Placido Polanco Regains His Gold Glove
If 2009 was Placido Polanco's last in a Detroit Tigers uniform, he leaves with his head held high and his fielding glove golden. Polanco was awarded the American League's Gold Glove at second base today, the second time he's won the honor in the last three seasons. He committed only two errors...
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...
Larish Done For the Season
Anyone expecting to see Jeff Larish rejoin the Detroit Tigers next week when rosters expand is going to be disappointed. As was first reported in the Toledo Blade (and passed along by Jason Beck on his blog), Larish will undergo season-ending surgery on his right hand and wrist. Larish had been...
Tigers Get Aubrey Huff From Orioles
On their off-day, the Detroit Tigers went shopping. And not only did they find the extra bat they've needed for the past couple of months. They may also have found some relief for Brandon Inge at third base. (This might even help them keep Magglio Ordonez from triggering his $18 million option...
Morning Prowl: Lyon Gets Love, Inge's Fill-In, Unsigned Draft Picks, and Cabrera's RBIs
With today's off-day giving us a chance to take a breath, there's also a chance to reflect. Mack Avenue Tigers takes the opportunity to look at Brandon Lyon, and how well he's pitched over the past three months. How well? He has a 1.34 ERA since May 13, and hasn't allowed a run since the...
Could Bill Hall Provide Infield Help For the Tigers?
Brandon Inge says his knees (particularly his more painful left one) are feeling better, thanks to a new treatment program. (It all sounds sort of Zen, with focusing on other things to block out the pain.) And perhaps his four hits over the weekend indicate that he's learning how to play with his...
Lunchtime Prowl: Miggy's Future in Detroit, Interest in Josh Anderson, and Should Polanco Be Back?
Don't you try to manage our expectations, Dave Dombrowski. "Not much going on," he says. Double-D's trying that reverse psychology thing on us, right? Right? Is Lynn Henning being mistreated in the Tigers' clubhouse these days? Suddenly, he thinks everyone should be traded. Last week, it...
Was Today's Mariners-Pirates Trade a Precursor to Another Deal?
So I'm little behind on the MLB trade news of the day, having been nowhere near a computer since about 7 a.m. (I actually thought the Tigers would surely make a deal while I was on internet silence, since that seems to be my curse as a sports blogger.) But after looking over the deal that the...
Who Could the Pirates and Tigers Be Talking Trade About?
According to MLB.com beat writer Jen Langosch, the Pittsburgh Pirates have been scouting the Tigers "every day since last Tuesday." Larry Corrigan, a special assistant to Pirates GM Neal Huntington, apparently extended his stay in Detroit through this weekend's series to get an extra long look at...
Dave Dombrowski, You Have J.P. Ricciardi on Line Two
Over in Toronto, any cell phone conversation Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi has these days is going to attract attention from nearby media. After all, he's got the proverbial belle of the trade deadline ball in Roy Halladay. But in a sidebar anecdote, Jesse Campigotto of CBC Sports...
