Looks like Ausmus went with Phil Coke over Blaine Hardy. Phil is more playoff-tested, I guess, and Hardy did not pitch very well over the last few weeks of the season.

The inclusion of Hernan Perez is a bit of a head-scratcher. He barely played this year, and carrying 6 infielders when Don Kelly is one of your outfielders seems unnecessary. I would have added another pitcher in place of Perez.

Perez gives Ausmus more speed and an extra defensive replacement. If he puts Kelly in the OF he can use Perez at 3b.

Can't say I like the defensive replacement strategy but it seems to be Ausmus security blanket.

That list I posted wasn't complete. .....Sanchez is on and so is Perez. ...Hardy is off

Cool!

Hardy has struggled down the stretch. Didn't see the need to have both Hardy and Lobstein.

I thought the same but I read some stats compared to Suarez and in the last month they aren't even close.....Romine is like close to .300 and Suarez.200..…Romine hasn't made an error in forever..,neither one of them is good but the best of what we have.....

Suarez has been in the doghouse for awhile it seems.

Romine has been the superior shortstop for the Tigers in the 2nd half of the season for the Tigers by a solid margin over Eugenio Suarez. Romine has a .245/.279/.302 split in the 2nd half which isn’t much to write home about, but when you compare it to Suarez’s .226/.296/.274 split, Romine is clearly the favorite.
When you take more recent sample sizes, the split between Romine and Suarez is wider. In the 28 days, Romine’s split is .311/.354/.333 while Suarez’s is .200/.263/.200 and only gets worse in the last 14 and 7 days respectively. Suarez’s strength was his bat and extra base power when he was called up from AA Erie, and he has not hit for any power in the 2nd half. Suarez’s slugging percentage was .485 in June when he hit 3 home runs in his first 8 games, 1 in his last 77 games, and zero in his last 37 games.
Defensively, there is not much of a competition between the two. Evenly splitting time at shortstop, the eye test and traditional statistics favor Romine. Using traditional statistics, Romine committed 8 errors in 82 games with a .975 fielding percentage. Suarez committed 10 errors in 82 games with a .968 fielding percentage. It also seems that Romine generally gets to more balls, makes more plays, and looks generally smoother in the field.

Edge to Romine in range, hands, and feeds to Kinsler on double-play balls. Edge to Suarez in arm strength.

As mentioned, Romine hit .300 in September. Neither displayed much power if you take out Eugenio's June numbers.

Was about to respond in same manner. Hated/hate Romine but he was huge down stretch. Saurez really struggled.
