buccanes Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) - Carlos Pena was unconditionally released Sunday by the Detroit Tigers after the first baseman struggled during spring training. Pena batted .160 with one home run in 50 at-bats in exhibition games. He split last season between Detroit and Triple-A Toledo. He hit .235 with 18 homers in 79 games with the Tigers and .311 with 12 homers with the Mud Hens. Pena signed a $2.8 million, one-year contract that wasn't guaranteed and will receive $688,525 in termination pay. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5445586...40813162&ATT=49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I wouldn't mind picking him up on a MiLB contract just for added insurence. Only 27, and has a year or two left of arbitration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Pena does fit with the Reds he will knock out atleast 30 homers in that ballpark and is a better option than Hatteberg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
