Comment () | Share: Fri, 25 Jul 2014 11:37:19 -0700 Detroit Tigers RP Joe Nathan struck out the side in the ninth inning to record the save Thursday, July 24. He was consistently hitting 93 and 94 mph with his fastball. Fantasy Tip: This refreshing skill probably was partially fueled by the acquisition of Joakim Soria, an alternative for saves. Nathan isn't in the clear yet, but this is a big statement toward him locking down the job. He's lucky Brad Ausmus already has given him a long leash this season. Comment () | Share: Tigers | Never serious on Jonathan Papelbon Fri, 25 Jul 2014 00:14:03 -0700 The Detroit Tigers never approached the Philadelphia Phillies for serious talks on CL Jonathan Papelbon.

Fantasy Tip: Nathan's hold on the job is precariously, and he can ill-afford any further blown saves with a proven closer in Soria on the roster and waiting in the wings. Comment () | Share:
Wed, 23 Jul 2014 20:02:55 -0700 The Texas Rangers traded RP Joakim Soria to the Detroit Tigers Wednesday, July 23, according to a source. The Rangers will get RP Corey Knebel, and minor-league P Jake Thompson. The deal is pending physicals. Fantasy Tip: The bullpen in Detroit has been a dumpster fire this season, and the team would likely be well ahead in the Central Division race if not for its shortcomings. It's uncertain yet whether Soria will step into closer duties in Motown, but fantasy owners of Joe Nathan have to dislike this deal tremendously. Nathan has struggled with plenty of blown saves, and it wouldn't be shocking to see Soria step right into ninth-inning duties. Comment () | Share: Tigers | Joel Hanrahan still a longshot Tue, 22 Jul 2014 17:16:12 -0700 Detroit Tigers RP Joel Hanrahan (elbow) is still considered a longshot to pitch this season. Fantasy Tip: Hanrahan signed with the team for one season, and it appears they might not get any return on that investment. Fantasy owners have long since ignored him. Comment () | Share:  |
