Starting Rotation

Whatever will the Tigers do with Kenny and Nate coming back. Everyone has been throwing out their expert opinions. Personally the dumbest one of all is putting Andrew Miller in the bullpen. I have heard that countless times and it is beyond me what good that would do. Personally, I think we should consider a six man rotation for a month or two. We want Verlander's arm to stay strong in Sept/Oct, we already had Nate get a tired arm, and by keeping Miller in the rotation it would be best to give him 5 days off between starts. As far as Maroth goes, I hate to see a long-time Tiger go, but however I understand why we would get rid of him. The bullpen is a possibility, and for those who say he did bad last year, well I believe it was because he wasn't fully healthy. The one thing I would still like to see is a demotion or trade of Grilli. He just isn't cutting it. Once Miner is back, Grilli should go. I wouldn't mind a bullpen of Miner, Maroth/Durbin, Ledezma, Byrdak, Seay, Rodney, Jones, and De La Cruz. Personally, I still think Ledezma will come through and be our 7th inning guy. Also look out for Bazardo, he did pretty good here in Detroit.
