Jose Iglesias, the potential Omar Vizquel of shortstops (sorry, 'champagne of beers' was taken) might be out until after the All Star break. Maybe longer.

This ain't playoff hockey. No one has any reason to lie except Stephen Drew's agent, and if he had planted that rumor Dave Dombrowski would be debunking it like Sgt Hartmann in Full Metal Jacket.
This leaves a hole in the Tiger infield bigger than the one in Kurt Cobain's head (not too soon).
After a Red Wings season that just about had David Ogden Stiers and Loretta Swit singing the National Anthem

This is the last thing Detroit Sports fans wanted to hear other than "Kate Upton gets Justin Verlander to quit the Beatles". The Tiger pitching staff, whose ERA just went up a point each, would buy that kid cadaver shins if they could (on a related note, RIP Dr. Frank Jobe, who performed the first "Tommy John" cadaver ligament surgery on a major league pitcher, which is way cooler than getting Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis named after you).*
Anyway, this is really bad news. Duh. If the Tigers put Iglesias on the 60 day DL, and I'm assuming they will, Vegas will immediately change the over/under on Tiger victories this season. And I'll give ya a hint: It ain't gonna go up.
*I just set a world record for getting the most Nirvana and Yankee fans pissed off at someone in a single blog.
