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

Leyland was preoccupied, short, bothered during pre-game briefing. Tells you stresses of cutting players and finalizing roster are heavy.

When do Tigers have to make final roster final? ... Plane leaves Tuesday. We're figuring Monday morning. No set time.
There has to be a place for Dirks on this Tigers team ... Suspect it's firm. Clete had a shot. Dirks has outplayed him.

Max Scherzer unfazed after allowing 10 hits in Tigers' loss.
from the detnews

"I thought he threw a lot of really good pitches that ended up as hits," said catcher Alex Avila.

"They hit some pitches that were down and away," Scherzer said. "They also hit some that were up.
"One walk in my last 17 2/3 innings? That's a huge positive. That's good. That's really good, actually, plus my slider and changeup were good. That's something you can take forward into the season."

Tigers on road next two days but "things could happen" said Leyland (meaning roster moves). We're close."
Leyland - when he said "we're close" - it meant to finalizing the roster, not necessarily to a trade.
Andy Dirks hitting .422 and probably has won a job - "he played all winter, came in sharp and has maintained that" said Leyland.

Octavio Dotel threw a scoreless inning for Triple-A Toledo on Thursday afternoon during a Mud Hens Spring Training game on the back fields at Tigertown. He's also scheduled to throw for the Tigers on Friday, which would give him one final test of throwing on back-to-back days before the Tigers break camp.
 
March 30 in Tigers and mlb history :

1972 - Marvin Miller, executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, completes his canvass of players on the strike issue. 663 vote in favor of a strike, ten vote against, and two players abstain.

1979 - Major League Baseball umpires meet in Chicago, IL and vote 50-2 to reject new offers from the American and National leagues. They will be on strike when the season starts in a few days.

2010: Dontrelle Willis' comeback is on the right track, as he is advised by Tigers manager Jim Leyland that he has made the team as the fifth starter. The Tigers also trade P Nate Robertson to Florida for left-handed pitching prospect Jay Voss.
