Trammell On Hot Seat?

Ken Rosenthal of The Sporting News and Fox Sports.com suggests Alan Trammell may be on his way out as Detroit's manager. Rosenthal thinks that Jim Leyland might be Tram's replacement.

I've been saying this for days, but I think Jim Leyland would be a good choice to manage the Tigers. I'm not so much in favor of canning Trammell, no one in Tigertown really is, but I am very much in favor of the Tigers adding Leyland.

Leyland wouldn't solve all the Tigers problems, but he would bring far more managerial experience including a championship under Dave Dombrowski in Florida. Between his run of success in Pittsburgh and the title with the Marlins, Leyland's credentials would put him amongst the elite skippers in the game.

The Tigers need to continue to upgrade the team and Leyland might be a part of that make-over.
