With Jim Leyland Saturday night that Carlos Guillen is their second baseman and will play nine innings his decision proves to be more accurate.
The 35 year-old veteran is still a great hitter and defender but many thought he would slow down the double play. Since returning from the hamstring injury Guillen has had a hand in 11 double plays in 13 games.
So the speed issue can be put to rest so can his ability to still hit consistently, and not just because of his walk-off home run. He's batting .272 which isn't outstanding but he's got three home runs and a nine rbi's. And with the way the top half of the lineup is batting Guillen will have time to get comfortable in his permanent home on the field and in the line-up.
