Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

Justin Verlander, still the owner of baseball's 26th-best fWAR for qualified starters. However, third-worst in xFIP. #Tigers
 
Omar Vizquel is attending his son's graduation. Matt Martin will coach first base today and Sunday, according to the Tigers.
 
Brad Ausmus said Alex Avila feels fine and is available but he hopes to give him the full night off.
Ausmus: "Alex is good. Said he felt good. Said he could play. No headache this morning or anything. But he’s not playing." #Tigers
Head trainer Kevin Rand said Avila spent 30 min last night wearing a cryohelmet to cool head. He wears it every time he takes a foul tip.
Rand also said Avila will go thru entire pregame workout before he's cleared to play. Sounds like more caution than earlier thought.

Tigers draft Magglio's son in 38th round.
With the 2014 First-Year Player Draft winding down Saturday, the Tigers saw an opportunity to grab the son of former Detroit star Magglio Ordonez.

In the 38th round, the club selected the first baseman, who recently graduated from American Heritage High School in Plantation, Fla.

The elder Ordonez spent his final seven big league seasons with the Tigers. In that span, he made two All-Star teams and, in 2007, finished second in the American League MVP balloting.

He has since been elected mayor of Juan Antonio Sotillo Municipality in Venezuela.

The younger Ordonez was born in 1995, two years before his father's Major League career began. He was a common fixture in the Tigers' clubhouse during his father's Detroit tenure and will have a chance to climb the ranks of the farm system and get there on his own merits if he signs.
