Detroit Tigers Team Notes

November 18 in Tigers and mlb history :

1963 - The Detroit Tigers send outfielder Rocky Colavito, pitcher Bob Anderson, and a reported $50,000 to the Kansas City Athletics for second baseman Jerry Lumpe and pitchers Dave Wickersham and Ed Rakow.

2010: Commissioner Bud Selig states that Major League Baseball is considering expanding the postseason by two teams, by adding a second wild card in each league. The two wild card winners would face each other in a best-of-three series to open the postseason, with the three division winners getting a bye. The proposal will now be discussed at the December Winter Meetings and would need to be accepted by the Players Association.

Detroit Tigers Team Notes

Iorg has had shoulder surgery, it's highly unlikely he would be selected. May not be ready to start season in 2012.

Adding Casey Crosby to Tigers roster earns him first chance in big league camp. Would be interesting to see if he gets look in relief.
