May 9, 200521 yr Tigers placed RHP Troy Percival on the 15-day disabled, retroactive to May 8, with a partial tear of his right flexor pronator muscle mass. The Tigers hadn't indicated that Percival was having any problems. Still, this hardly comes as a surprise. Ugueth Urbina will move into the closer's role, and Kyle Farnsworth and Jamie Walker will be used as setup men. Expect an update later on a possible timetable for Percival's return. http://www.rotoworld.com/includes/topblurbs.asp?sport=MLB That came out of no where.
May 9, 200521 yr Ummm...wow. The Tigers can't seem to find sturdy relievers...Farnsworth has been having trouble with his biceps muscle and now Percy...and to make it worse Rodney is still out with his shoulder injury.
May 9, 200521 yr I wish him the best.....the Tigers knew they were taking risks signing Maggs and Percival, and the gamble's are failing for now.
May 10, 200521 yr BASEBALL GODS, WHAT THE HELL HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS!?!?!?!?!? I had both BENITEZ and PERCIVAL on my fantasy teams! arrghhhhhh Oh well, at least Ugy is going to be closing again and I wish him the best of luck.
May 10, 200521 yr I still think Uggy is the man 768829[/snapback] He may not be that bad in the closers role...we all know the 'chemistry' him and Pudge have...
