Cleveland — Not to take anything away from the keen eye of Tigers scout Mike Russell, but manager Ron Gardenhire wasn’t sure Jose Cisnero was his most obscure discovery.
“I mean, yes, it’s a good scouting story,” Gardenhire said. “But when a guy is throwing 100 (mph), it’s really not that hard to scout him. You see an arm like that, that’s been around, who had been misfiring and now all of a sudden he is throwing strikes — you aren’t really taking much of a chance.
