Tigers agree to one-year contract with Armando Galarraga to avoid arbitration.

Just as soon, he's dfa:
http://www.foxsportsdetroit.com/01/18/11/Tigers-agree-to-terms-with-Penny-designa/landing.html?blockID=393174&feedID=3706

Sounds like Dombrowski is pretty confident he'll be traded soon. In order to do all this, he must have something in mind that brings back decent value - otherwise, why bother signing him in the first place?

Tigers and FS Detroit announced the 2011 TV schedule today. There will be 152 games on FSD's HD coverage this year! #tigers

The Tigers will also be featured as the FOX Saturday baseball game of the week nine times this season. #tigers

ONE GAME IS UNTELEVISED?!

That one game is probably going to be on ESPN.

...so, yeah.

I never get those Saturday games. Sucks.

ESPN doesn't broadcast Saturday games -- much less Saturday's in September.

TBS, then.

Very Funny.

Leyland sez Raburn will play LF exclusively.

We'll see.

^ lets see if he can hit like he did last year.

Leyland's never been the one to make good on his lineup comments. I think the way the roster is made up, Leyland's going to roll w/ the hot hitters.

This means that Raburn could see time at 2B and V-Mart could be behind the plate more often (so that way Boesch & Raburn can both be in the lineup and probably force Maggs to DH).

April lineup

Jackson, CF
Raburn, LF
Ordonez, RF
Cabrera, 1B
Martinez, DH
Peralta, SS
Inge, 3B
Sizemore, 2B
Avila, C

Kelly
Santiago
Wells
Boesch

Guillen - DL

(losers of Rhymes / Sizemore & Clete / Wells battles start the year in Toledo)

Ryan Strieby, Cale Iorg, and Andy Dirks will probably all make cameos at some point during the season as well.

Omir Santos is AAA catcher w/ St. Pierre as his backup.

Not so sure about Iorg. He was highly regarded when he was drafted and has been solid in the field, but exceedingly crappy at the plate. May end up with a bust label.

Not so sure about Iorg. He was highly regarded when he was drafted and has been solid in the field, but exceedingly crappy at the plate. May end up with a bust label.

Yeah, I didn't realize I forgot about Danny Worth. Iorg will make it to the bigs on his glove alone, but he'll probably never be an every-day guy. He's basically a modern day Ray Oyler.

Leyland continues morphing into Sparky Anderson, compares Rick Porcello to Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine.

Ryan Perry to DL with eye infection, Robbie Weinhardt up

Dirks and Sizemore are still hitting in Toledo. Raburn is a bit overmatched playing 2nd, you bring Sizemore up for Rhymes and Dirks up for Don Kelly and if Victor can come back reasonably soon the offense could be pretty passable.

C- Avila
1B Cabrera
2B Sizemore
3B Inge
SS Peralta
OF Jackson
OF Maggs
OF Raburn
OF Dirks
OF Casper
DH Victor

Magglio in RF tonight.

Manager Jim Leyland said he might give Avila a few starts at third base during interleague play, the Detroit Free Press reports.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Coke to pen, FurryBush to rotation

Coke needs to go through the pen.

Alburquerque goes on DL, elbow problems. Uh oh.

Carlos Guillen to Toledo.

Just for the record...I did NOT agree with DD signing Inge...Vinny was 100% behind it though.

The Tigers play in a terrible division.

2B Infante
C Avila
LF Dirks/Garcia?

I like him, but I will reserve judgment until I see what Vinny has to say. Ha!

NOW WE GET HIM! Damn, wanted this guy back when he could hit and field. j/k a lil bit.

Seriously, this dood used to give me a boner. A baseball boner... NO HOMO!

Would have liked this a lot better 5+ years ago.

At least he's been fairly durable, but he's what 36-37?

Yeah, I'm fine with the deal for only 2/$26M. We certainly need an outfielder and if he can even just play above average D that will help.....But he's right at the age when guys tend to fall off a cliff real suddenly. Hopefully we get at least a year out of him.

Great player... only problem is these old guys tend to be fragile.

Nice article on potential 2013 closer, Bruce Rondon.

@JimBowdenESPNxm: Tigers working on signing Stephen Drew to play SS then would trade Peralta to Arizona or Boston

Yow.

More like Nancy Drew, right guys?!

Fuck that, if he's healthy that's a huge upgrade.

Peralta did a really good job for us. Can't deny that. Or can you, Vin? Especially in the playoffs.

Report: Tigers talking with Rafael Soriano http://goo.gl/fb/NA9U3

Will never happen... The Yanks ain't gonna let him walk to the competition... this is a power play to raise the Yanks salary.
I'm comfortable with our young arms in the bullpen... just need to add a savvy vet with good movement.

Sick of this.

Omar Infante is out of Wednesday's lineup with a sore knee.

Advice: It doesn't sound like a major concern, so consider him day-to-day. Ramon Santiago will start in his place at second base.

Porcello's suspension reduced to 5 gamesholyfuckwhogivesashit

And now they time it around the All Star break so he doesn't need to miss a start.

That's it, I'm going to kick the shit out of ANYONE who doubts this team. Don't believe me? I've been training UFC lately you buncha morans.

Vinny said if I said jinxed this team again, I would be in deep shit with him. I don't want to get into deep shit with Vinny. So I'm acting like 'we' aren't for sure going to make it.

Matt Tuiasosopo has been claimed off waivers by the Diamondbacks. The #Tigers have reinstated Danny Worth from the 60-day DL.

tigers also declined option on Veras

These notes are from Friday, but I missed them at the time and thought some of you bros might have as well.

Good lookin' out, bro.

si, gracias muchacho.

@Buster_ESPN
Just a guess based on talk with teams/agents, but Joe Nathan would seem to be an absolutely perfect fit for DET, between team need, $, etc.

Fielder on the block?

I'd rather try and trade him sooner than later, and it already might be too late. We're going to have to eat a huge portion of it.

Prince loves eating huge portions.

MVP MIGGYC

^ YES!

How'd we do in the playoffs? Smh.

The #Tigers have named Omar Vizquel, Mick Billmeyer and Wally Joyner to the coaching staff.

Me gusta Vizquel.

"Billmeyer" doesn't sound irish to me.

Keep him away from Miggy.

Kinsler?

Right now I think we're almost hands down a better team than last year. A starting left fielder would be huge but fuck giving someone like Choo $150M.

We have a legitimately good defense right now. Not 'great' but the potential to have that be a big asset....makes the pitching staff that much better...

Omar's gone, you guy.

http://m.espn.go.com/mlb/story?storyId=10134537
