It's never too early to worry. I think they'll be fine, but most on the team have been struggling so far this seasson.

God I love seeing the Tigers on top and the White Sox on the bottom.

All things considered, I have to be somewhat pleased with the Twins at this point. I certainly haven't liked the last couple days, and their trip to KC was awful, but their starting pitching has been pretty good. If they can improve as the season progresses, they may compete.
In any case, this is much better than the last two seasons, when they were close to done by the end of April.

Tiger Happenings...
The Tigers have put left-handed reliever Phil Coke on the 15-day disabled list and have recalled right-hander Jose Ortega from Triple-A Toledo. They also reinstated outfielder Avisail Garcia from the 15-day disabled list and optioned him to Toledo, probaby to keep an eye on the foot. Anywy, Coke has been bothered by a left groin strain. To be honest, Coke is 0-3 with an 8.31 ERA this season with 10 strikeouts in 8 2/3 innings...been either really good or really bad - no consistency in relief. Offhand, I don't see Ortega being an improvement.
Is it me or have the Tigers been using Rondon sparingly since joining the team? I got to see him pitch last week and OMG! he is a big boy. While it's not a prerequisite for pitchers to be superfit, he is way too young to be that beefy IMO. Time to secure the Little Ceasars Pizza and the bullpen run laps.
In other news, Cabrera And Fielder combined for 55 RBIs in April, which is the highest total for a pair of major-league teammates during April since Miguel Tejada and Brian Roberts had 57 for the Orioles in 2005. Not too shabby!

Also, Bruce Rondon is Optioned to Toledo and Luke Putkonen is coming to the Tigers, who are headed to Houston tomorrow.
Rondon has not looked good since coming up to the bigs. Houston should be interesting, and odd, since they are not an AL team. Also what do we call this Luke Putkonen fellow...Poot?
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm glad we picked-up Valverde when we did because our bullpen would be in a lot worse shape if we didn't.
Still thinking that Houston's in the NL, was surprised to see Martinez in the line up tonight .... then realized that it's an AL game.
So far we are sitting at 7 innings and 3 earned runs. Now all we are missing is the win.
