Among the many moves the Tigers announced today is that SS Wenceel Perez is being sent to West Michigan. Praised for extraordinary hand-eye coordination, he's an athletic, hit-before-power guy.

Tigers shutting down Casey Mize after reaching his innings limit.
Detnews

They are excusing him from minor-league games after he started five times, spanning 13-2/3 innings, with his last four starts on behalf of their Single A Lakeland team.

Mize's arm and health are fine, the Tigers say. But after he threw 114-2/3 innings this season at Auburn, he has reached his ceiling, in his bosses' view.

"He's been throwing since last October, and he's wearing down, running out of gas," said Dave Littlefield, the TIgers vice president of player personnel. "As we said when he first signed, we wanted him only to throw 15 or 20 innings, something in that range, and we're very comfortable with the decision."

Mize was generally effective in his five starts, which featured six hits, 13 strikeouts, and three walks.

Brock Deatherage is making a name for himself in the Detroit Tigers system thanks to his sprinter speed and the fast start he?s gotten off to in pro ball. A 10th-round pick this year out of North Carolina State University, the 22-year-old outfielder is hitting .332/.388/.528, with six home runs and 16 stolen bases. On Friday, he was promoted from low-A West Michigan to high-A Lakeland.

We?ll hear more about, and from, Deatheridge on these electronic pages in the week to come. Today we?ll touch on who he is away from the baseball field.

?I?m a country boy from North Carolina,? is how Deatherage described himself when we spoke on Wednesday. ?I grew up on a dairy farm. My grandparents still have the farm ? we have about 500-600 cows ? and it?s been going for three generations. I?m a big-time go-getter ? I work my ass off with everything I do ? and I thank the farm for that.?

Deatherage earned a degree in agricultural business management at NC State, and he aspires to follow in the baseball-cattle footsteps of a prominent big-leaguer from his home state.
