The Tigers purchased Dustin Molleken?s contract from Triple-A Toledo today. To make room for Molleken on the 25- and 40-man rosters, the Tigers designated the contract on infielder Casey McGehee for assignment.
Absolutely assinine.

McGehee, 33, appeared in one game for the Tigers and went 0-for-1. He hit .323 with 17 doubles and 27 RBIs in 66 games for the Mud Hens.

The Tigers also announced they have transferred right-handed pitcher Drew VerHagen to the 60-day disabled list with right shoulder thoracic outlet syndrome.

Nice job Pelfrey.. you fuck.

 

[tigermud]

You have got to be shittng me they bring up McGehee then dfa him one day later what a f'n joke..you know what, that can just go right to hell

 

[tigermud]

How much ya wanna bet someone in the div picks him up and he destroys us later in the year. Why is this team such a joke

 

[kalinecountry]

That is one incompetent move. They bring McGehee up and say how great it will be for depth at 1st and 3rd, and then dfa him after 1 game, and bring up a guy who walks almost as many as he K's. It's a feel good story for this Molleken guy after 13 years, but stupid to do it at the expense of a ML'er of several seasons.

 

[tigermud]

I'm sorry but this one really pisses me off, who the fk is Dustin Molleken anyway! Good gawd one of the dumbest moves ever IMO

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

Wow. Cannot defend that move nor continuing this charade with pelfrey.

Two years for this guy....Jesus.

Dustin Molleken


These are all players that required someone to be removed from the 40-man roster so that they could be added. Most spent very little or no time with the Tigers. A reliable source said with Molleken, DET leads all of MLB with 40-man roster additions from within the organization the last 2 years with 10 (so I must be missing someone).

Webvideo Miggy's towering two-run homer 06/20/16.
Miguel Cabrera crushes a long two-run homer to left-center that bounces out of the park and into the street to open the scoring in the 1st inning.

the back end of the rotation has been so far from serviceable this year. Nobody has great 4-5 starters but ours have just been automatic losses for the most part

I don't know, but it is had to beat Cleveland's rotation right now that Carrasco is healthy.

 

[Rebbiv]

10 hits through 4 innings, but those 3 GIDP have helped Pelfrey out.

He's got a way of staying on life support

 

[Sbee]

I'd be shocked if Pelfrey gives us more than 5 innings, another 4 innings for the bullpen that's running on fumes

Ausmus will have him go back out in the 6th, let a couple of men to get on base, then bring in Ryan to give up both inherited runners.

 

[jas5lf]

My God, the M's are batting .500 off Pelfrey through 5. Wtf?

 

[lonesometiger]

6 to 5 is palfrey going make thru the 5th?

 

[gotime909]

this asshole just doesn't like having leads does he?
