That's Dombrowski's job. I said that Trammell clearly doesn't know what he's doing and shows little aptitude for learning on the job. He is a moron. A new manager isn't going to change the Tigers' record much, but regardless, Trammell is a crap manager, that's all. They are better these past two years for two reasons: One, a team with a historically bad record always gets better the next year because that's the only direction in which a team like that can head and two, Dombrowski's moves. Trammell doesn't have a thing to do with it and, in fact, I would argue that he's costing us a game here and there. Bench Jockey-

This loss alone should cost Tram his job. Man, the TIgers blew it last night. This loss alone should cost Tram his job.

The team has been markedly better the last couple of seasons and anyone expecting more than a .500 ballclub this season is off his/her nut. Talk about wanting to win now! The Tigers just don't have all the horses they need to win the race. The lack of willingness of players to sign with the Tigers in the Free Agent pool ain't helping. Sacking the manager won't do any good. Get some better players and see what Trammel does with them.

He is excellent in the booth because he's very smart and really knows the game. He has indicated in the past, also, that he's keen on sabermetrics and stuff like that. He'd automatically be much better than Trammell, though I admit that is faint praise. Dierker is doing play-by-play for the Astros now.
