Here are the day’s minor moves:
- UPDATED: After previously indicating the Tigers had agreed with righty Donovan Hand on a minor-league deal, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston now tweets that the deal was only close to completion. Hand is still unsigned at this point. Now 31, he was a useful member of the Brewers staff in 2013 but hasn’t seen a significant MLB opportunity since. Hand pitched in the upper minors for the Mets last year, working to a 5.99 ERA with 5.9 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 in 139 2/3 total frames.
Interesting sign. As far as ex brewers go, I probably would have taken my chances with a younger Tyler Cravy
As a Brewers fan, Cravy is a bit off the wall. I don’t really want distractions from my minor leaguers who aren’t top prospects.
Off the wall? Since when did he cheat (Braun) lie to the public (Braun) get multiple DUIs and fail multiple drug tests (jeffress) get arrested and threaten a cop (Broxton) ?? I’d say off the wall is a bit extreme. Maybe a small lapse of judgement is a better term.
You’ll need all the Hand you can get
You can’t break up with me. I’ve got Hand!
Gonna be a long season for the Tigers. They need all the help they can get.
