Just noticed this...

The Tigers brought Kirby Puckett up for the last week of July, and he DH's and collects hits in his first 5 games.

So what do they do? They dealt him to Philadelphia for 3B Terry Pendleton and a relief pitcher. Granted, the Tigers needed a 3B to replace Kevin Collins NOW, but Puckett's upside looked very promising.

Another reason that when the Tigers completely crash, they will crash hard. Right now they are still riding halfway decent on a couple flats.
