Detroit Tigers Team Notes

November 10 in Tigers history :

1888 - In Detroit, MI, a club is organized to compete in the International Association next season to take the place of the disbanded Detroit Wolverines, fifth-place finishers this past season in the National League. The Wolverines sell off their stars, including Big Sam Thompson going to the Philadelphia Quakers, and the so-called "Big Four" Dan Brouthers and Hardy Richardson to the Boston Beaneaters and Jack Rowe and Deacon White to the Pittsburgh Alleghenys.

1948 - In a move that will give them a pitching ace for the next decade, the Chicago White Sox acquire young lefthander Billy Pierce from the Detroit Tigers for All-Star catcher Aaron Robinson. The Tigers even sweeten the deal with $10,000. Pierce will win 186 games for the White Sox over the next 13 years. Robinson will last fewer than three seasons in Detroit.

Al Alburquerque named DSBA's top rookie.
Becomes first reliever to win award since 1998.
from the Tigers official site

Al Al led all American League relievers with a .142 batting average against, 4.36 hits per nine innings and 13.92 strikeouts per nine innings. He was tied for third with six wins.
The batting average against, hits per nine innings and strikeouts per nine innings were the best by a Tigers reliever since at least 1946.
(possibly when those stats started to be kept).
Alburquerque went 14 scoreless innings over 13 outings from May 21 to June 26, striking out 23 batters in the process. For the season, he stranded 28 out of 31 inherited runners, in part because opponents went 4-for-45 against him with runners in scoring position.

The price for Alex Avila's backup may have been set.
from Mlive

If you're curious what the market might be for the Tigers to get a backup catcher, the Pirates and Rod Barajas may have set the bar.
The two sides agreed on a one-year, $4 million contract with a $3.5 option for 2013. Last season with the Dodgers, Barajas, 36, hit .230/.287/.430 with 16 home runs and 47 RBIs in 98 games.
