CBS Detroit's Ashley Dunkak reported last week Rondon was "moving forward" after an underwhelming major league debut in April.
Phil Coke is as aggravated as anybody about how the Detroit Tigers – himself included – are playing right now.
Detroit Tigers fans may not have seen the last of Jose Valverde after all.
"That's a hot tamale," Torii Hunter said. "I remember that whole thing."
Not too often would rookie Jose Alvarez be considered a preferable option to Anibal Sanchez, a seven-year veteran with a 2.76 ERA.
The bottom line is that Detroit starters have lasted just five innings or fewer in four of the last five games. The last five starting pitching performances might have stripped some of that confidence – and with good reason.
As the top of the fifth inning dragged on for what seemed like forever Tuesday night, Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Rick Porcello had to be thinking, Not again.

As Cabrera's career plays out, the other Detroit players are very aware that they are playing with one of the best baseball players alive and probably one of the best ever.
"For me it hasn't been difficult because I'm alive, I have my kids, I have my family, my friends," Valverde said in Spanish. "What happens on the field stays on the field."
With both Yankees manager Joe Girardi and Phillies skipper Charlie Manuel manning the helms of their ball clubs in the final year of their contracts, many wonder if either or both will still be with their respective clubs the next year.
Valverde proceeded to give up two singles, a two-RBI double and a home run.
In five of his 15 starts so far, Verlander has only lasted five innings or fewer.
"I'm still going to use Valverde," Leyland said. "I just don't think you discharge him just yet."
Fans at Comerica Park Monday night got their money's worth. With the bases loaded and a 3-2 count, one of the American League's best pitchers stared down one of the league's hottest-hitting sluggers.
By and large, Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland is okay with the second-guessing.
136 players have hit at least 300 home runs. That's a fairly distinctive achievement in its own right. Of those 136, only eight have also won nine or more Gold Gloves.
