CLEVELAND -- Tigers manager Jim Leyland finally commented on shortstop Jhonny Peraltas 50-game suspension. And in true Leyland fashion, his remarks were to the point. "I will say we will miss Jhonny Peralta and thats the end of it," Leyland said before Detroits game against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night. "Im not going to discuss it any further. I do owe you that comment, I think." Shortly after Peralta was banned 50 games by Major League Baseball for his involvement in the Biogenesis scandal on Monday, Leyland told reporters to leave his office after he was asked to comment on Peraltas suspension. General manager Dave Dombrowski had told media members he would be the teams lone spokesman on the matter. Leyland said he wasnt comfortable addressing Peraltas complex situation. The two-time All-Star was one of 13 players disciplined in baseballs most sweeping punishment in nearly a century. "I was not going to make comments on stuff," a relaxed Leyland said, sitting at his desk holding a bat before batting practice. "Youre talking about legal issues and everything else. Thats silly for somebody like me to be making comments about that. Im not going to do it. Im not going to get trapped into that." Leyland felt it was best to leave the Tigers comments on the matter to Dombrowski, who spent 10 minutes addressing the situation in Detroits dugout before Mondays series opener. Leyland thought it was disrespectful that he was asked about Peralta after media members were informed he would only talk about on-field issues. "We tried to have one spokesman and we tried to eliminate as much bombardment of the players as we could because we are here to play a game," Leyland said. "Thats why Dave was the spokesman and thats why we werent going to get into any discussions about that in here. Its also a no-win situation to start talking about that. "Some managers have made comments about it. I choose not to because I dont think thats my place. Nothing good could come out it in here because you dont know details. You dont know facts. You dont want to start popping off because you dont know what youre talking about, particularly when its something of that magnitude." Leyland is confident that his Tigers, who have won nine straight and have a four-game lead over second-place Cleveland entering Tuesdays game, will remain driven and wont be distracted by Peraltas absence. "They did a great job of maintaining their focus pretty good on an uncomfortable day for you and me and the players and everybody else," Leyland said. "They did a terrific job of keeping their focus on the task at hand because it was not a fun day, obviously, for baseball."
