If you have been listening to 97.1 The Ticket Wednesday afternoon, you have heard many opinions on what to do with starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez.

Wednesday afternoon, manager Brad Ausmus announced that Sanchez would be moved to the bullpen.

Sanchez pitched 3 innings Tuesday night giving up 6 runs on 8 hits. In 2016, Sanchez has a 3-6 record with a 6.67 ERA and a 1.67 WHIP. The Tigers are 3-8 in games that Sanchez has started this season.

After the Tigers' 11-9 loss to the Angels, Ausmus said, "I don't think he's real confident on the mound right now. We're going to have to make an adjustment with Sanchez, because we need better starts than that. And he knows we need better starts than that."

There is no word on who is replacing Sanchez in the rotation.

Who do you think should take Sanchez's place in the rotation?
