Ah, nothing like a little roster movement to break up the day…
Earlier this week, Toledo Super Slugger Jeff Larish (not to be confused with Toledo Home Run King Mike Hessman) joined the Tiggers when Sheff re-joined the list of the elderly and infirmed. But today, we bring you more roster changes…
Matt Joyce Needs A Nickname no longer Needs A Nickname for the time being. Joyce was sent down back down to Toledo today after a week of struggles at the plate. And what handsome fella is taking his place?
Why…no…it can’t be!!!
THAT’S CLETE THOMAS’ MUSIC!!!!
The Slack Jawed One comes back to the Motor City for the first time since the return of the Son of Grander. Clete hit .295 in 18 games for the Tigers earlier this year, but he hasn’t exactly been tearing it up in the Glass City, hitting .242 with 5 homers and 20 RBI.
We at the Big Tilde fully expect Clete to be greeted as a liberator in Detroit and expect him to be the sparkplug for a 15-5 stretch. MINIMUM.
I say we rotate every Mud Hen up to the majors for two weeks until the end of the season.
Except Mike Hessman, for some ungodly reason.
I think Hessman’s .235 and whiffing in 17 of 51 ABs last year might have something to do with that.
It’s that or the fact that calling him up outside of the end of the season would destroy the space-time continuum and would reveal the location of the island from Lost.
Matt “Almond” Joyce. He’s still got nuts, right?
Mike Hessman is like older than Lindsey Hunter and Gary Sheffield combined.
literal LOL at Fritz.
