Close call

Just a quick note to comment on this article I saw on the Tigers' website:

Verlander intense in BP session

Apparently, JV threw a simulated game today.  From the title, we can gather that JV was being "intense," even in spring training he's at full force!  Cabrera didn't swing at one point.  He claimed "I want to save my bat."  Translation: I don't want to look like an idiot trying to hit JV in front of all these fans and reporters.  You just better hope neither one of you is never traded Cabrera...
So rookie Avisail (I can't wait to hear broadcasters try and pronounce this.  It's like when people mispronounce Polanco's name and it doesn't like placebo) Garcia gets up there and hits a ball that "whistled past Verlander's feet."  Seriously, someone pull the new kid aside and tell him the drill.  JV is the one that brings home the bacon.  He's your money maker.  Ya, you go out and maybe make it to the show at some point, but JV is getting a W every 5 days.  It's paying your salary!  Don't ruin this for us!  Next time instead of trying to impress everyone, just stand their like Cabrera and avoid looking like an idiot.  That's how you make it as a Tiger.
Behave "young man" or we'll send you back to Grand Rapids, where dreams go to die.
