Yeah 
Poor Clete - it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't for him. Leyland's philosophy really hurts guys like him:
"You hit, you sit" Then of course if you don't hit and you have options it's back to the minors. _________________ Coming soon: A better signature! |

| Meet Clete Thomas: The last Tiger to make the roster By JOHN LOWE • FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER • March 30, 2008
Some fast facts on new outfielder Clete Thomas, as provided by Thomas:
• He played in Comerica Park in a minor league game with the Class A West Michigan Whitecaps.
• In Little League, he was an infielder and pitcher. In high school, he was an outfielder and closer. From college (Auburn) onward, he has been an outfielder.
• He feels comfortable at all three outfield positions.
• Of all the people he told Friday night and Saturday morning that he'd made the team, he said the one with the most interesting reaction was his wife, Susie.
"She got all excited," Thomas said. "She didn't believe me at first. She was yelling. I lost it again when she started yelling. So it was pretty awesome."
Thomas learned from Leyland after Friday night's game that he'd gotten the open spot for a reserve player. _________________ There are three things in my life which I really love: God, my family, and baseball.

He NEEDS to remain a part of the team...even as DH. Sheffield sure doesn't astound me with his hitting. At least he gets a lot of walks.... |

Hey! to the boards! 
I agree though - Clete is too good to send down. Let him play through his hot streak and reevaluate from there. _________________ Coming soon: A better signature! |
