The Jose Valverde situation is tricky, writes Free Press sports columnist Jeff Seidel.
It's tricky because the Tigers probably will need Valverde to win the World Series. They need him to get his swagger back. They need him to find that mojo, wherever it went.
So I have an idea: Do not boo Valverde when the Tigers return to Comerica Park on Tuesday night for Game 3 of the American League Championship Series.
I know. That sounds strange.
I can almost hear you: Dude, what you smokin'?
In the grand scheme of things, this suggestion might be a little outside the box, when most of Detroit wants to send Valverde to Alaska, or Kalkaska, or shoot, anywhere but the mound. But trust me, there is some method behind the madness.
So let me repeat: Don't boo him.
