Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

Buckner released, Casey Fien designated for assignment

In order to make room for Jeff Larish and Will Rhymes on the 40-man roster, Billy Buckner and Casey Fien are the odd men out (info via the Tigers' official Twitter).

Since arriving in exchange for Dontrelle Willis from the Diamondbacks, Buckner has performed nothing short of awful in a starting role for the Mud Hens (3-5, 9.40 ERA in eight games).

Casey Fien had already bounced around all over the place during spring training because of a similar situation; a necessary roster move. His last performance in the majors wasn't pretty, though he hasn't been given much of a chance this year.

Good luck to him wherever he winds up, a lot of us at BYB are big fans of his.

Oh my!

That’s not good.

Granderson was my Tiger, then Sizemore, then Willis. Since they're all gone, I'm taking Raburn and hoping the pattern holds.

it's...well...something

If Cabrera sees anything at all worth hitting the Toronto pitchers should be mocked relentlessly. You could make the argument if Boesch wasn’t slumping, but otherwise … yikes.

Fans down the 3rd base foul line best wear a helmet...

…with Raburn’s propensity for kicking the ball around.

What's the difference between released and designated?

And, does it really matter?

Well folks, this should, at the very least, be interesting.

Chaos up and down the batting order, rookies everywhere, trade rumors, waivers, and 40-man roster moves. Even if we fall out of the race, my interested is still piqued.
