Hopefully he is mature enough now, that this will not be the case. -Sam Durbin has a habit of having good springs followed by lousy regular seasons at the ML level.

Like I've said before if Kenny was to never pitch again, we still would have gotten more than our money's worth. Only 1 start, but if you check out Durbin’s career stats (most of which are pretty ugly) his line against Toronto is phenomenal and his best by far - 3GS, 2-0, 20.33 IP, 14 hits, 4runs, 2hrs, 7BB, 15Ks, 1.77 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, .192BAA. He will probably be shifted to the 5th slot b/c you don't want RRRLL. Then again Toronto’s starters are as follows 1) Reed Johnson - bats right 2) Vernon Wells - bats right 3) Alexis Rios - bats right 4) Troy Glaus - bats right 5) Royce Clayton - bats right 6) Aaron Hill - bats right 7) Frank Thomas - bats right 8) Greg Zaun - bats switch 9) Lyle Overbay - bats left That’s very right-handed heavy, maybe Durbin should take Kenny's spot also considering that Robertson and Maroth have struggled against Toronto in the past...

That’s very right-handed heavy, maybe Durbin should take Kenny’s spot also considering that Robertson and Maroth have struggled against Toronto in the past…

Until that happens, which won’t be any sooner than April 9th since the move to the DL was made retroactive to March 25th, Chad Durbin will be the fifth starter and Bobby Seay will be brought north with the Tigers. As Billfer pointed out, Seay can be brought on to the 40-man DL without losing anybody since the Tigers can just move Campusano to the 60-day DL.

This could cause him to feel excessively sore. Hopefully this is just precautionary. As far as the rotation goes, I say leave Durbin in Kenny's spot and pitch 3 right handers against Toronto. If Rogers is only going to miss one start, we will not have to pitch 3 righties in a row against another team where such a matchup would be unfavorable.

Guys throw alot during the spring, but not much more than they will during the season. You think at his age, he would know what he'd need to do to avoid that. But hopefully it's just what they said and he'll just miss one start. But not a good sign. This really doesn’t sound good at all.
