Last time the Tigers were in the World Series, back in 2006, they had a six-day wait after winning the ALCS and manager Jim Leyland thought it hurt their performance.
This time around Leyland will try to keep the Tigers sharp by having them play games this weekend against minor leaguers from their instructional league teams.
Leyland laid out the plans to ?Mike and Mike? on ESPN Radio this morning:
We actually have our instructional league team coming to Detroit and we?re going to play a couple of actual games Sunday and Monday and have a workout Saturday as well. We?re going to have our pitchers throw to hitters and we?re going to have our hitters face live pitching. So hopefully we?ll be a little more prepared this time.
That sounds like a good idea, unless of course a hitter pulls a hamstring or a pitcher tweaks an elbow, in which case Leyland will never hear the end of it. It should be a helluva thrill for all the minor leaguers involved, too.
