The Tigers have committed to Verlander, Bonderman, Willis, and Robertson to be the main part of the staff the next three seasons. All of them have the talent to pitch a whole lot better than they have this season. The Tigers were expected to have solid starting pitching. Galarraga has no experience in a bullpen and is not a long term solution to the starting pitching. He is good enough to be a starter in the majors, but the Tigers rotation is full because of contract committments.
Rogers is the only one who has turned his season around with three straight quality starts.
Willis is supposedly throwing with better control now. We just need to see it in live action.
Verlander's velocity has improved the last couple starts. I expect we will start seeing some better results soon.
Bonderman went from mid 90s to upper 80s and has lost his control. His slider doesn't have the same bite as it used to have. I wonder if is arm is really recovered from last seasons injury.
Robertson I don't want to talk about. I still don't understand the Tigers committment to him. He is a 4th starter in the rotation at best. His contract extension makes no sense to me.
