"If you're not going to start the game, don't pitch him. It's riskier to pitch him on short rest than to send out Fister on full rest," Valenti said on his radio show Tuesday.
"I haven't really had a lot of luck with that in my career to be honest with you, bringing a starter out, but we'll see," Leyland said.

The Detroit Tigers playoff roster has yet to be officially finalized, but from manager Jim Leyland's comments to 97.1 The Ticket, it sounds like shortstop-turned-left fielder Jhonny Peralta is a lock.
