Wow! '09 Tigs are PLAYIN' DA GAME! not trying to slug for the sky with every at bat, only to hit into DPs!

I love this small ball approach too. Squeeze play, stolen bases, couple of hit and runs. I really think we have a good ballclub this season. The addition of Anderson was a smart moove too! This guy can run! Wow! And he's hitting pretty good too at the moment.
