Down on the Farm: Guillen Returns to Game Action

Over the weekend our very own Chris Hannum discussed the return of Carlos Guillen. Monday evening Guillen began his rehab stint with the Advanced-A Lakeland Flying Tigers.

In three plate-appearances, Gullien finished 0-2 with a walk. He was lifted in the 5th inning for pinch runner Corey Jones. No injury was reported so I assume they are just easing him into things.

Guillen could potentially be a boost for the Tigers, regardless of what your opinion of him is at this point in his career. Seriously, can he be any worse than our everyday second-baseman?

Along with third-base, second-base continues to be a black hole in the tigers lineup. Ryan Reighbourne Raburn continues to struggle at the plate and in the field. This appears to be Guillens final audition for a spot somewhere on this Tigers team. His contract expires after this season, so hopefully he kicks things up a notch.
