Brandon Inge on DL

[kellmellus50]

The club also didn’t immediately announce what pitcher would come up from the minors to take the roster spot of Zumaya, who’s headed for the disabled list. Leyland said he doubted the new pitcher would be Ryan Perry, the Tigers reliever who is on the disabled list with shoulder tendinitis and who last weekend started a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo.

The next pitcher the tigers should bring up is ? my guess it should be (Casey Fien)

Yup, we just bought out the contract of Fien.

well we finally get to see the immortal Casey Fien. I know Kell is thrilled

very sad on Zumaya though....fractured elbow. Season over and i think career over after this. Not that he wont ever pitch again, but the days of 100 on the radar gun are probably over and he wont be the same pitcher ever again.

YEEAAAAAAAAAA.the mighty Casey is finally going to show why he belongs on the Detroit Tigers

[kellmellus50]

Casey 2 inn 1 hit against minny. I told you all how good of a pitcher he was.

[ElectricMayhem]

Sounds like someone is a little too happy Zumaya got injured.

It's a shame he could never really string together a career between his injuries. He had amazing talent and it was great to watch, even if only in small intervals.

[kellmellus50]

Injuries are part of baseball and you have to move on finding another good pitcher. Crying everyday about Zumaya is not going to make the team better.It is time to look forward to what Casey is doing now to help the tigers .Zumaya will be back one day next year.

[chrbal]

You do realize you can edit the topic name so that you can change this from what it is to say "Zumaya's out, Fiens in!!" Rather then have a new topic thread for every thought you have.

[kellmellus50]

OK.

Fien was one of the Mud Hens' most dominant pitchers

He didn't pitch in the Tigers' 11-4 loss Tuesday. But on Wednesday he was one of the bright spots in the 5-1 loss. He retired six of the seven batters he faces in the seventh and eighth innings and got four ground-ball outs.

That's my one-pitch out," said Fien, who learned the cutter from former pitcher Ricky Bones. "I've been throwing seven-pitch innings, six-pitch innings. I haven't been getting the strikeouts I usually get, but I will take seven-pitch innings. I've never been a ground-ball pitcher my whole career, but now I am getting ground-ball outs."

Buzz up!The Detroit Tigers today placed third baseman Brandon Inge on the 15-day disabled list with a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metacarpal in his left hand. The team also recalled right-handed pitcher Casey Fien from Triple-A Toledo.

Fien is going to be a short term solution. We obviously need to call up a position player. Jeff Larish anyone?

[RustInPeace]

I'd prefer to bring up Sizemore and move Guillen to 3B. Dude's raking in AAA, and this team could use more plate discipline. I know I kinda trashed the kid but I'm willing to give him another chance, and this is the perfect time for him to shine.

The Detroit Tigers today recalled second baseman Scott Sizemore from Triple-A and sent reliever Casey Fien to Toledo.

[ajaX82]

Guillen at third scares the hell outta me. Seriously.

And im sorry to hear about Casey kell. I hope your not taking it too hard

[kellmellus50]

DETROIT -- Scott Sizemore has gone from being the Detroit Tigers' second baseman of the future to its third baseman of the present. Although, he will not be the full-time third baseman at this time.

Tigers manager Jim Leyland said Sizemore will start Thursday and then rotate with Don Kelly before getting the majority of starts at third. Regular third baseman Brandon Inge is out four to six weeks with a fractured left hand.

The tigers can also trade for a 3rd baseman if they want to.

Florida’s Jorge Cantu (.261, 10 homers and 53 RBI) could be had cheaply and would fill the bill. Cantu is a very productive and reliable RBI producer and probably be had for a B-level prospect.

It would also allow Detroit to not overpay for an average shortstop at the trade deadline and focus on that position in the off season.

Other third base trade options could be Mike Lowell, Ty Wigginton and Pedro Feliz.
