First round of cuts, Porcello likely to start in Lakeland
By Deran | March 12, 2008
Bill over at Detroit Tigers Weblog has posted the first round of “cuts”. Now, these players haven’t been released, but sent to Minor League camp, as expected.
The Tigers trimmed the first 12 players from big league camp today. As expected Rick Porcello was among those sent out. What wasn’t a given was his destination. But now we know his contract was optioned to Lakeland.
The other players to be set to inor league camp are: Armando Galarraga, Macay McBride, Jeff Gerbe, Joe Bowen, Dusty Ryan, James Skelton,Jeff Larish, Danny Worth, Matt Joyce, Wilkin Ramirez, and Clete Thomas.
Those earning a longer look include infielders Mike Hollimon and Scott Sizemore.
Also of note here, it looks as if Porcello will be starting his Tigers career as a member of the Lakeland Flying Tigers! This is a big honor for a pitcher drafted out of High School. Most begin at either short season Oneonta or Low-A West Michigan.
