[Tigerbomb13]

The fact that they have not stretched out Peralta is puzzling.

I would say this is comforting, but we also have a guy on the IL with vertigo, so....

it's called Beau Burrowitis.

I guess Peralta did not want to come back.  He wanted to be a dancer but was unwilling to start at the bottom, so he came back.   It's always good to have a backup plan.

I suppose that is good news about Manning, could definitely have been worse.

Never get the extra peppers on a Tony Packo's dog before doing anything athletic.

Or try to hangout all night at one of Deuce's many underground establishments in Toledo.

They might break him.

They might as well pitch backwards in some games.  It’d be easier to get some of the BP regular reps.

Not bad...send Soto out for the first inning.

That could make it easy as a fan to decide whether this thing is worth watching for the remaining 8 innings lol

So who will get a call up first, him or clemens?

A pitcher.

The fact that Davis can play short would seems like a vote in his favor.

It's actually a pretty good pickup for a waiver wire selection.... ranked out as LAA's #20 prospect per Pipeline.

This will be 5 out of 8 years the Tigers have ended in 5th place (I have no hope this year).  6 years in a row under .500 (still has a way to go when they were under .500 for 12 straight years right when Illitch bought the team.  Avila's strategy of sucking for a decade probably isn't going to gain a lot of fans.

Never would have guessed that.

Let's all remember this season when down the road it looks like we are set with our rotation in the offseason and somebody suggests a pitcher or two to go after and people turn it down cause "we are all set with pitching" or "theres no room for him.".

let's remember it for the next draft and the choice is between a high school pitcher and a position player.

The tigers org can pivot away from this disaster because they don’t have many long term payroll obligations.

But they need to fill at least 5 lineup positions with very little help in the high minors.

are other teams experiencing similar, of not as much, injury issues?

I won't discount a rushed spring training.

 

We are in the top five in total days according to Spotrac.

YES!  You can never ever have too much pitching.  

And the Tigers are proving that out with their hitting. 😁

[mtutiger]

Al Avila, the Tigers' general manager, was present for each of his high-profile prospects’ at-bats and liked what he saw.

“Next week, at some point, we’ll re-evaluate them,” Avila said afterward, “and if everything checks out, they’ll probably be able to play in some games toward the end of the week.”

Those games, Avila said, would be minor-league rehab stints somewhere in the Tigers' farm chain that precede a return to regular duty: Greene in Detroit, Kriedler at Toledo. Such a timetable could mean an early-June return for each player.

Avila emphasized those rehab missions remained a “possibility” that would be postponed if there were any setbacks.

“We’re not going to let those guys play in any games,” he said, “unless they’re 100%.”
