Tigers announce spring roster, confirm Kelly deal.
from Jason Beck's Tigers blog

Don "Freaking" Kelly is back with the Tigers?

Well...sort of so far, apparently.

"Jim Leyland?s decision to continue managing the Tigers was a factor in Kelly?s decision to return."

Kelly isn't dumb, b/c he knows that just like last season, his chances of having a bit more than just a cup of coffee next season in the majors, is the best with 'ol Jimmy on any potential call-ups from the minors.

At any rate, Rogo will be pleased to learn that one of his fave players that he loves to hate, might yet again become a juicy target for some posts on his blog this year...haha!!:argh:

It already started on twitter!! Phil Coke's Brain said anyone who knocks Don Kelly is an asshole, and Rogo tweeted back, "Kelly says an NL team was interested in him. I believe he meant the Pirates from 1986-1996", and "PHIL COKE SUCKS AT PITCHING! (kicks dog) (pisses on toilet seat) (talks on cell phone during movie)".

January 17 in Tigers and mlb history:

1952 - Detroit Tigers owner Walter Briggs dies at the age of 74. His son will succeed him in the presidency.

1970: The Sporting News names San Francisco Giants outfielder Willie Mays as its "Player of the Decade" for the 1960s. Mays beats out the likes of Hank Aaron in the voting.

1970: Major league teams select a record 357 players in the January phase of the annual free agent draft, including top pick Chris Chambliss, by Cleveland, and Chris Speier. Fred Lynn, drafted by the Yankees in the first round, will not sign.

2008 - Major League Baseball owners unanimously vote to extend commissioner Bud Selig's contract through the 2012 season. The contract extension will make Selig baseball's second-longest-serving commissioner, behind only Kenesaw Mountain Landis. The vote comes in a week when Selig has been criticized by the U.S. Congress for not cracking down hard enough on steroids.

2012: One year ago today, Bad news for the Tigers as they learn that DH/C Victor Martinez suffered a torn ACL during off-season training and is likely lost for the season.
