Helpful hints for Detroit’s long layoff

OK, so the Tigers have a plan for their pre-World Series respite: playing their minor leaguers.

Here are some unsolicited ideas:

(1) If the American League was serious about winning, wouldn’t they ask their best to scrimmage the Tigers? Bring in Trout, King Felix, Adam Jones, Fernando Rodney ... groom the Tigers for a team that, beyond explanation, will play like these All-Stars.

(2) Bunt fielding practice, for Pete’s sake.
