Yes, and the Tigers are fortunate to have former Marlins player Miguel Cabrera as the anchor of the offense...Leyland calls Cabrera the most instinctive player he has ever managed - he has so much talent that he just knows what to do....Let's hope Cabrera can get a big game changing clutch hit tonight - but it wouldn't surprise me if AJ Burnett tries to pitch around him.

Yeah, Leyland isn't too bad a manager:

"James Richard "Jim" Leyland (born December 15, 1944) is a Major League Baseball manager, currently with the Detroit Tigers. He led the Florida Marlins to a World Series championship in 1997, and previously won three straight division titles ( 1990, 1991, and 1992) with the Pittsburgh Pirates. With the Tigers' victory in the 2006 American League Championship Series, Leyland became the seventh manager in history to win pennants in both the National and American Leagues. He is a three-time Manager of the Year Award winner, twice in the National League (1990 and 1992), and once in the American League in 2006."

Pretty impressive resume... should get him in the HOF, IMO...
