Detroit Tigers Team Notes

Tigers continue shift in scouting department
Tigers assistant scouting director James Orr, David Chadd's top lieutenant in the club's Draft efforts for several years, was named as the team's East Coast regional crosschecker, the team announced on Tuesday.

The move comes a year after Chadd became a special assistant, and Scott Pleis was named scouting director. Orr was hired as assistant scouting director in 2004 at the same time Chadd was hired. For the moment, that leaves the assistant position open; the Tigers are actively searching for someone to fill the job.

The shift was part of a series of moves in the scouting department announced Tuesday, the day after the Tigers named Dave Owen as their new player development director. Murray Cook, who had been the East Coast crosschecker, has been named as an area scout in charge of central Florida and the Northeast.

Matt Lea, an intern with the Tigers scouting department this summer following the end of his pitching career at the University of Louisville, has been hired full time as an area scout covering Southern California and Hawaii. He's the son of former Major League pitcher Charlie Lea.

Detroit Tigers Team Notes

September 21 in Tigers and mlb history :

1922 - The American League reinstates the MVP award, last given in 1914, appointing a committee of one writer from each city, headed by I.E. Sanborn of the Chicago Tribune. As a player-manager, Ty Cobb is not eligible, and the trophy goes to George Sisler. The National League will pick up the idea two years later.

1935: The Detroit Tigers clinch the pennant with a double win over the St. Louis Browns, winning 6 - 2 and 2 - 0. Elden Auker wins the nitecap with a complete game shutout, while Tommy Bridges takes the opener.
The Tigers will coast the rest of the way going 1 - 6, while the Yankees go 6 - 1.

1940 - With the Tigers, Indians, and Yankees neck-and-neck, the Tigers boost their lead to 2 games, as Schoolboy Rowe shuts out Cleveland 5 - 0. Rowe, seemingly washed up after anchoring the staff through Tiger championships in the mid-1930s, will finish at 16-3.

1972: The American League East is in a virtual tie as Detroit's Joe Coleman posts his 18th win, a critical 10 - 3 defeat of first-place Boston. Coleman strikes out 10 and knocks in three runs.
