Jim Leyland changing his lineup before game four appeased a lot of Tiger's fans.
It's safe to say that most Tigers fans like the acquisition of shortstop Jose Iglesias.
On a pitching rotation that includes All-Star Game starter Max Scherzer, ERA champion Anibal Sanchez and 2011 Cy Young and MVP winner Justin Verlander, one can easily be overlooked.

Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland made a decidedly uncharacteristic move Wednesday.

Rather than worry about the lack of offense, though, the Tigers simply credited John Lackey.
After a season of relative chaos, Justin Verlander finally looks settled in.
