*ITEM*
Austin Jackson went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and a walk Monday against
the Phillies. Jackson is working with a new stance in an effort to cut back
on the strikeouts, but it hasn't helped thus far. He's batting .242 with 14
strikeouts in 33 at-bats. The Tigers aren't about to move away from him in
center field, but they should consider dropping him to the ninth spot in
the lineup if he struggles next month.

LOSER
*Berliners. Decision to extend Action Jackson's contract looks worse after
every ST punchout. He can't steal first and Berliners desperately needs the
SBs to have any shot to compete this year. Berliners' chances to take home
the Damon *ARE DIMMING.*

*WINNERS
*Red Hots sense Berliners' vulnerability and begin process of packaging
Suzuki in season's first dump deal. Hosmer the Red Hot sounds just about
right.
Flaming Brats hope that Miguel Cabrera's on-base skills convince Leyland to
bat him lead-off, promising even more tallies in the runs department. He
just needs to keep balls from his face as he waltzes around the hot
corner.  But for now, the hopes of the Brats and Red Hots *SHINE BRIGHTLY.*
