Are the Tigers insane??? Shelton might be slumping but sending him to the minors is stupid. Even with Casey aboard Shelton is outhiting Young, Monroe and Thames. Monroe and Thames are too young to be prospects and are not future stars. Shelton is too old to be sent to the minors and proved he had the talent to be in the Bigs. So at worst they could use Shelton at DH and to spell Casey. Not that Casey is having a great year. Shelton has outhit Casey all year as well. This may be a crucial mistake that destroys the Tigers. Not just this year but the next and down the road. There will be a time when the Tigers really want Shelton to sign for under market value and this trip to the minors is probably going to prevent that. You just don't treat a player who's doing well like that.
