Jason Beck: The Tigers plan to have a pair of veterans back from the disabled list when they return home this weekend. Right-hander Danny Patterson threw what is expected to be his final rehab inning Wednesday for Triple-A Toledo and, barring any aggravation, will be recalled Friday or Saturday. Damion Easley, 1-for-16 through Monday in [...]

ESPN.com – Power Alley How is Jeff Weaver just 4-5 this season? His 2 SHO lead the league, he’s 7th in ERA at 2.92, his K/BB ratio is 2.2 and he has yet to give up a homer in 71 innings, but he plays for Detroit

Transaction Analysis Look, I appreciate the desire to improve, and I appreciate the desire to switch between one catching prospect and another when you have two of them, and I appreciate the perceived virtue of carrying an old backup catcher to show one of the younger catchers the ropes (theoretically, and assuming he’s a good [...]

Transaction Analysis However, in Dave Dombrowski’s favor, if Nate Cornejo hadn’t pitched his way off of the team, you can argue pretty convincingly that Adam Bernero has pitched his way onto it. In nine starts as a Mudhen, Bernero has pitched 57 IP with a 1.58 ERA, allowing only 46 hits and 13 walks, racking [...]

SportingNews.com – Baseball : Detroit Tigers The party line is that the offense’s high double-play total is because of a lack of speed, but that’s only one factor. One cause is a lack of plate discipline. Shane Halter, Young, Simon and Craig Paquette — all with a history of low on-base percentages — are among [...]

Thanks to Weaver, momentum changing for Tigers Seth Greisinger, Detroit’s starting pitcher in Saturday night’s game, believes Weaver is the catalyst to the recent mini-resurgence. “Right now, he’s carrying this team on his back,” Greisinger said. “He’s doing a great job.

May 22, 2002 – Transaction Analysis There’s good news here, which is a surprise. First off, the Tigers made a move towards fielding a baseball team instead of a third-rate softball squad. Now they’ll have a real third baseman (Chris Truby), a real shortstop (Ramon Santiago), and…well, they’re still short a real center fielder, but [...]

Roster notes:Matt Anderson is back on the disabled list, probably for at least two months. Also, Oscar Salazar was sent down to make room for right-hander Kris Keller. And, in a bit of a surprise move, Nate Cornejo was sent to Toledo and Adam Bernero was called up. Bernero has been pitching well for Toledo, [...]

Tigers win 6th in a row-Weaver takes no-hit bid into 8thI know that the Tigers are still the Tigers, but Weaver’s no-hit attempt was exciting. I was at class in a computer lab watching each pitch on the internet. I can’t remember the last time I was on the edge of my seat for each [...]

Sorry about the recent lack of postings. As you probably know the Tigers have won 4 straight, which makes them 4-7 in their last 11 games. Ramon Santiago has been a breath of fresh air, even though Halter is pissed about being replaced by a guy who was the DH on a Double-A club a [...]
