Ryan Raburn optioned, Alfredo Figaro recalled

after a start or two. Sborz?

…however he hasnt been hitting and we al know he is awful in the field…Combination of not hitting and not fielding spells doom for any player…Lets be real though he was on the team to hit and he wasnt doing that so I say see ya later.

I’ve been a big Raburn fan for several years now, but this seems like the right move. Boesch is the hot bat, Santiago is a viable backup 2B, and Raburn is no good in the outfield, so there really isn’t a need. And we definitely need the additional relief pitching with the way our bullpen has been taxed, and with the doubleheader today.

If he’s close, then Figaro goes down when he comes back

i say stay with Boesch until he stop hitting the ball & scoring runs..He dangerous so..Right now the Tigers needs he bat.

Figaro’s stats are here.
ERA: 2.55
WHIP: 1.274
BB/9: 2.5
K/9: 6.9

my perdictions for DH today will be dangerous,tigers lose 2,most definitely Bondo willn’t survive the 4th 0r 5th innings, as far the 2nd gameY,Porcella willn’t survive 5th 0r 6th eitherway , Yankees win when it is all said and done. my huge opinion!

Tigers hopefully, DH is rainout, their a threat of rain in Detroit,see what happens!

first guy I thought of. Let’s all say a quick prayer for our buddy David Tokarz, though, who lost his starting outfielder (over Jackson) today.

In all seriousness, Raburn’s bat was starting to win me over last year – hard not to take him seriously with the numbers he put up – but as Rob said in this thread, it appears it was just a fluke.

before the season end, Bondo & Raburn will be a ticket to never never land, not baseball at least for Bondo,too earily to tell about Raburn’s fate with the tigers!

Its kinda hard to hit and get a rythem when you dont have many chances or at bats. Which I believe is the problem with Rayburn. He played more the last season when carlos went down and played decent. I dont think it was a fluke. But, on the other hand something had to be done and I guess this was the logical choice being Kelly can also play infield/outfield positions as Rayburn and Kelyy has no options. He plays or he can leave the team. But, I would think the Fiagaro pitching here is temporary and another shoe will drop within the week. And I think boesch wll stay and they will bring up Jeff Larish. That will give us two extra outfilelders Boesch/Guillen and two extra infielders Santiago/Larish. Larish is hitting like 260 with 10 extra base hits 5 homers/5 doubles. I also think at this time they will send Avila down and bring up Robello. And before all you jump on me on how you like double AA, I do to. But, he needs to work on his offense. More at bats will do this in AAA. Rebello is having a decent season down in AAA. Its my team in my mind, and, these are the moves I would make.

Why couldn’t we have optioned Bonine for a game? There’s no need to carry 8 pitchers in you bullpen.
