much) because of their bullpen. However, so far, their offense has been, well to be corny ... offensive, and their starting pitching has been as inconsistent as the stock market. Yet, Galarraga has been like oil, and his stock just keeps going up. As of right now, Galarraga sports a 3-1 record with a 3.06 ERA. He's been dependable. Maybe the Tigers should cut their losses and get rid of Nate Robertson instead. Robertson's been terrible not just this season (1-6, 6.08 ERA) but his entire career (43-60, 4.63) with the exception of his 2006 aberration (13-13, 3.84). Maybe terrible is a stretch as he's been durable and close to 200 innings the past few seasons, but he's not as good as people sometimes make him out to be.
