Trimming the Roster Down

[ajaX82]

Rhymes has won the second base starter position. Sizemore to AAA. I liked Will last year, I'm excited to see what he has got. #2 hitter?

Clete Thomas will not be one of the reserve outfielders. Also to AAA. Boesch probably has a backup spot

Pitchers Fu-Te Ni and Robbie Weinhardt were sent down as well.

The Tigers made their final three cuts before today’s spring-training game against the Phillies, reassigning pitcher Adam Wilk and outfielder Andy Dirks to minor-league camp and optioning Danny Worth to Triple-A Toledo.

does that mean we are keeping Boesch and Wells? We have quite a crowded outfield

Yeah, our team has huge OF depth, and crappy IF depth. We also have good pitching depth. We have a logical imbalance of resources. And more quality starters at pitching and OF than we do at IF. It's bad baseball business to operate this way.

I posted a bunch of comments at detroittigertales.com on the roster, but didn't want to copy and paste all of it over here, is that allowed to mention another site? Or just blank out this post if its not.
