Santos makes positive impression in camp.
The Tigers' move to send Omir Santos back to minor-league camp had been expected since before Spring Training began. The Tigers like him as an insurance catcher, which is why they wanted him back for a second year, but he was never going to win a roster spot as long as Alex Avila and Gerald Laird were healthy.
That said, Santos still left for Triple-A Toledo on a high note with manager Jim Leyland.
"Santos had a heck of a camp," Leyland said. "He quietly hit the ball very well this spring, did a good job."
Santos is expected to serve as the primary catcher for the Mud Hens. However, he could still end up sharing duties with prospect Bryan Holaday, who was not listed on the final roster for Double-A Erie when it was released Friday.

Community Forecast from Tango Tiger
Playing Time : Detroit Tigers
As I have been doing for a few years, I am using the Wisdom of Crowds approach to determine how often each player on your team is expected to play. Like my recent surveys, this one is available in real-time. Select your team, then choose how you think each player will be used.

Your results will be used as an input to the Marcel The Monkey Forecasting System (aka The Marcels). Who knows more about whether a pitcher will be in the starting rotation or the bullpen: an algorithm or a true fan? Who knows more about the number of games an injured Chris Carpenter will play in 2012: an algorithm or a Cardinals fan? There are certain human observation elements that are critical for forecasting. That's where you can come in, and why you are here. Thanks for helping.

The rosters are based on the 40-man rosters as of Mar 26, 2012, as shown on MLB.com, as well as select non-roster invitees (NRI) . If you have any write-in candidates beyond that, tell me.
 
March 31 in Tigers and mlb history :

1909 - The National Commission rules that players who jump contracts will be suspended for five years. Players joining outlaw organizations will be suspended for three years as punishment for going outside organized baseball.

1995 - The longest strike action in sports history ends - in a courtroom. A U.S. District court order forbids owners from implementing new financial working conditions in the wake of the impasse in negotiations. The court decides that conditions will revert to the old rules from the previous season. Because of the timing of the court order, 18 games will have to be trimmed from the major league schedule.

2009 - The Detroit Tigers surprisingly cut slugger Gary Sheffield, who is one home run shy of 500 for his career. Sheffield, a 9-time All-Star, is 25th on the all-time home run list and 27th in RBI (1,633). He only hit .178 in spring training, but went deep in 5 of 45 AB. He says he is not shocked, but is surprised. Marcus Thames will replace Sheffield as Detroit's starting DH.
