TIGERS | EUGENIO SUAREZ RECALLED
The Detroit Tigers recalled SS Eugenio Suarez from Triple-A Toledo Wednesday, June 4. Source: MiLB.com
BHQ take: Suarez reportedly will be given a shot to be DET's primary SS. He carried a .288/.360/.510 line in 198 minor league AB split between Double-A and Triple-A. His Triple-A line was actually better than his Double-A line, though in only a 43-AB sample. Suarez is profiled in our Call-ups column. DET's lack of SS production likely fueled this move. Andrew Romine's .204 xBA and 41 PX illustrate his hitting deficiencies. Romine slides into a reserve role, with former backup Danny Worth designated for assignment. ?Tom Kephart
Impact: High
Suarez, Eugenio PT Gain: 60%
Romine, Andrew PT Loss: -25%

June 7 in Tigers history:

1908 - The Detroit Tigers turn a triple play against the Boston Red Sox for the second day in a row, but Boston wins. The two tri-killings in two games is a unique major league record.

2004 - The Tigers draft Justin Verlander in the first round of the amateur draft. A pitcher from Old Dominion, Verlander signs a deal with the Tigers in October and makes his first big league start the following July. By 2006 Verlander is contributing to the Tigers and helping them to the American League pennant. Verlander had a year for the ages in 2011 with a 24 and 5 record, while leading the league in Strikeouts, earned run average, and several other pitching categories.
