Avila and Lambert up

08.04.2009 58 comments

It’s almost like the Tigers got a bulk discount on a shuttle between Toledo and Detroit. Wilkin Ramirez’s stay in the Detroit was very brief and expressly for the purpose of facing Brian Matusz. Chris Lambert will replace him on the roster. But that’s not all my friends. We also have a lefty catcher in [...]

Wilkin Ramirez recalled

08.04.2009 40 comments

The Tigers have called up Wilkin Ramirez. Ramirez is hitting .316 with 6 extra base hits and 5 walks in his last 10 games…with 13 strike outs. Casey Fien was optioned out. Fien had an impressive debut coming in with the bases loaded against the White Sox, but he struggled in Cleveland this weekend.
Those are [...]

Casey Fien had his contract purchased and will join the team tomorrow. He’ll technically take the place of Eddie Bonine, but practically take the place of Freddy Dolsi.
Fien has been nails for the last 2 months and since the end of May he has pitched 23.2 innings with 28 strike outs and only 7 walks. [...]

Freddy Dolsi optioned out

07.24.2009

Freddy Dolsi was optioned to Toledo folowing the game to make room for Eddie Bonine. My money is on Zach Simons to get recalled following the game if Bonine is optioned back out.

Clete Thomas recalled

07.07.2009 16 comments

Per Jason Beck on Twitter Clete Thomas has been recalled and Don Kelly has been designated for assignment. The recall of Thomas is something that I’ve actually been expecting for awhile. He fixed his swing in relatively short order and in his last 28 days he’s hitting 357/432/476. He is still striking out quite a [...]

Figaro has shorter leash than Willis

06.28.2009 6 comments

That didn’t take long. Alfredo Figaro is being bounced from the rotation and Luke French will make his first career start Friday night at the Metrodome. Figaro heads to Toledo, so he still ends up with a promotion in the deal.
Figaro did struggle in his 2nd start, and he pitched out of a number of [...]

Clearing my mind

06.24.2009 10 comments

Editors Note: Sorry for the lack of a cohesive post here. Things have been busy lately and while some of these topics might warrant a post, I know it won’t happen in a timely manner. Instead you are stuck with this concoction of stuff.
The Tigers really need to make a point of announcing Alan Trammell [...]

He allowed a homer to Manny Ramirez to straight away centerfield on his first pitch
He threw a pitch over everyone on an intentional ball
He failed to [...]

Perry optioned to Toledo

06.21.2009 8 comments

On the heels of a game where he only retired 1 for the 4 batters he faced while protecting a 5 run lead, Ryan Perry has been optioned to Toledo. Unlike his last optional assignment where he was squeezed by roster maneuvering, this one seems to imply the Tigers have some things they’d like him [...]

Dusty Ryan coming to Detroit

06.19.2009 10 comments

UPDATE: The news is now official per tonight’s game notes. Sardinha has not been removed from the 25 man roster. The Tigers had an extra spot when they DL’d Willis and they haven’t formally recalled Figaro yet.
Detroit Tiger Tales has the scoop that Dusty Ryan has been called up to join the Tigers. The guess [...]
