Tigers ship out Shelton for Freddy Guzman
The Tigers just keep lighting up the newswire. This time they moved Chris Shelton to Texas for a player who is pretty much the anti-Shelton, Freddy Guzman.

The Full Pen
We’ve taken a look at how the Tigers may, or at least how we think (and by we I mean I and the people who agree with me) they may fill out their bench. The bench is one of the few areas of ambiguity in terms of the roster. The other area is the bullpen. Unlike with the bench, there aren’t too many assumptions to clarify.
