The general manager of the Detroit Tigers wants more pitching depth.
Al Avila was recently quoted by MLB.com’s Jason Beck as saying that he’d “still like to have more depth in pitching… We’re adequate right now.” This could apply to the either, or both, the rotation and the bullpen.
For now, the rotation seems the most likely place to expect an addition.
The bullpen is set with four different relievers (Alex Wilson, Justin Wilson, Blaine Hardy and Mark Lowe) who could function as quality set-up options in building a bridge to closer Francisco Rodriguez.
