He now has a .689 OPS. I think if he stays at low A for the remainder of this season, which he probably will, his OPS finishes really close to .800.

Tigers have acquired LHP David Purcey from Oakland for Scott Sizemore. Tigers have recalled Danny Worth from Toledo.

Sounds promising maybe?

Bleh, a 29 year old mediocre relief pitcher who's being traded for the second time in two months doesn't scream "promising" to me. That sounds like "giving up on Sizemore" to me.

Ya, realized that after i looked him up, but hey any bullpen help should be good with how bad ours has been doing, although seems like Oak got the better end of this deal

edit: Dombrowski said they've tried to get Purcey since last winter, and they didn't feel Sizemore was getting over the offensive hump.

I still don't see Purcey being that great, but it's a LHP in the bullpen at least

That looks awful to me at first glance. It's only good if worth ~= Scotty, which I jutting think is true at all.

This trade makes sense if the Tigers want to convert Purcey to a starter in 2012 (or maybe later this year, even). Otherwise... it's pretty damn stupid.

What the **** was that??? Is that the first time we've had a weather/advertisement bit pre-game or have I just missed it before?

I was gonna start following the game on gamecast from this hotel room, but it looks like it's already over.

Mr I needs to use his pimp hand and clean house. This organization is completely ****ing ******ed.

Seems like Porcello's slider just wasn't there today
Man Furbush is looking good though, 4 IP 2 H 5 K 0 BB? Really hope they start him over Oliver next week, unless Oliver looks this great too

got up early to grind the books so i can have beer in hand at 6:45pm to watch Oliver own. Need a win here with the Tribe on the skid. Glad we are done with Boston after this.

Leyland talked last night about Raburn....
"I think you can safely say he's going to be the 2nd baseman."
"To me, Raburn's season starts tomorrow."

Purcey was a starter in 10 and 09, so it's really not that far fetched. Seems like this deal, at a minimum, adds depth to the pitching staff.

We do have a ton of people who can play second base (Worth, Rhymes, Santiago, Raburn) at a mediocre to bad level. I thought scotty would eventually get his **** together, but it looks like we're giving up on him.

I completely forgot about Raburn....... hrmmm. Makes me like the deal a lot more tbh, if he's going to stick at second base. He's been a slightly above average hitter over his career, and that type of bat is pretty good for a second baseman atm.
