Detroit Tigers Team Notes

According to Justin Havens of ESPN Stats and Information, Rick Porcello's fastball velocity in October was the highest in three seasons, at 92.7 MPH.
The Tigers are hoping Porcello can continue his late-season prowess after struggling with his velocity during the first half of last season. "By the end of the year, that was the old Porcello plus some," manager Jim Leyland said. "He was throwing sinkers at 92-93 MPH, topping out at 95, his change-up was better, and his slider was more consistent.'' Porcello, 23, is set to make $3.1 million in his first year of arbitration. He remains under team control through the 2015 season.

Chris Iott of M-Live.com considers Adam Wilk a darkhorse for the Tigers' fifth rotation spot this season.
The Tigers are looking for a replacement for Brad Penny and manager Leyland prefers pitchers who can throw strikes. Wilk posted a 3.24 ERA and 76/14 K/BB ratio over 102 innings at Triple-A Toledo last season. Other candidates for the job include Jacob Turner, Duane Below, Drew Smyly, and Andy Oliver.
