On what he thought went wrong in 2008 for the Tigers:
We just didn't play well, ever, really as a team. Individuals played well at times, but I don't think anybody played great. It's just one of those things, you look back and it's kind of shocking as a player that we had the finish that we did. There's a lot of things that could of changed, we didn't pitch well, we didn't play great defense, we didn't hit well early in the year. There's just so many things we didn't do well. We've just got to step back and figure out how to fix it.
"There's just so many things we didn't do well."? What did you do right? Magglio OrdoƱez, Miguel Cabrera, Placido Polanco, Curtis Granderson, and Edgar Renteria were the only hitters that did fairly well (you can include Pudge for while he was there, and Renteria and Rodriguez weren't great), and Armando Galarraga and Aquilino Lopez were the only pitchers who did well. Then, add on their terrible defense. Did they run the bases okay?
