The Knee Jerks: Eno and Big Al - Cabrera injured, Tigers doomed?

Eno and Big Al covewr a very bust week in Detroit sports in the latest episode of The Knee Jerks podcast.

Topics include:

-Miguel Cabrera is out of 6 weeks with a serious calf injury. Does Cabrera's absence doom the Detroit Tigers' playoff chances?
-Heading into next week's All-Streak break, the Tigers continue to hover around .500, are wracked by injuries and plauged by inconsisency. Should the Tigers kick the can on this season when the trade deadline arrives? Does a rebuild make sense when the division is still within reach and the wild card also in play?
-The Detroit Red Wings make a splash in free agency, signing defenseman Mike Green and center Brad Richards.
-Does Jeff Blashill replacing Mike Babacock as head coach make Detroit a more desirable location to free agents?
-The Wings buy out the last three years of center Stephen Weiss' contract, opening the door for 2014 first round draft pick Dylan Larkin.
-The Detroit Pistons selected Arizona small forward Stanley Johnson with the eighth overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, bypassing Duke’s Justise Winslow.
-Unable to entice any of the top free agent small forwards to even consider the Pistons, Stan Van Gundy pulled the trigger on a 3-for-a-draft-pick trade – SF Marcus Morris, SF Danny Granger and swingman Reggie Bullock arrive from Phoenix in exchange for a 2020 second round draft pick.
-As lhas been anticipated since turning down a long-term deal lasr year, power forard/center Greg Monroe bid adieu to Detroit by signing a max deal with Milwaukee.

All that plus the Jerk of the Week!
