White Sox Add Andruw Jones to Crowded Veteran Bench
The White Sox seem to be going about their off-season in reverse. They're lining up their bench pieces to a team that still lacks two (or three) legitimate full-time major league position players. Today, they've reportedly signed Andruw Jones to a 1-year, $500K incentive-laden deal to fill out the...
Morning Prowl: Guillen's Switch-Hitting, Porcello Watch, the Double Play Monster, and Crosby's Blister
Carlos Guillen has given up on switch-hitting for the year, according to Jason Beck. Batting right-handed is still uncomfortable for him, and Guillen is worried that if he pushes it, he could hurt that right shoulder again. Sounds good here. No sense in taking a risk, since Guillen has been...
Don Kelly Called Up, Along With Armando Galarraga
As already mentioned in the comments of our last post, (and reported by Jason Beck), Don Kelly has been added to the Tigers' roster. He was called up from Triple-A Toledo along with Armando Galarraga, who's recovered from his elbow inflammation and will start tonight for Jarrod Washburn. Kelly hit...
Bonderman Among Tigers' Six Minor League Call-Ups
The Detroit Tigers will add six players from the minors, once rosters can officially expand tomorrow. Pitchers Jeremy Bonderman, Eddie Bonine, and Casey Fien, along with outfielder Wilkin Ramirez, catcher Dusty Ryan, and shortstop Brent Dlugach, are the minor league call-ups. Jason Beck reported...
Not So Sweet on Clete?
At The Spot Starters, Blake doesn't understand Tiger Town's love for Clete Thomas (comparing it to the adoration so many have for Brandon Inge). In particular, he calls me out for driving the bandwagon with the whole "Cult of Clete" movement. Clete Thomas is turning into a cult hero in Detroit...
Morning Prowl: Missing Miner, Magglio's Contract, Outfield Defense, and Grandy's Slump
So as it turns out, the Detroit Tigers weren't one man short in their bullpen on Tuesday and Wednesday. They were down two relievers. The relief corps was already at six, as you know, after Eddie Bonine was sent down to Toledo to make room for Aubrey Huff. But Jason Beck reported yesterday...
Morning Prowl: Bench Armando, Imitating Seay, Guillen in Left, and Bullpen Prospects
Lynn Henning says he would be surprised if Armando Galarraga makes his scheduled start Wednesday night in Boston. Not because he's hurt, but because he's not giving the Tigers a chance to win when he pitches. Henning speculates that either Zach Miner or Chris Lambert will toe the slab, as Mario...
The Alex Avila Era Now Begins
The Detroit Tigers' 8-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles quickly became the second story of the night, as the team announced several roster moves following the game. Hello and goodbye, Wilkin Ramirez. He was sent back down to Toledo, along with catcher Dusty Ryan. Pitcher Chris Lambert takes the...
Wilkin Ramirez Recalled; Casey Fien Demoted
Per the Detroit Tigers Game Notes, outfielder Wilkin Ramirez has been recalled from Triple-A Toledo. To clear a spot for him on the roster, reliever Casey Fien was sent back to the Mud Hens. There were rumblings this afternoon (via Twitter and elsewhere) that the Tigers were getting ready to make...
Morning Prowl: Guillen in the Outfield, Who Gets the Call-Up, French Loves Seattle, and Going to Bat For Lloyd
I'm a couple of days late with this, but Jason Beck reports that Carlos Guillen is throwing the ball well and might be ready to play left field by the end of the week. To me, this presents yet another example of how superficial coverage of the Tigers can be in Detroit. I'm not criticizing Beck....
