In 2006, he was a bulldog. Gum Time was at the top of his game. The lefty made it a habit of carving up opposing lefties with his hard biting slider. In 2008, when Nate Robertson signed his extension, he was part of a nucleus that was the future on the mound for the Detroit Tigers.
Now in 2009, he is just trying to fit in.
That battle continues tonight, as one of Detroit’s most beloved pitchers at one point this decade returns to the mound looking to have success. Striving for the fun factor. Tonight Nate will dig deep: for command, [...]

With the trade deadline looming already, and the mid season past us, it is time to look at how the minor league system is producing. So far, it has been a successful run for many prospects. Wilkin Ramirez made his first appearence in the major leagues. Luke French has shown that he can be a competitive pitcher at the major league level. Ryan Perry opened the season with the Detroit Tigers, and though he had a hard time controling his pitches, his stuff was very impressive. Alfredo Figaro struck out seven in his very first major league start. Meanwhile, it [...]

When Zach Simons was traded to the Detroit Tigers from the Colorado Rockies, he was not among one of the top relieving prospects in the Colorado system. So when the Tigers needed to make room for Fransisco Cruceta, and Jason Grilli was being booed out of Comerica Park, Simons was rooting for another chance. When the Rockies dealt him to Detroit for the Italian Stallion: Jason Grilli, Simmons began his reasscendence into being a top [...]

College: Illinois State
Ht.: 6-4 Wt.: 185
Bats: R Throws: L
In five pro seasons, Kyle Bloom has yet to breach the Double-A level, but that didn’t stop the Tigers from selecting him in the first round of the Rule V draft. At 25 years old, the Tigers feel they found an extreme talent in the lefty after his performance in the Hawaiian League this winter.
Drafted in the fifth-round in 2004 out of Illinois State by the Pirates, Bloom gave up just 15 hits and 11 walks, while striking out 32 in 30 [...]

Ht.: 6-2 Wt.: 210

150,000 dollars later, and with one season now under his belt, 2008 sixth round pick Tyler Stohr has developed into a true relief and closer prospect. A product of the University of North Florida, Stohr shut down a Atlantic Sun leading ten saves in 2008, also good enough for 11th in the Nation. He hit the top prospect radar in the summer of 2007 with a great performance in the infamous Cape Cod League, where [...]
