SARASOTA, Fla. -- Former Detroit Tigers centerfielder Anthony Gose threw a limited bullpen session in front of a few of the team’s coaches, including manager Brad Ausmus.
“I was very impressed,” said Ausmus. “His delivery was good. Smooth. Not a lot of effort involved. The ball came out good. Had real good finish.”
Gose, who played centerfield for the Tigers in parts of the past two seasons, was sent to the minors last season. This spring, he was given a non-roster invite to big league camp. Earlier this week, he was sent back to the minors.
That’s when Gose, who pitched in high school, suggested to the Tigers he might be willing to try it again.
