Late Spring Roundup

26.03.2013 36 comments

Lots of news over the past 4-5 days. You’re already aware of these items, most likely, but here’s a little roundup to “put them in the paper,” so to speak: ROSTER MOVES: IF Jeff Kobernus was sent back to the Nationals. The Tigers retained the rights to Rule 5 LHP Kyle Lobstein by trading C [...]

How Time Flies

10.03.2013 83 comments

The Detroit Tigers are 8-7 in Grapefruit League play as of this writing and are having a rather good spring overall, statistically speaking. A few injuries and a few WBC excused absences are the only flies in the ointment at this point. We’re getting to the point where Spring Training starts to get interesting, or [...]

Will Brandon Inge Make the 25 Man Roster?

29.03.2012 29 comments

Should he and Will he are two different questions. Based on what I know of JL and his loyalty to veterans and unwillingness to change, I think Inge is a shoeo-in. Despite the fact that Dombrowski may be pushing the other way. But let’s see what we know: Turner, Strieby and Berry (and 3 others) were sent down [...]

Winding Down 2011

31.12.2011

Hello all – hopefully everyone is having a great holiday season and your bowl picks are hitting at better than 55%. Not too much today, just a few notes in case you missed them over the past week or so. (and thanks to a tip from Billfer I think we got a workaround on the [...]

Joel Zumaya to the 60-day DL, maybe forever?

18.04.2011 10 comments

(picture from www.freep.com) I’m not sure that this is news to anyone, but don’t expect Zumaya to pitch anytime soon, or this season, or perhaps never again. As unsurprising as this news is, it’s still difficult to swallow because I don’t think any of us will forget the magic he brought in 2006 nor what [...]

Dombrowski is “confident” he’ll trade Galarraga (UPDATED: Trade)

19.01.2011 15 comments

According to the Freep, DD is actively shopping AG after he was bumped from the roster today to make room for Brad Penny. Crazy, because they just signed him to a 1-year, $2.3M deal. Why sign him and then toss him like an old moldy bag of tangerines, you ask, Coleman? Here’s why. No one [...]

News and Notes: 11.30.2010

01.12.2010 19 comments

- Zach Miner has been designated for assignment. Assuming he clears (I’m sure he will), he’ll be a free agent on Friday. But the Tigers are likely to bring him back. He’s been a great spot starter and will be a good long man starting off in 2011. Good info on the rationale for taking [...]

2010 Offseason: The 2011 Rotation

07.11.2010 3 comments

Here’s what I see as set in stone, and what’s on the books for 2011: 1) JV – $12.75M 2) Scherzer – $~1.5M, arb eligible 3) Porcello – $1.536M, club option 4/5) Galarraga – under club control, but note that he’s Super-2 eligible thanks to a rather generously low hurdle this year (2 yrs, 122 [...]

2010 Offseason: Catcher

04.11.2010 3 comments

(shout out to Vince in MN) Yorvit Torrealba: 32/.271/.343/.378 Victor Martinez: 31/.302/.351/.493 A.J. Pierzynski: 33/.270/.300/.388 John Buck: 30/.281/.314/.489 Alex Avila: 23/.228/.316/.340 Buck is the cream of the crop, but he’s going to be pursued by quite a few teams, and 30 may be a little old for the long term deal that I’m guessing he’ll [...]
