Dave Dombrowski runs out of time with Tigers owner Mike Ilitch - MLB - SI.com. SI gets to the point I was making when Dombrowski was fired, he was scapgoated for the results of the last three years, but the Tigers are not really making a change. I expect Avila's reign as GM will look much like Dombrowski's. One thing Avila needs to take a hard look at is the Tiger's farm system. #
