Brent Clevlen Gets The Call
Is there any reason to call up a Double A outfielder who's hitting .224/.307/.350? Brent Clevlen joins the Tigers today, in the midst of his best month with the Erie SeaWolves (a .776 OPS in July).
One possibility is that a trading partner wanted the kid showcased and the Tigers obliged. Entering this season, Clevlen was ranked Detroit's second-best position player behind Cameron Maybin.
Clevlen is a 22 year-old right fielder with above average power potential, according to Baseball America. Back on July 17th, Jon Paul Morosi of the Detroit Free Press mentioned that the Tigers could offer a package of Clevlen, Jair Jurrjens, and Humberto Sanchez for Alfonso Soriano.

For Lowell or Loretta? Pedroia up? The Red Sox seem to be setting up a nice group of power arms at the back end of the bullpen...
