The Voice of the Turtle, Episode 9: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

In this week's episode, Rob and HookSlide talk about the biggest news in Tigers-dom: Tom Gorzelanny's new arm angle and whether Neftali Feliz should be tendered a contract. Oh, and that whole thing about Ausmus returning next year, too. They also look east to discuss the feud that went down in our nation's capital between Jonathan Papelbon and Bryce Harper, and point out the key differences between the still employed Brad Ausmus and newly-fired Matt Williams.

• Pick protected!
• Why the No. 9 overall draft pick is a good thing
• J.D. Martinez didn't hit 40 homers, but that's OK
• Daniel Norris threw 54 pitches in an inning and everyone hated it
• Tom Gorzelanny, Neftali Feliz, and other players we don't want to see in 2016
• Guess who's back? Back again. Ausmus is back. Tell a friend...
• Does Al Avila need to Ausmus-proof the roster?
• Which teams will (not) win the World Series
• Jonathan Papelbon and workplace etiquette
• Listener questions!
• Rest in peace, Buck Farmer
• The Tigers' new direction
