Leyland: Still A Lot to Like About the Tigers

Here's the audio from Jim Leyland's pre-game presser as we await tonight's game between the Tigers and the Indians here at Comerica Park.

Leyland's team is six off the lead in the AL Central and comes in four games under .500.  Detroit is three-and-a-half back of the second-place Indians in the division race.

It's almost surprising Leyland wasn't more upset than he appeared to be during this afternoon's media session.  I asked him what he likes about his team right now, and you can hear that question and the manager's answer somewhere near the mid to latter portions of the audio which is of about nine minutes duration...


22-year old Drew Smyly starts for the Tigers tonight while Ubaldo Jimenez (0-4, 9.54 lifetime here at Comerica Park) goes for the Tribe.  We'll be here to keep you posted on the evening's activities...
