I didn't know a lot about baseball when I was 15. I thought Alex Rodriguez was the worst person in the world. I thought Jack Cust was a future MVP in the making. I thought John Stephens was going to change the way the world thought about pitching. I thought Mike Cameron was okay. I thought Darin Erstad was a flukey pile of crap. I thought Oakland was the model franchise, defense wasn't important, Gillick...

The Detroit Tigers shed one reliever from their roster by not tendering a contract to Aquilino Lopez by Friday's deadline for arbitration-eligible players.

So let me see if I have this straight: The Detroit Tigers left James Skelton off their 40-man roster, leaving him to be snatched up in the Rule 5 Draft - which he was - then subsequently decide against tendering a contract to Aquilino Lopez , thus clearing a spot that could've been used to protect Skelton. Why wasn't Lopez just left off the 40-man roster in the first place? Well, as it turns out, the...

MINNEAPOLIS -- Zach Miner walked four batters and threw 49 pitches in two innings Tuesday night. It was his third straight unsmooth outing.

Zach Miner paid the price for a 4 walk effort on Tuesday night with an assignment to Toledo. Aquilino Lopez who was being stretched out as a starter has been recalled to provide a strike thrower in the pen. Both moves are warranted, but my first thought when hearing of this was Denny Bautista. [...]
