Nova was not a top prospect, neither was GGBG. Cano wasn't highly thought of until he stuck at the big league level. Maybe it's the ability to learn without the pressure that comes with hype. Maybe it's that some players have skill sets that translate to MLB better than the raw talent that makes a Hughes or a Joba a top draft pick. Either way, I can't wait to see David Phelps on the mound as a member of the rotation.

I updated a chart I did earlier in the year yesterday. It shows the Tigers' record by starter and the number of wins and losses by a given number of runs based on starting pitcher. Scherzer's Friday start is not included so change his record to 17-10 and add another 3 run victory for the Tigers when you look at the graphic.
