Bless You Boys Tigers Blog Podcast 133: Taking it one day at a time with Tony Paul.

Topics:
Tony Paul interview:
Have the Tigers plateaued under Dave Dombrowski's control?
Did the team explore making a manager change with the availability of Joe Maddon (who was named Cubs' manager on Halloween) and Ron Gardenhire?
Do the Tigers have any other options, or is Victor Martinez a must sign player despite his advancing age and demand for a four-year deal?
How will the bullpen be addressed? Is there a possibility the Tigers eat the final year of Joe Nathan's deal?
Torii Hunter is a free agent, and Andy Dirks was released by the team, only to be claimed by the Blue Jays. How will center and right be addressed?
Is David Price trade bait?
Will the 2015 Tigers remain an elite team or is it one in decline?
In the second half of the show, the guys discuss what they have been up to since the end of the Tigers' season, give their thoughts on the World Series and why television ratings were down, the busy day that was a Halloween Friday in Tigers' news, Miguel Cabrera's second off-season surgery in as many years, the frustration many felt when Dave Dombrowski refused to say much of anything during his post season presser, ponder what direction the team's payroll is heading and how that will affect the roster, which players will be trade bait, and of course

November 3 in Tigers and mlb history:

1926 - Ty Cobb resigns as Detroit Tigers manager after leading his team to a record of 79-75 and a sixth-place finish. Umpire and former Tigers infielder George Moriarty replaces him. Moriarty is the first man to hold baseball's four principal jobs: player, umpire, scout and manager. Cobb will sign a playing contract with the Philadelphia Athletics and will bat .357 during the 1927 season.

1934 - Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees won the American League Triple Crown after hitting .363 with 49 home runs and 165 RBI. Nevertheless, Detroit Tigers C Mickey Cochrane, who hit .320 with 2 home runs and 76 RBI, is named AL Most Valuable Player.

1942 - Boston Red Sox outfielder Ted Williams was the Triple Crown winner in the American League, but the Baseball Writers Association of America selects Joe Gordon as AL Most Valuable Player. Williams finished with a .356 average, 36 home runs and 137 RBI. Gordon of the New York Yankees led the AL in strikeouts (95), most ground balls hit into double plays (22) and the most errors at second base (28).

1953 - The baseball rules committee restores the 1939 sacrifice fly rule, which says a sac fly is not charged as a time at bat.

1979 - The American League and National League All-Star teams depart on an exhibition tour of Japan. The NL squad will take four of seven from its AL counterparts, but the teams will combine to split a pair of games with the Japanese All-Stars.
