Scott Bream rejoins Tigers as director of pro scouting
DETROIT -- Scott Bream was one of the last holdovers in Tigers baseball operations from Randy Smith's tenure as general manager, before the Padres hired him away with a better opportunity as a special assistant. Two years later, Detroit created a position to bring him back.
The Tigers haven't had a director of pro scouting under team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski, who placed those duties in the hands of longtime assistant Scott Reid as vice president of player personnel. They now have one in Bream, who will take on some of Reid's duties.
"He's a very good evaluator of talent, a very good baseball person," Dombrowski said, "a guy that we didn't want to lose at the time, but he also got a nice promotion at that point. For us, we're very happy to have him back.
"We had a very different role available now, because I think as Scott Reid progresses, he's going to give up some of his responsibilities and help him with the coordination there. But we also have a guy who's a good evaluator who can help us with trying to find players."
Bream fills the opening in the scouting department left by Eddie Bane, who joined the Red Sox at the end of the regular season as a special assistant for player personnel.
"We lost Eddie Bane, so we were really looking for someone who could step in and help us a great deal," Dombrowski said. "So Scott Bream's ready to step up and take some additional responsibilities."

After watching in '06, Alex Avila eager to play in World Series.
DETROIT -- The last World Series that Tigers catcher Alex Avila experienced was one of the most grueling times of his baseball career. It wasn't the games. It was the practices.
Avila was a fan during the Tigers' World Series run in 2006, rooting for his father's team. Avila was a student at the University of Alabama, where he was working out for the baseball team.
"I was going through fall practices, which were pretty unbearable physically," Avila said.
He headed home to attend the first two games of that series in Detroit. Once the Tigers hit the road for St. Louis in that series, though, Avila was back in school, and back in practice.
He was still paying attention. To him, though, it's much easier to play than to watch.
"I knew what he was going through," Avila said of his father, Tigers vice president/assistant general manager Al Avila. "We went through it when he was with the Marlins, even though I was much younger then.
"You're hopefully a lot more emotionally involved when you're watching the games, rather than playing. That's probably the biggest difference. When you're playing, it just seems like a baseball game. Obviously the intensity's there, but it's more just going with your gut and you're just playing. You're just allowing your ability to take over. When you're watching, there's so many more things racing through your mind."

Scherzer, Anibal, Coke pitch in second scrimmage.
DETROIT -- The second and last of the Tigers' scrimmages against their fall instructional league team wrapped up without many significant events. Max Scherzer, slated to start Game 4 of the World Series at Comerica Park on Sunday night, pitched two innings against Tigers hitters. Game 3 scheduled starter Anibal Sanchez tossed in an inning.
With Monday a work day, the game didn't have nearly as many onlookers from beyond the outfield fence as Sunday's game. The stands, meanwhile, were virtually empty save for team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski, vice president/assistant GM Al Avila, manager Jim Leyland and -- at least for an inning or two -- Game 1 starter Justin Verlander.
Phil Coke, who finished out the last three games of the American League Championship Series to sweep the Yankees, also got in an inning, as well as some comic relief. Even in a simulated game, he did his mad dash in from the bullpen. Then, after getting three quick outs, he asked for the ball back so he could get some more pitches for another out.
After another groundout, Coke tried it again, only to be turned down in his request for a five-out inning.

Al Kaline sees potential for greatness in Avisail Garcia.
Called up in August, young outfielder gaining valuable playoff experience.
from the Tigers official site

Al Kaline went to Double-A Erie looking to see if he could help the next great young Tigers hitter, top prospect Nick Castellanos, make the jump. He came back thinking Avisail Garcia was ready to help right now.
Kaline is Mr. Tiger for a reason, not just for his greatness over 22 seasons in the field, but for three decades of contributions since he hung up his spikes. He has spent more than a decade as a special assistant. Even at 77, he spends Spring Training working with Tigers outfielders on defense.
Kaline's opinion carries weight in the organization.
