The Tigers got bounced pretty bad today.  Nate Robertson gave up five runs in five innings and both Fernando Rodney and Jose Mesa were shelled as well.  Bobby Seay was the only Tiger pitcher to not give up a run as he continued his solid spring. 

Chris Shelton and Timo Perez both went yard and they each had good games.  Shelton was three for four while Timo Perez was two for four with two runs and two RBIs.  The rest of the team had three hits.

Jim Leyland said he wants to make his final cuts on Monday so the next couple of days could be huge for a few players.  There’s a spot in the pen still open as well as one position player spot in which guys like Chris Shelton are fighting for.  Regardless, some time Monday we should know what the Tigers 25 man roster is going to look like.

Also, here’s a solid story on Gary Sheffield.  He says he feels great, the wrist is fine and that he’s ready to go.  I can’t ask for much more there.
