Wednesday, March 12th, 2008Bill 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. […]

Tigertown was relatively calm today, as players making the trip to Dunedin loaded the buses or left in their own vehicles between 8:00 and 9:00 AM. The only big name player to make the trip was Miguel Cabrera. The remaining players worked out inside the stadium for […]
