Bullpen taking shape, Sunday, March 22, 2009
The Tigers cut three more relievers this morning. Freddy Dolsi was optioned to
Toledo and Casey Fien and Fu Te Ni were assigned to the minors. The moves
reduce the number of players in camp to 42 and make the bullpen picture a
little clearer.
I am a little surprised they cut Fien today because he had pitched well this
spring. I wasn't really expecting the non-roster invitee to make the opening
day roster but I though he might be among the last cuts. Other non-roster
players with a chance to make the team are Juan Rincon and Ryan Perry. Both
have had strong springs. There is one spot free on the 40 man roster but, if
both were to make the team, they would have to open up another spot. Rincon,
with his past Major League success seems a good bet to break camp with the
team. I'm less sure about Perry.
There are three locks in the bullpen right now - Brandon Lyon, Fernando Rodney
and Bobby Seay. Joel Zumaya would also be a lock but he seems destined to start
the season on the disabled list. While he has had a rough spring and has not
been guaranteed a spot, I think Zach Miner will make the 25 man roster as well.
That leaves three more spots. I am going to guess that Nate Robertson gets the
fifth starter role and that Rick Porcello and Dontrelle Willis start the season
in the minors. I also expect Kyle Bloom, who has not had a great spring, to be
returned to the Pirates. I think Clay Rapada will be the second lefty out of
the pen and that Rincon and Perry will round out the staff.
If I am correct, then the opening day staff would look like this:
Starters
Justin Verlander
Jeremy Bonderman
Armando Galarraga
Edwin Jackson
Nate Robertson
Relievers
Brandon Lyon
Fernando Rodney
Bobby Seay
Zach Miner
Clay Rapada
Juan Rincon
Ryan Perry
