Right handed relief pitcher Roman Colon had surgery on his neck in the offseason and it doesn’t look like he’ll be ready for the start of the season so it’s expected that he’ll find his way onto the disabled list at the beginning of the year.  An ancilliary benefit of this is, Colon is out of options so it lets us carry the pitcher while he recovers from surgery.  It didn’t seem likely that Colon was going to make the team based on the current start of the Tigers bullpen so this gives the Tigers a little more time to figure out what to do with him.
