The Detroit Tigers have what appears to be a set bullpen in advance of Opening Day on Thursday. Warwick Saupold has claimed the final bullpen spot over Johnny Barbato, who is likely going to start the season on the disabled list.
However, depth is always a plus and the Tigers have an opportunity to place a claim on a reliever who has posted solid numbers in the minors. That reliever, courtesy of the St. Louis Cardinals, is Josh Lucas.

While he does not have as cool of a nickname as The Leather Rocket, Jack Leathersich, Lucas has shown some promise and, if claimed, could force his way into an important role in the Motor City.
