Detroit Tigers Team Notes

Tigers placed DH Victor Martinez on the 60-day disabled list with a left knee injury.
The move clears Martinez from the 40-man roster. The 33-year-old has been ruled out for the entire 2012 season due to microfracture surgery and ACL reconstructive surgery on his left knee.

Tigers look forward to reuniting with prospects.
LAKELAND, Fla. -- While the Tigers cut ties with right-hander David Pauley, they're hoping to eventually renew ties with the eight youngsters they sent to Minor League camp on Monday. In at least a few cases, their performances in camp gave the Tigers every reason to believe they'll be back at some point in the coming years.

Third baseman Nick Castellanos, Detroit's top position prospect, was among those assigned to Minor League camp. So were catchers Rob Brantly, Curt Casali, Patrick Leyland and James McCann, as well as utility man Justin Henry. Two other prospects, outfielder Avisail Garcia and second baseman Hernan Perez, were advised that their contracts will be optioned out on Thursday. Garcia will be assigned to Double-A Erie, with Perez going to Class A Lakeland.

None of those moves were surprising. Leyland had strongly hinted on Sunday that it was time to send out the prospects and let them play regularly in Minor League camp.

"I think we sent out eight prospects, some of them a little better than others," Leyland said.

Castellanos had just four plate appearances this spring, not counting the Florida Southern College exhibition, yet showed his promise in early workouts. Garcia saw late-inning action as a reserve outfielder, going 2-for-7 with a double and making a handful of running catches in right field. He turned one into a spectacular double play when he fired from foul territory in right field to third base to nab a runner trying to tag up.

"He's just one of those premier prospects," Leyland said.

The catching prospects are annually among the first cuts, once the Tigers get deeper into game action. Leyland got all of them into game action to some extent, enough for Leyland, Brantly, Castali and McCann to record base hits.

The moves reduce Detroit's camp roster to 48 players.

March 13 in Tigers and mlb history :

1943 - The major leagues approve a new official ball manufactured by the Spalding Company for the upcoming season. Instead of the usual combination of cork and rubber, the inside of the ball is made up of recycled cork and balata, materials not needed in the war effort. Officials insist the ball will have the resiliency of the 1939 ball, but the players will express dismay that they cannot drive the new ball and point out the dearth of runs and homers in 1942 even with the old ball.

1969 - In addition to this year's lower mound and tightened strike zone, Major League Baseball tries an experimental ball with 10% more resiliency for a spring training game between the Mets and Tigers in Lakeland, Florida. It has an all-rubber center instead of a cork and rubber core, and the seams are higher than the regular ball. Mets pitcher Don Cardwell surrenders three home runs in the 4th inning to Dick McAuliffe, Norm Cash, and Gates Brown in the Tigers' 7 - 4 victory. Tomorrow, in Phoenix, Arizona, the same ball is used in the Giants' 13 - 1 win over the Angels. The players agree the ball is definitely livelier and sounds louder coming off the bat.

2006: Major League Baseball agrees to a five-year contract with the North American Sports Network to televise about 275 games live each season. NASN, which gained rights to the All-Star Game, the playoffs and the World Series, is televising the World Baseball Classic. The subscription network, based in Dublin, Ireland, broadcasts in Britain, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Iceland and the Netherlands. The deal is valued at $18 to $20 million, according to Sports Business Journal.
