Defense in Center
A ball just dropped between Jason Kubel and Torii Hunter because Torii didn't do his job as a centerfielder and try to catch everything. He jogged after a ball he thought Kubel could catch, rather than running full speed and calling Kubel off. Kubel thought Hunter would get the ball, and it fell for a hit to put runners on first and second with one out.
Update: Santana gets a strikeout and ground out to end the inning. No score at the end of two in Detroit.

Torii just doesn't have the legs that he once did. He is just an overpaid centerfielder now.
Hunter hustled to get to several fine catches against the Indians last week. He sure did not look like he had lost any speed then.
