Trade Deadline Wrap-Up and More

31.07.2006 5 comments

Some opinion on the Tigers at the deadline and other thoughts… The deal that was made After some additional reflection on the Sean Casey trade, my opinion hasn’t changed greatly. I don’t think it is a bad trade by any means, but I agree with Beyond the Boxscores that it probably isn’t much of a [...]

Game 105: Tigers at Devil Rays

PREGAME Kenny Rogers against Casey Fossum. Game Time 7:15 POSTGAME: Well if this is what happens when I skimp on the pregame portion, I’ll write War and Peace each game. This one was simply ugly. Rogers was hurt by two, two run homers. Ledezma pitched okay in relief, but 2 more runs crossed the plate. [...]

Tigers get Sean Casey

31.07.2006 50 comments

The Tigers traded for Sean Casey from the Pittsburgh Pirates. They sent the Pirates minor league pitcher Brian Rogers. To make room for Casey, Chris Shelton was optioned to Toledo. Rogers had 62 K’s and only 14 walks in 60 innings as a 24 year old for Erie. I’m not sure of Rogers ceiling, but [...]

Game 104: Tigers at Twins

30.07.2006 45 comments

PREGAME: With a win today the Tigers would match last year’s win total, and a quick check of the calendar tells me it’s still July. Of course I’m not going to count the chickens in the pre-hatch phase of the post, especially with Johan Santana pitching for the Twins. With the series in hand, it [...]

Game 103: Tigers at Twins

29.07.2006 8 comments

PREGAME: Brad Radke has owned the Tigers for as long as he’s been in the league. But a lot of those Tiger teams just weren’t very good. That isn’t the case this year. The Tigers have beat Radke the two times they’ve faced him this year. In fact Pudge Rodriguez has the highest batting average [...]

Brent Clevlen recalled, Lewis out

29.07.2006 19 comments

My speculation in last night’s game post appeared to be sound. With the Tigers pressing needs for a pitcher seemingly put aside, and with a prety thin bench, Colby Lewis’ stay with the team was short lived. What was suprising was that Brent Clevlen was recalled. Clevlen was awesome repeating at Lakeland last year, and [...]

Game 102: Tigers at Twins

28.07.2006 21 comments

PREGAME: For the first time in a long time, a series has me nervous. As everybody knows, the Twins are ridiculously hot. They are winners of 34 of their last 42. They just swept the White Sox in Chicago. The Tigers will be facing 2 of the top pitchers in the American League. The Twins [...]
